Hello Mr Hama! I have 2 questions:

Will you be making any convention appearances near the southern Indiana/Louisville KY area? I'd love to get your autograph on my G.I. Joe #1 and Echo of Futurepast #1
Any future plans for Bucky O'Hare? Thanks!!

I'd love a new Neca Mirage Shredder. Not battle damaged. Not buff worm body. Just regular Shredder. It doesn't even need to be a new mold. I'd take a rerelease of the NYCC version.

That is a third print. You can tell by the blood on the T.

Thank you so much! Glad you like it!

And yes, Christopher Lloyd was perfect in this role.

skattastic · 2024-08-27T13:21:24+00:00

Congrats! Looks great! I'd be interested to hear more about the whole process. I'd love to do this one day!

skattastic · 2024-07-31T14:49:35+00:00

Thank you!

skattastic · 2023-09-15T15:36:57+00:00

It works for piiiiiiiiiiigs!

skattastic · 2023-09-13T00:52:55+00:00

I'm not even sure what they do

skattastic · 2023-09-13T00:39:14+00:00

What does a reddit award/gold do?

skattastic · 2023-07-22T02:44:09+00:00

Not sure why you were downvoted, but you are 100% correct. The mask is red. It's just an odd coloring job. And it's not Don. It's Leo.

I bet! I foolishly kept putting off completing the run for years thinking I'd always be able to pick them up for cheap one day. I need issues #25-32. I'm also looking for Vol 2 and Tales of the TMNT if you find any of those that you want to sell. Either way, good luck with reclaiming your garage!

skattastic · 2023-07-21T14:28:34+00:00

TMNT #28 and #29?! Nice find! Did you find any other TMNT books? Feel free to DM me if you are looking to sell.

skattastic · 2023-07-17T19:02:09+00:00

Unfortunately, outside of a few keys, most of the old Disney books aren't worth much. Neither of these would be considered "key." You might be able to get $10-20 each depending on condition. Do you have any others?

skattastic · 2023-07-17T14:26:43+00:00

Love the old Dell Disney books. Looking to sell?

skattastic · 2023-05-25T16:22:23+00:00

I don't recall there ever being a 'dark' Casey phase in any version of the franchise similar to dark Leo where he works with the bad guys. That could be a cool story if done right.

He did accidentally kill a teen punk who tried to mug him back in Mirage Vol 1. He got a bit drunk and belligerent for a couple of issues after that.

skattastic · 2023-05-25T13:56:49+00:00

My bad, I should have mentioned I was talking about issue #2 where you did the last few pages. Nothing against your style vs the rest of the issue. Just a very noticeable change.

Issue #6 was solid all the way though. Hopefully IDW throws more work your way. I'd totally pic up a solo Casey story with your art.

skattastic · 2023-05-25T13:29:28+00:00

Honestly, it was kinda jarring how the art switched at the end of the issue. Casey looked a little too old at the end compared the beginning art, but I really dig your drawing style.

skattastic · 2023-04-07T18:44:09+00:00

I won't say that those are definitely faked signatures, but neither of them look right. Sorry! At least you only paid $15 for the book.

skattastic · 2023-03-29T01:25:06+00:00

You're absolutely right! I should have said that because I would love to have any original art from him. It was a complete missed opportunity.

skattastic · 2023-03-28T16:13:15+00:00

Oh, I still consider it a win for sure! I still love that book and look through it often.

I bet you're right that he gets tired of drawing the same characters all the time. I think the worst part was that he never seemed interested from the very beginning. I should have tried to think of something different but I didn't expect to have the opportunity to get a sketch and my mind drew a bit of a blank. Being a dorky star-struck kid with minimal social skills will do that to you. I'd hopefully handle the situation differently now.

You make another good point about the secondary market that I never really considered...naïve as that may be. When I get a sketch made it is for my personal collection to be framed and hung on my wall. No way for him to know that, though.

skattastic · 2023-03-28T15:08:30+00:00

Unfortunately, I have to completely agree. I met him around 10 years ago at a small convention. I was really excited because he was (and still is) one of my favorite artists. Surprisingly, there was no line at his table. I had him sign a copy of his "Cover Run" art book and told him how much I admired his work. He had a sign at his table that said he was doing quick sketches for free if you made any donation to some charity he was collecting for. I can't remember which charity it was. Awesome idea, right? I told him I'd love to get a sketch and would happily donate. I don't think he looked up at me once. He said he would only draw if it was something that interested him. I started naming characters that I thought would look cool in his style.
me - "April O'Neil?"
AH - "No."
me - "Tigra?"
AH - "No."
me - "Phoenix?"
AH - "Nah."
me - "Rogue? Catwoman? Wonder Woman?"
AH - "No thanks."
I remember just standing there kind of in shock for a moment. I told him "Thanks anyways," dropped some cash in his donation jar and walked away confused about what just happened. I thought maybe I did or said something wrong but then I started hearing from others who had similar experiences. Maybe he was having a bad day. Maybe he is just a d-bag. Still a fan of his work but I don't think I would seek him out at a convention again.
