DescriptionIt's been a couple of years that I have been trying for an Arthur Adams piece. A while ago, he came to the Netherlands, but I had no luck at that show. Then he was announced for my home show in Belgium, but that was during COVID times, so it didn't happen. At Lake Como last year, his list was full & it didn't work out there either. Then more recently, he was supposed to come to a show in Paris, but couldn't make it in the end.Fast forward to Fan Expo San Francisco in November 2023. Arthur was at the top of my list for Artist Alley, but my main goal was meeting Luke Skywalker. I was there for Mark Hamill & anything extra would be exactly that: extra. Or that's what I told myself. On Friday during the preview evening, I managed to get to his table before queueing for Mark. I was second on Art's list for his commissions - for which he had two options. You could buy a thirty minute or fifteen minute slot. However, Art typically takes his time. Even when you're on his list, there's no guarantee that he'll get to it. That's why you pay when you pick it up. During the show I checked in with him & in the end, I got to pick up my Mary Jane on Sunday morning. Knowing Art's perfectionism, he spent quite a bit more than just half an hour on this. I mean, the piece speaks for itself on that level. I'll be honest: this is even better than I imagined. Especially for the price I paid. She has a great typical Art look. I love the hair lines, encapsulating MJ's face, and that bit of cross-hatching to balance everything out. The cherry here are the earrings, of course. Finally, I have to say that I enjoyed the long chat I had with Art, Joyce & his daughter (who is an amazing entertainer!). This show commission was done in pencils & inks, on 9x12 art board, and was the "30 minute" option. Incredibly grateful that this finally happened! Social/Sharing |

Big congratulations on finally getting your Art Adams piece. Love the Spidey earrings of course, and that alluring side glance.

There's a whole story that you can just link to that glance alone! Thanks so much, Eric! I'm over the moon!

Great shine on her hair! She can probably sell a few bottles of shampoo. I think he took off at one point after the list was full and probably went to his hotel room to get down to some serious drawing.

Ha! I'd like to see that commission idea - MJ in a shampoo commercial! And I think you're spot on.

This is so lovely! From the shimmery hair to the big beautiful eyes to the fun Spidey earrings. You hit the jackpot! But I'm curious...did you get to meet Mark Hamill too?

Perfect quote for a perfect Adams MJ! And yes, I got to meet Luke Skywalker himself, which was a dream come true! He'll always be my very first hero!

Love this. Arthur's new quick sketch options are better than some folks full commission options. It's absolutely mind blowing that he keeps getting better, and better.

It's blasphemous to say, but on some cases, I agree! Addtionally, it's so nice to see Art try to accomodate to as many fans as he can!
