One hundred and forty-five down, fifty-five left to go! (Plus...)

I came in to the office today to grab a bicycle for my daily ride, and took some TMNT #30's with me, thinking I might find a nice spot somewhere along the way to do more head sketches. I ended up sitting in the shade on some steps at Smith College, and enjoyed the air while I finished another twenty of them.

When I got here this morning, I was pleased to find these five copies of TMNT #30 sitting in front of my office door.



Yesterday I had asked the dudes if they would each do smallish head sketches in these five copies of the book, so that five lucky people would get copies with a sketch from each of us. (These copies will be randomly inserted into the order stream.) Jim Lawson had to show everybody up by doing full figures. I like the sepia ones Eric did... and check out the wacky expression Dan gave one of his! (Must be Mikey...) -- PL

  3. Do the people who asked for a specific head sketch get an equal chance of snagging one of these, or do I have to order another?

    Not that I'd mind if I did.

  4. Oh wow... that seems like so much work...two hundred drawings!

    Thanks so much for doing this and making the comic so special. And thanks to the rest of the guys, as well.

    Now what incantation do I do so I am sure to get a comic with *all* the goodies...?

  5. I hope everyone enjoys them. By the time I will be able to order one, they'll be gone. But I'm not bitter. Nope. Not ME!

    :P

    'Sides, there are no Splinters.

  6. Wow those are awesome... I wish I could order more copies, but I am perfectly happy with the Peter Laird sketch I got in mine yesterday! Thank you sooo much!!
    I hope you guys keep doing sketches in future issues, I would surely order more copies.

  7. Maybe the slightly longer processing on ordering from abroad will give me a chance on one of the specials...!

  8. Man, these are so cool, and now I am going to be so sad when mine arrives and only has a single sketch in it :(

    If you have asked for a specific artist's sketch, you will get a sketch by that artist. -- PL

    I hesitate to say this -- because I don't want to complicate matters unnecessarily -- but, after thinking about it some more, I suppose you could specify that, while you want one specific artist's sketch, you wouldn't mind getting one of these multi-sketch copies. -- PL

  11. *puts in wish for Birthday*

    GREAT Sketches! I love Dan Berger's turtles...

    And I agree with Cyn - at least ONE Splinter sketch would be nice... :)

  12. Wow! That's so cool of you all to do that. Hopefully these will go to an actual fan, and not just end up on eBay, like so many other exclusive things.
