Each week we search the Internet for the best comic book art that will never appear in actual comics. The reason they won't is because artists often post sketches for fun and commissions on their blogs, websites and Tumblrs. Some even pre-arrange commissions or sell art online so be sure to check out their sites for more info and con schedules.
Last weekend was C2E2 in Chicago. Many of this week's artists were there drawing away. Skottie Young posted a few sketches on his site and @WaddlyHobbins even sent a scan of the commission he got of Punisher.
Tony Daniel also was at C2E2. He posted a couple sketch covers on his Instagram but these are from Emerald City.
Khary Randolph took part in the Mystery Art Challenge. You'll see that at the end but check out his C2E2 sketches posted on his Tumblr.
Agnes Garbowska did the Art Challenge as well. Here's some sketches she posted on her Tumblr.
Peter Nguyen also did the Challenge. I posted some of his C2E2 sketches last week but here's another he posted on his Tumblr.
Guess what? Michael Walsh also did the Challenge. Here's a couple sketches he posted on his Tumblr this week.
Ryan Stegman did a bunch of sketches at C2E2 and posted them on his Tumblr. No surprise, a lot of them were Spider-Man.
Chris Giarrusso posts fan art every week on his website but this week it was a little different. Check out the G-Man vs. Invincible sketch Ryan Ottley did.
Check out what Paolo Rivera posted on his blog this week. His Iron Man 3 poster is really something.

Mystery Art Challenge
The challenge this time was Superman...and a hat. Once they agree to take the challenge and be filmed, they are told what the challenge is. They don't have any idea who or what the challenge will involve. It's always fun to see what they come up with. For this challenge, our contestants were Peter Nguyen, Chris Giarrusso, Khary Randolph, Michael Walsh and Agnes Garbowska.
Here's the video from our YouTube channel:
You can check out the comments on our page HERE when it was posted earlier this week.
Here's scans of the actual sketches:
That's it for this week. We'll look for some more for next time.
