As I said, I'm thinking about putting together something of a sketchbook. Like any collector, I want to have something neat, something that will make other collectors' eyes perk up and say "That's different--I like it!" Most importantly of course will be that I like it ;-) I'm still in the embryotic states of determining what theme/s my book will focus on, but I was thinking about doing sketch cards and mounting them into the book with acid-free adhesive tape. I was thinking about trying to get two cards per artist where the cards themselves would somehow "interact" with one another. Here are two examples of what I picked up from up and coming artist, Anthony Fleec:
I'm kind of thinking I might try to theme the sketches around the theme of "pairings" where each sketch has another sketch that it plays off of. The two don't necessarily need to intersect as these two pairs do, but Batman and Joker as well as Spider-Man and Green Goblin are two such natural pairs that go hand in hand. Anyhow, this is just some of the ideas that I'm playing with for this new little project of mine.
Anyhow, that's the current game plan. I'm working on getting at least one if not two Stan Lee signatures for my BIG Marvel Silver Age keys, as well as a few other nice signatures for classic books of mine. When they're done, I'll see about posting some pics as it's always cool when more books get signed :)
