[Groop]sketches

[Ruben Arellano]

I also wanted to clarify that I'm totally willing to pay for a sketch if 
the artist is doing it that way.  I've even offered to pay when the 
artist was doing them for free.  However, all I'm usually really looking 
for is an autograph (you know, that vain "I met a famous person" 
mentality), and if the artist wants to do a little sketch of Yoda or 
Wonder Woman, then all the better.  I've found that usually the 
up-n-comers are more willing to do a free sketch as a promotional type 
thing, and that few artists of Sergio's caliber/fame are willing to do 
sketches (free or otherwise).
