Picked up three pieces of artwork at TCAF this month, all from Michael Cho.  He wasn’t sketching but did bring along a large amount of finished work; this is the one that caught my eye straight off.  I love his inked with single colour style and this Thor really shows it off.  His prices are going up every year but that’s the same across the board for original artwork and to be fair these are larger than what he was doing last year and using gouache and ink instead of marker: it’s a cleaner finished product that really shines.

One of the highlights of Fan Expo 2009 was having Olivier Coipel at the show.  He didn’t for several hours after the show opened Friday but myself and a lady where the only two waiting for him: we took turns standing.  I happened to get his first sketch of the show and I am extremely happy with the piece.
