As some of you may know, I have a bunch of blank Artist Proof sketch cards that I have from doing various sets throughout the years. So, from time to time, I'm going through and finishing them. Today's featured cards are from the 2017 set, The Saint, released by Unstoppable Cards. I had three AP's, so here they are. Links are below, if interested:

Simon Templar 1    Simon Templar 2    Simon Templar and Adrienne Halberd 

Neanderthal Skulls Artist Proof Sketch Cards

 

I have a ton of Artist Proof blanks laying about and I'm trying to plow through them to get them out there. Occasionally, I an contacted to see what I have, but I'm a bit impatient at times, so, here are a couple from the Dinosaurs and other prehistoric entities set released in 2015 by Upper Deck. I like how they put the names on the cards to take the guess work on just what to do. I have many specific dinosaur blanks, if anyone is interested in those.

I went with fossils of the skulls and may do the same with the other cards that feature dinosaurs. And, I took a little different approach with these two. I used colored inks and watercolor. If interested, the eBay links are below:

Ultraman, Series 3 Artist Proof Sketch Cards

 

As promised last week, here are my Artist Proof sketch cards done for the Ultraman, Series 3 card set recently released via RR Parks Cards. The links are below:

Twintail    Alien Pitt    Alien Icarus    Alien Goron    Ultraseven

Manos: The Hands Of Fate Artist Proof Sketch Cards

 

So... it's been a couple of years since I'd done these Manos: The Hands of Fate sketch cards for RR Parks. I didn't even know that the set was released and quite frankly, forgot about it. There are a few sets that I'm still waiting to be released so that I can show those cards. Anyways, here are the Artist Proof cards for that set. If you haven't seen the 1966 movie... It's bad. And not in a Plan 9 from Outer Space bad. But, you can laugh at it via the Mystery Science Theater 3000 showing and can mock it in that way. 

It was a fun set to draw, though and I will show the rest of the cards that I did for this set soon. Probably this week.

Here are the links for the auctions:

The Cop    Margaret and Michael    Manos

The Master   Torgo     The Burning Hand. 

Ultraman Series Two Artist proof Sketch Cards

 

Ok, here we go... These are my Artist Proof sketch cards from the Ultraman, Series Two set released by RR Parks Cards last year. These sets are always a lot of fun to do and will be commencing work on Series 4 very soon. There will be a Kickstarter for Series 3, so stay tuned for that. 

Anyways, below are the eBay links for each card:

Yuriko Oka    Ultraman Jack    Alien Zoole    Zanika

Kodaigon    Nokogilin    Twintail    Gudon

Upper Deck Cosmic Artist Proof Sketch Cards

Cosmic Card 3    Cosmic Card 4

DC Bombshells Series III Artist Proof Sketch Cards

 

So, in continuing with getting these blank Artist Proof cards from previous sets done that have been sitting around for what seems to be forever, the next in line are these two from Cryptozoic's DC Bombshells set from 2019. I did a bunch of cards for the set, but was unfamiliar with the line/brand and assumed that they wanted pin-up style versions of their characters, not knowing that there was a 40's style line-up of the characters. They were nice enough about it and tried to get them pushed through anyways, but DC wasn't going for it. They still let me keep my AP's, though and here they are. Listings are below:

Batwoman   Zatanna

Museum Collection Baseball Artist Proof Sketch Cards

 

Here are my Artist Proof/Return Cards for the Museum Collection Baseball set recently released through Topps, including 3 special die-cut shaped cards, as you can see in the bottom row. Links below, if interested:

Hollywood Is Dead Artist Proof Sketch Cards

I am currently going through the stack of blank Artist Proof cards that I've accumulated over the years and never completed, for one reason or another. So, the next in line are the 14 AP cards that I received for doing the 2010 set released through Rocket Ink Studios. For those who remember, this set was done in conjunction with Matt Busch's Hollywood Is Dead art book. Matt recreated a slew of classic and modern movie posters done in the style of the original artist, but as undead characters. The cards were done in each artists style, though and much fun was had.

I included recent movies and series, as well as classic ones. All cards have my very own AP sticker on the back to separate these from pack pulled cards. The links are below:

The Latex Resurrected     Benerotta    Nasto Boy

Archered    The Rotting Of Macbeth    The Biteman

There's Something Rotten In The Ozarks    Goopy    Slap Rot

The Great Rot    Rotting Arizona    Chreacher    The Bone Ranger    Mr. Dead

Ok, I'm plugging along and trying to do up some of these AP blanks from past sets and have just recently finished up these Walking Dead, Season 7 cards. The link are below:

Negan    Walker 1    Rick Grimes    Daryl Dixon    Walker 2

Ultraman Artist Proof Sketch cards

 

These are my Artist proof cards done for the Series 1 set released by RR Parks Cards. Since there are no stickers or stamps to signify these as AP's, I've added stars to the background to separate them from the rest of the cards that I did for the set. Links are below:

Shin Hayata    Ultraman    Ultraman 2

Ragon    Antlar    Bemular

Bemular 2    Kemur
