This past weekend at the East Coast Comic Con, I was fortunate enough to snag a commission from an artist that I really like. Yanick Paquette is super talented and known for working on Swamp Thing, Wonder Woman, and plenty of other titles.
Since I was stuck manning my booth, I had my good buddy @falcore pop over to Yanick to inquire about conjuring me up a sweet Mysterio. He was more than happy to assist in that quest and was excited as it was his first time doing Mysterio. The price for this puppy was $100 smackers which I was happy to pay.
I did sneak away on Sunday just to introduce myself and thank him. He was working on a piece when I got there and watching him do his watercolors is really a sight to see. I love it and it will look great framed (eventually) with the rest of my art.
He made a joke that he got to use his new tool that he bought for like $2 bucks to create the dome. He was a super nice guy and I look forward to chatting with him again at the next con!
Thanks again Mike for hooking it up. Thanks to Yanick for not only this piece but for the bonus piece for my Steem Comic Art Initiative that I’ll announce in the coming weeks. I’m juggling like 10 stupid initiatives that all culminate with bringing the nerd crowd on to the platform. This one I’m really pumped about!
Thx for checking it out folks!

Sup Dork?!? Enjoy the Upvote!!!
Howdy sir blewitt! Very interesting, did you sell alot of stuff there?
What is a Mysterio?
Mysterio is one of Spider-Man's foes, of course!
Howdy nickmorphew, I'm a little clueless about these characters so thank you!
No worries. Yeah he’s going to be in the new Spider-Man movie coming out in July!
oh ok, I'll get to know him through that then, thanks sir blewitt!
Are you current on the Marvel films?

No sir I haven't seen all of them but I think I've seen most of them. I haven't seen Endgame either but I just saw Infinity Wars last week.
It was an ok show @janton. Kinda a down year compared to previous ones there. Even other dealers were saying the same thing.
oh I'm sorry to hear that. I guess you just never know how it's going to be?
At least it's entertaining with all the people dressed up and everything!
Yeah it’s a local one that we always do. There were lots of competing shows this year on the same weekend so I think that played a part.

well as long as you at least make some on them and not lose money, that would be bad.
Great artwork, man. I'm not sure I could afford all the great stuff out there! I love water colours.. and man, I bet felloe steemian, Caitycat could do you an ace watercolour of just about ANYTHING. Her artwork rocks.
Take care, mate.
Nick.
I might hit her up and see what she can do!!! Appreciate the heads up on her.
Also yes...this shit gets stupid expensive at times.
