Wow, I hope Tradd won't mind the comparison but his art seems to be a symphonic psychadelic music we want to immerse into (and sorry for the clumbsy english if it makes no sence)
Ron Lim

@Dan T... me too!
Rob R

Who will be coloring this?
Felix Lu
1:20
@David Blumer...Tamara Bonvillain colored it!
Carl Choi

@Tradd ripping from your comment about Wolverine and X-Men, if you were to time-travel, which Wolverine VS. ??? cover would you wish you had the chance to have attacked?
Michel Melki
1:21
@Carl Choi Sup bro!
David Blumer
1:22
@Felix  whew!  That needs a talented colorer!!
David S
1:22
WOW! I'm going to have to pick up that issue of ASM ASAP!!!
Felix Lu
1:23
@David S...it's got a killer cover by Ryan Ottley, who also did a great story for it, too! It's a mega-sized special event issue, tons of stories in it. Sold out, so you'll have to do some digging!
Tariq

@Felix, Thanks for sharing the amazing ASM pages from Tradd!
Tradd
1:25
@Carl Choi - Ha, I love this one! 4 off the top of my head that I LOVED in my youth - Wolverine and Nightcrawler VS Cyber (original by Adam Kubert), Wolverine Vs Omega Red (original by Jim Lee), Wolverine and Rogue Vs Sauron (by Dwayne Turner), Wolverine Vs A pack of dogs (also by Dwayne Turner)!
Felix Lu

OK everyone...last question for Tradd coming up...I told him we'd be doing this for an hour, and we've blown way past that! Sorry to those whose questions he couldn't get to, but we'll have him back on again!
Pat L

@Tradd - the level of detail in your pieces is unparalleled.  What's your typical starting process?  how detailed are your pencils/roughs?
Mike Cichy
1:27
Hi Felix, hi Tradd
Felix Lu
1:28
Hey Mike! You can get caught up with the transcript...plus, we've shared a bunch of crazy Tradd art you'll want to see!
David S
1:29
Finding a copy of  sold-out ASM #850 will be much easier than finding available original comic art by Tradd :)
Mike Cichy
1:29
@Felix, I definitely will check it all out. Tradd is an amazing and unique talent.
Felix Lu

Hi Felix and Tradd!  Happy Wild Card Sunday!
Mike Cichy

If there is anyone that could beat Paul Pope right now, my money would be on Tradd.
David Blumer
1:31
These auctions have been incredible to watch.  Can't believe I got mine so cheap though!
Felix Lu
1:32
@David Blumer...I'm happy for all winners! We appreciate ALL bids and wish good luck to everyone!

@Felix, Thanks for everything you’re doing to fight cancer through the Lu Family Fund. Can’t think of a better cause to donate to!
Felix Lu
1:33
Thank you, Dr. Tariq! And thanks for all you're doing with immunotherapy! (Yes, everyone, we have a world-class oncology researcher in the house! Who's also an OA nut like the rest of us!)
Tradd
1:33
@Pat L - Thanks, Pat! I start by sketching small thumbnails on 8.5x11 computer paper. If they're super loose, which they most often are, I'll take that idea and start from scratch on the big paper using the sketch as my guideline, pencil it, then ink it! However, sometimes I'll take the small sketch further if I'm really connecting with it. In those cases, I'll take that sketch, scan it, print it out and transfer it to the big page, then ink over that. Hope that makes sense!
Pat L
1:33
Congratulations!  that's amazing - sure it will go higher too!
Ron Lim
1:33
@Felix, when do the auction pieces go out? Won one in November (I think)
Felix Lu
1:34
Hi Ron...soon! As soon as this last auction ends! You'll be hearing from me shortly!
Riley Till

Thanks Felix for hosting and Tradd for being here.
Felix Lu
1:34
Hi Riley...sorry couldn't get to your question!
1:35
But thanks for joining!
Tradd
1:35
Thanks so much, everybody! This was fun! Really appreciate your interest and support! Can't wait to go back through the transcript to see what all I missed :)
Felix Lu
1:35
THANKS AGAIN TRADD! For everything!
