Van Davis Art Thread

vandavisart · 09-16-2013, 07:36 PM

Hi there, guys. I see Tim, Frank and a few others have started their own threads for artwork, and folks seem to like them so I thought I'd follow suit!

I've only been working for the past year or so, and only with Topps, thus far. But, in that time, I've gotten lots of enjoyment from creating art for such awesome properties.

I'll use the first few posts to just post the bulk of what I've done in sketchcards, one per set worked on. From then on, I figure I'll just drop a note to let people know if I'm working on a new set, answer any questions I can and post any auctions I have coming up.

Here's my first Artist's Return from Topps' 2013 Mars Attacks: Invasion set.

I was allowed to keep one blank, due to time constraints; so I can go ahead and post this for sale while I wait for the other five to come back.
