A few quick things regarding the Marvel Masterpieces set - which, in case you didn't know, is in stores now and selling like hotcakes!
- I haven't gotten back my 10 Artist Cards yet.
Some of you have asked about the 10 Artist Cards I'm supposed to be getting back from Upper Deck... They haven't shown up yet.. Hopefully they'll be here soon (I've been bugging 'em - so far, not much response). I'll keep ya posted. :/
- I do not have a character list.
I've had several people emailing me wondering if I wrote down a list of which characters I drew, how many of each, etc. I'm sorry, but I didn't keep a list. I promise I will next time. :) Which brings me to...
- Yes, I'm onboard for Marvel Masterpieces II.
It looks like I'll be doing either 50 or 100 sketch cards for the 2008 set. I'm getting the blanks next month -- I think the set's scheduled to come out in the spring sometime.
- An open call for artists!
Upper Deck has put out an open call for artists interested in drawing sketch cards for Marvel Masterpieces II. Here's the scoop: Send your mailing address, sample JPEGs, and how many cards you think you can handle to Mark_Irwin@upperdeck.com
Good luck to those of you who submit samples!
Sketch cards can be an great way to get your foot in the door, believe you me.

Grant! Long time no comment :P
Thanks for the info RE: the call for artists... I'd thought about getting in on Topps' LotR sketchcards, but couldn't commit to it at the time - this'll (hopefully) give me a chance to finally get in on some cards :)
I didn't know how many to commit to, considering I have no idea what hte deadline would be... so I played it safe.
Do you have any idea when the open call will end?
Damn i NEED to get in on this just a few questions.
Do you know when the deadline is?
How many samples should i send?
Any characters in perticular they like to see?
And should the samples be 2.5 x 3.5 or can they be any size?
Thanx in advance ;)
Well, you should contact Upper Deck, since I can only guess at the answers..
**Do you know when the deadline is?**
Probably early January, since they're mailing out the blank cards to artists around mid or late Jan.
**How many samples should i send?**
I would send maybe 4 samples - 2 female characters, 2 male characters - to show some variety.
**Any characters in perticular they like to see?**
I'm guessing they'd prefer to see Marvel characters. I'd say any of the popular superheroes would work.
**And should the samples be 2.5 x 3.5 or can they be any size?**
I'm pretty sure they can be any size, but I'd recommend sending card sized samples, since it will more accurately reflect what you'll be able to draw on the actual cards.
Thanx man,
It'll be a busy weekend LOL.
i just have to say man your art is amazing and has been a true inspiration to me. i think i've been checking out your site daily for like two years. yep yours and mike wieringo(R.I.P) were the first sites i'd check when i turned on the computer.wow thats a long comment. and i sound all fanboy oh well. anyway thanx again man,;)
