Sketchcards

Hey everyone I know I have been away for a while but you know how life gets in the way of hobbies and all that. I'm happy to say that I am back and I've already recorded a bunch of videos for the coming weeks!

I spent last weekend at comicon in Toronto and spent way too much money on art and toys and things and it got m thinking about how I can somehow collect more art for a cheaper price and possibly sell a bit more of my own art. 

Which brings me to sketchcards. I saw a few people selling these cards and I was intregued at the time but didn't get any. After I got home though I thought about how cool it would be to be able to go to the tables of the pros with little hockey card sized paper and ask for a sketch.   Most likely a lot of them would do something quick and much cheaper than their usual rates.

It also had me thinking about how I'm having a bit of a hard time selling to an unfocused audience on the local Facebook page and such, and these cards would offer a lower price point and a more highly collectable format which might be  interesting to more people.

And so, with a week of drawing a huge bristol board commission to think about it before starting out on the cards, I have drawn, inked and coloured my first batch of 9 cards!

Linked below is the first Wonder Woman card I've done!

If you are interested in buying any sketchcards,  just send me an email! themightychrispy@gmail.com and let me know, I plan to have a bit of an inventory list up soon. But I will take requests as well!
