It's definitely a little fuzzy for a hi-res scan. It's strange though because the signature looks fairly sharp.

I'd still love to see a good scan of Crispux.

Here's my interpretation of what the scan might look like, but I probably have the colors and values all wrong.

take a look at the framed and matted Stake 5 Art.

Looks great!

I just scanned it again and used Photoshop to adjust pretty close to the original.

That looks really nice! I like that red outline in the matting.

He does a pretty decent job on lettering which I feel could be a total bitch job. I can't image how painstakingly of a job. The breakaway on the top could be better but overall I love it. I only wanted it for the hockey player. I thought he did a fantastic job with the character. overall I'm very pleased!

With this good scan I have a lot more appreciation for the character. I wish it didn't look so murky on the sticker. It reminds me of the Homer Simpson character from that other parody series. I think the gag was Krusty Donuts.

Not sure where to post this really, but I figure this is a decent spot. I have a friend whose last name is Bonami, so I did this painting for him for Christmas. It's an 11"x14" gouache on board. It was fun to redo a Saunders, and while I see a lot of things I wish I did differently (I was not used to doing washes at that size) I am pretty happy with the result. I though y'all might like to see it.

Very Cool! Thanks for posting!

I've always loved the character in Bone Ami. Awesome job!

If that is your first crack at replicating the "great one" you did very well!

Sunstroke · « **Reply #188 on:** January 10, 2011, 07:55:46 AM »

Thanks guys! I think If I do another I am going to do it 5"x7" so I can lay down large areas of color better.

I wanted to bring attention to this remarkable sketch card that just hit ebay. It's very nice work but what I like most about it is it's originality. Wacky Packages should mass produce cards like this for it's base set or as a subset. Every Wacky collector should be able to add this one to his collection.

Plan 9 · « **Reply #190 on:** January 17, 2011, 01:03:15 AM »

Spread Bull originally sold for over $1600. Now only a few months later it goes back up on ebay and sells for just $565 and it included a gold border sticker! The auction might have done a little better if it wasn't listed the same week as 8 other Toppsvault pieces and if it had been a scan instead of a murky photo.

I noticed this last night, someone bid on it immediately. Awesome piece! A whole set of these would be amazing!

That's a terrific card. Cool that Brent incorporated and transcended the printed red border.

What's the story with this one? I haven't seen this sticker yet. Was it published? Topps just listed it on ebay claiming it's from series 7 and they don't say anything about it being a non-published gag.

That's the first I've seen or heard of it. That looks like Neil's signature.

Gurgle · « **Reply #198 on:** January 17, 2011, 10:32:21 PM »

I like it. They should have saved it for Series 8.

This was approved for ANS7. But there was a big issue is with the spelling. "Tenticle" should have read "Tentacle". Wouldn't have been so bad if it had only appeared once, but it shows up in the title and on the cap several times. My fault completely. Mark Stepper did an amazing job on the concept (and actually spelled "Tentacle correctly!). My apologies go out to him for the gaffe! But I'm told Topps still wants to publish it in book format. It's going to be called, "Why Can't Wacky Artists Spel?"

Whew, and I'm relieved the "n" didn't accidentally morph into an "s"

I had been wondering why Topps didn't mind the Seagerms title with the incorrect spelling of chloroplast. Guess the one appearance was OK.

Hey Neil...no worries...you did a FANTASTIC job with the OCT painting! Come to think of it, there were 5 comments on OCT before yours and not a single mention of the spelling error...hmmm...perhaps Topps could have gotten away with it $:-\$

Crust · « **Reply #205 on:** January 18, 2011, 01:36:35 PM »

On ebay there is some supposed series 7 lost wacky original art. I have never heard of this card. The cards is called "Oct" tell me what you guys know.

Dracky · « **Reply #206 on:** January 18, 2011, 02:09:10 PM »

Hey there...I can shed some light on OCT. I wrote the concept and Neil created the painting. It was approved by Topps for ANS7 but due to a spelling issue...Tentacle was spelled Tenticle...the gag was pulled. I'm not sure if Topps has any future plans to publish this concept. If you go to the Wacky Art thread you'll see Neil's explanation on OCT. Hope that helps!

Crust · « **Reply #207 on:** January 18, 2011, 02:53:49 PM »

I had the same thoughts of it being a lost wacky. I posted the question on the main forum. It was nice, but hey another title for the all lost wackys set we talked about!

Sparker is a Lost Wacky now. They won't use it. They pulled it due to excessive violence (they don't like the idea of a pyromaniac and burning down the family house). Here is the pic:

Dude that is funny...LOVE IT...screw those PC Topps faggits..hopefully they will auction it off - it would have been a bit funnier with people hanging out the window....a bit more Wacky!!

slamjim · « **Reply #209 on:** January 18, 2011, 04:39:09 PM »

This would have been an easy Photoshop fix. I wonder why they just didn't do that?
