June 27, 2010 Head sketch auction III

You'll recall, I hope, the "Seasons of the Aardvark" 4-parter that Dave did in response to my 4 requests in the last "head sketch" auction.



Last Friday, Dave offered to auction 20 more of the "head sketch" pieces. Actually, not really an auction. It was buy-it-now at the new, higher price of $35 each (up from $25).

And some rat bastard asked for 16 of the 20.

(update: Dave added 16 more to the auction... Head Sketch III.5 now underway)

Oh wait, that was me!

So, what did I ask for?

"Ages of the Aardvark"

Using this timeline as my guide:

As the long-time astute will recall, this sort of series is what I had in mind as a set of commissions from Dave and Ger before the A-V break-up, and which in turn grew into the absolutely fabulous "World Without Cerebus" series that Ger and I are doing (give it time, folks, Estarcion was not built in a day).
