Super-crappy news for all the AH! fans out there. AH! seem to be calling it quits in regard to con-sketches. After years of having his con sketches flipped on eBay, the straw that broke the camel's back arrived this past weekend at a Boston Comic Con in the form of a eBay flipper pretending to be a genuine fan ceaselessly begging for a sketch. Needless to say, the sketch was on eBay 24 hours later.

What a revolting development.

I saw that on Twitter last night. It's a shame, but I understand him not wanting to do it anymore if it's just gonna be thrown right up on eBay.

@The Dark Huntress: Agreed. His sketches sell on eBay for 4 to 10 times as much as he charges at a con. I think the only reason he did it so long was because of the (real) fans.

@satanmode: It just takes all the niceness out of the gesture. I mean, sure he charges, but what he does is truly a piece of art and he's obviously charging only a fraction of what it's worth. People abusing that must be so disheartening. Which sucks, because he seems like a genuinely really nice guy.
