Hey Kids! It's Gumby!

Not exactly manga, but not exactly human either. It's Gumby, kids!!

I picked up this sketch from Arthur Adams at the 2003 Wondercon. He was gracious enough to meticulously pencil then ink this sketch for me. Art's a funny guy too, so while watching him do his magic, it's cool to chit-chat a bit and learn what's new for him. I remember when Gumby's Summer Fun Special comic book came out, as well as the Winter Fun Special comic. Good times.

Some of you may know that Art is a big toy fan. If you see him at the next local convention, bring him some cool Godzilla toys. He'd like that but he might also already have them too. But did you know that Art did the covers for the Masamune Shirow "American" Appleseed comic book in the mid-late 80s. The link is to an Arthur Adams fan site.
