I got the date wrong. Martin's turning 99 on 01/06, this Thursday. I'd better get my card in the mail tonight!

Here's another one. I don't know the artist but he can draw pretty good and does commissions.

I actually started some commissioning (?) and will be placing them here as I get them:
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=56510
(I think that's the public address).
So far, I only have one back (The Grim Reaper), but have one to come from Hembeck, another one by Michael Mikowsky, and one from Mitch Ballard.
Mitch also did a drawing (to be revised and inked) of some of my own characters (with a couple PD updates) here:

Plastino (see earlier post) is tres expensive, but I have a pretty good idea, just have to print the reference material and get a money order to him.
Yoc:
Very Cool Grim Reaper Roy!
Please let us know when you get anything more.
I'm a big fan of Hembeck and I'm sure he'd love to do some GA characters for you.
