Branget Branget TOTAL NEWBIE Registered: 08/25/09 Posts: 11897	Great thread! I'm definitely a newbie when it comes to SS and sketches. After debating on becoming a witness for a few years I finally submitted my application weeks before they changed the program $doh\!$ So far I'm a big fan of dropping off my SS books at the CGC booth and letting them do their thing. I will still drop off my larger stacks to CGC but want to start getting a sketch or 2 on my own as well as some pictures with creators. In general ( I realize this question is WIDE open) how many creators are open to this? If I wanted a sketch and then get a CGC SS for it do I approach the artist ASAP, get in line for a sketch and then ask CGC to come by when the sketch is complete? Is this something I can ask CGC to handle completely? Toronto's big comicon is fast approaching so I'm hoping to be ready. I was commenting to my Wife the other day that it would be hilarious to get a picture with Thomas Jane holding his package while Peter Facinelli has his hand on my chest ( Don't put too much thought into this. If you have to think about it you need to watch Hung and Nurse Jackie ) Any advice appreciated $\(thumbs u$ _________________________ Andy70/Exwhyzee/Beige - " Canada - don't bother - too expensive, slow and uninsurable.So no Canadians thanks"

Some people do not realize that artists are doing something that they love for other people. They are not machines to take advantage of with 10+ sketches and 50 signatures. That's just unrealistic. If they are there all weekend, then don't hit them all at once. You can always go back later. I was in line to get a sketch and signature from Finch at last year's Baltimore con. You know, one signature and one head sketch. Done. There was s couple people in line with huge stacks of, I would have to guess, everything that Finch had ever done to be signed. That's just not right, to the artist expecting him to sign every book and to the people behind you who have been waiting a long time. If you've ever been in a line to get anything from him, you know how long the lines usually are. I jumped in line around lunch time when it was not so bad. Here's a tip that I used last year. If you're next up to get something done and you see a little kid who has been waiting in line for a long time, let him go ahead of you. The kid and parent will be very appreciative and the artist will see that you're a nice guy. Artists love doing things for kids so its always a nice break for them. _________________________ "I always have coffee when I watch radar. You know that!"

I would imagine that the people who have been waiting in line in front of the little kid would probably not enjoy that technique very much. _________________________

spideysenses78 spideysenses78 Talkative? Registered: 08/19/10 Posts: 732 Loc: Baltimore	Very true. After re-reading my last post, I forgot to mention is that Finch asked the kid to come up to the front of the line and I didn't have a problem with it. Wrong wording on my part, sorry. I wasn't trying to say that if you see a kid in line to tell him to get in line ahead of you. That's not fair to the other people in line. If the artists asked the kid to move to the front of the line, try not to make a big deal over it. That's all. _________________________ "I always have coffee when I watch radar. You know that!"
