NEW TOPPS.COM "ARTISTS ON DEMAND" CUSTOM SKETCH CARD PROGRAM!

[Jean Nutty]

Brent's the "Featured Artist" this month hence the higher price.

His Wacky fans will be glad that he is the featured artist this month! 

[bigtomi]

Maybe its my own issue..LOL

I'd say no maybes about it.

[Tic_Toc]

Brent's the "Featured Artist" this month hence the higher price. Also of note, Dustin Graham is the "Rookie Artist" for this series! Here's the entire lineup:

Neil Camera
Brent Engstrom
Dustin Graham
Matthew Kirscht
Smokin' Joe
Joe Simko
Fred Wheaton

OK - so how does that translate into the actual sketch cards?  Is there something about the way the "featured artist" executes their sketch cards that gives them a higher retail value?  I'm just wondering why anyone would pay extra for Brent's sketch over someone else's (unless of course they are a big fan).

[jeffcaff]

It is a little confusing.  Does this mean that each artist is limited to drawing 15 sketches whether it is color or black and white?  It also appears that the customer can only purchase a maximum of 2 sketches per artist.  Can anyone clarify as I might be interpreting this incorrectly?

are you referring to the Character Number, and the Personalize Your Name Here fields on the order page?

that's just the limits on what you can type in the field. nothing to do with order limits.

Character #'s are 1-55. Hence no 3 digit numbers.
and your name on the card can't be more than 15 characters, so I'm out of luck. I'd just be:  Fanatical_and_Si

Maybe gold dust infused ink or diamond glitter?

With today’s Walmart mentality, it's not unreasonable to expect a discount on the featured artist!

"Fanatical & Sick" might work better  ...

They expect him to draw 25% better than everyone else! Brent, the pressures on!

[Smokin Joe]

I have agreed to draw with my 'other' hand (shhh... the first one just doesn't understand an artist's needs), or feet (either one will produce similar quality), or for a limited time... an appendage of your choice; when I am not the featured sketch artist. When I am.... same rules apply.

[JasonLiebig]

Hmmm....that image looks an awful lot like a box top - are we going to see a whole new set of Uglies?  Pleeaaaseeeee......

I would love to see a new Old School type monster series...that'd be fun.

[Fanatical_and_Sickly]

good to see that this page that was showing during the morning on 8/1 got updated before it went live.

Step 2 would have been really confusing, as it still said Wacky Packages!

Well, I bit the bullet and ordered both a Color and B&W from Neil Camera!
A very special thanks to the artists for helping revive this series.

Amazingly beautiful stuff!

The Ugly Stickers sketch artists have been posting more cards on their Facebook pages. Here are four of mine:

[crackedjerk]

Some great stuff here, gentlemen!  Is it reasonable to assume this high quality work will be done for all AOD work or are these simply the cream of the crop?  I am definitely interested in getting one of these and would like to know what level of quality I could expect.  Come to think of it, I haven't even checked the price (as I wasn't interested in an Ugly Stickers sketch).  What is it?  Are Wackys planned for next month?

You can expect each and every Artists on Demand card to be exceptional: Hand-drawn, customized and very collectible! The artists are really going all out to show off their aesthetic brilliance!

Here's a few more black & white samples coming soon to the Topps.com Artists on Demand page:



Prices vary between the different cards. See Topps.com for specific details.

Thanks for the info, Neil!  I look forward to hearing more about which artists and which titles will be available for Wackys.  Sadly, my budget will limit me to a black and white, but those look great as well.

Here are a few of my UGLY STICKERS Topps artist on demand sketch card samples...

[Coorpse Light]

I feel like I've died and gone to heaven. All of these sketches are beauti... Ugliful! 

[Smokin Joe]

...and me too.

[Sunstroke]

Throwing my hat into the ring

[BumChex]

Outstanding job artists. These are all fantastic. I wish I had some extra cash now but I have to hold out for ANS11.
I'm also having a bit of sketch overload.
One thing that throws me a bit is the B&W's are more appealing than the color. Maybe its the nature of the sketch since ugly's look better with mysterious B&W.

[Jean Nutty]

Boy, lots of these are really nice. I like the images against the black background – that is sharp.

I think they might look interesting under a black light.

[Simko]

Just a couple more weeks left for custom Ugly cards. Then...erased from existence.

[BumChex]

These are so dang cool that I couldn't pass it up. I must have more willpower...LOL
I ordered 4 B&W's. if the colors were in the $150-$200 range I would have got at least one of those also. I think $75 is a sweet spot for B&W but $250 is a bit of an increase to add color. I know more work is involved but it should be about double the price of the B&W. for me anyway.

[Jean Nutty]

I know more work is involved but it should be about double the price of the B&W

I agree.

It would be interesting to know how many of each type they end up selling.

Have these cards been cancelled?  

You can no longer customize your card/artist, only pre-made cards are up on the site. Also, none of said cards appear in your bag if you attempt to order them.

Will existing custom orders still be fulfilled? My order from 8/3 still says "processing" as the order status.

Wow, this is weird

http://entertainment.topps.com/shop-brands/artist-on-demand-store.html

Custom now just means you can add your name to the sketch?

"Pre-Production Sketch Card"?!

...and if you try to buy any of them you cannot leave the Name space blank, nor will they actually be added to your shopping cart. (Sold Out?)
