Tim Sale Doctor Strange and Hulk sketches
Monday, September 1st, 2008First pieces online from the recent Toronto Fan Expo. Tim Sale was one of the big names I wanted to get a piece from and he employs a unique system, or rather the two or three associates he had with him employed. Tim does about ten sketches a day and hands out cards to the first people in his line giving a time that day when he’ll draw your sketch. This is a great system: you don’t need to waste hours in line waiting for no real reason. The one caveat is that he only spends 10-15 minutes on each piece, but his style fits the limited time frame. I was in line the second day and brought a friend to wait with me since he didn’t want a Sale piece and I really wanted two.
For the Doctor Strange I provided reference material. I really wanted a Dr. Fate but Tim didn’t want to do one: I asked for Hawkman but didn’t have reference material so I went with the Hulk.
