Wait a sec... even mo' VDH! (Dave's weekly update #503)

Hi, Everybody!

Dave's Weekly Update:

And since people are upset by the lack of Cerebus related content in the Weekly Updates:
Friend to the Blog, and STAR of Steve Peters Week 2023, Steve Peters is running the Kickstarter for Tails of Sparky #4 which is going to include this Dave Sim Sparkybus drawing:
in the back.

Dave thinks it could be a Variant Cover...

"Variant Cover? VARIANT COVER?!? VARIANT COVER!?!"
I know Imaginary AMOC Reader who lives Rent-free in my head, I know... "Razafrazzin' Variant Covers..." Which is why I've offered to cover the cost to print up 150 micro prints (basically 8&1/2 by 5.5 inch prints.) which Dave has agreed to sign and number and sent to Steve who would then sign them as well. (If it were MY KS, I'd offer to number them with any number you want, up to 42 digits, for an extra $2. But I'm just the guy funding the deal, not the guy making the deal...) 

Anyway, more on that when we hit "Steve Peters Week 2023" in two to three weeks.

SPEAKING of RAZAFRAZZIN' Variant Covers: I got four of the misprinted glossy blank TMNT #8 covers. I only need one, so I offered the other three up on the Faceybookees:

The deal was, "AMOC Gold VIP members get FIRST dibs on an ORIGINAL "Manly" Matt Dow Glossy Remastered Turtles 8 "sketched/remarqued/f*cked up" formerly blank cover. $50 American. Three available. First come, first cervix! Message me here, or email momentofcerebus@gmail.com.
*Will accept requests* (I might not be able to fulfill them, but I'll certainly accept them...)"

Margaret sent me:
ohhh, I so want one.

Peanutz Ms Liss
Beer
Iguana
Turtles
Cerebus

Do with that what you want.
 Well, there was only one image that came to mind, the Cover to Cerebus #1.

I started with a test on a separate piece of paper:
Pencils.
Inks.
Color.

It looked really damn good.

Then I started on the "nigh impossible to apply ink to" Blank cover:

Yes, it's true. I admit it. I can't draw Cerebus.

I stole a big thick red sharpie from work, and bought a big thick black sharpie. I bought colored sharpies too.

I traced the Cerebus off the back cover of #1:

So, when I scanned it, the color got all screwy: But that pink is very very red. I assure you.
Click for bigger.
Bill bought #2, I haven't started to work on it yet. But there is one more available. $50. American. Email momentofcerebus@gmail.com if you want it. First come, first cervix. (I'm gonna get a bunch of corrected matte covers when they come in. Sketches on those should work a whole lot better.)
