Very nice pickups!!

I HATE how CGC will not turn a book around if a sketch is on the back....I know it is their rules...but I don't see the big deal if you are paying for it!!!! make exceptions for just SS...or only sketches for petes sake!!! Just curious...what did that Lawson grade at?

Yea I have a couple others that are turned like that too. It bothered me at first too but now I think I am more bothered by the little plastic part on the right side that covers a little of the artwork. I know its clear but I can still see it. I was thinking about scanning and printing the top part and taping it to the back so when I hang all of them they look somewhat uniform.

It graded at a 9.8. Considering all the other ones I have seen graded at a 9.6 or lower I was exited about that.

Very nice sir! It's a good add to your collection

I have a Q about commissions. Does Murph ever do them? I know he does head sketches. Any info would be great.

[Shogun26]

Very nice and fantastic piece for your first!

I asked him for Leo in the unused TMNT 4 design and since it's my first commission I decided to make it extra special and asked if he could do it in colour. The result blew me away. I can't wait for this to get here!

I think he would laugh at you if you asked him for a commission, only because he's not an artist. Those head doodles are about the extent you'd get from him.

Saw this on Deviantart, I'm totally blown away! That is absolutely amazing.

[OA]

That Dooney is just lovely, and the Lawson SS is awesome too. Nice pickups guys!

[Chris]

Thanks everyone

Pretty sure this is at the post office now. I came in this afternoon to a parcel note saying large international item. Never thought I'd be wishing my weekend to go fast and looking forward to Monday morning

Edit - Yep, it arrived!!

Really well packaged with a nice sketch to boot



It looks amazing in hand;




And Dooney even threw in some prints as well

[Sofistocat]

^ Awesome! Very nice of him to throw in the prints.

I myself have a nice little piece of old school Berger. It's drawn on a thick piece of cardboard(~1/4"). I like Dan's old style sig and the way he drew the teeth...

^^Boooooo at you outbidding me on that.

Thanks! I hope you get something from him this year. I know you had some trouble trying to set up a commission at the end of last year, this piece was set up long before that but was well worth the wait. Fingers crossed for you.

Does anyone know if Dan Berger is taking commissions again?

Nope, I've been talking to him quite a lot in the last weeks, concerning my order from Mirage. He's still suffering from some health issues, so drawing isn't an option right now for him.

[Chris]

I didn't realise he had health issues. I hope he feels better soon.

[Sofistocat]

^ ^ Jay is right, his list is closed currently and Dan is going through some issues. He responded to me about a commish ~ 2 weeks ago and said what Jay iterated. Best regards on a speedy recovery Dan!

[spp]
