Kyle Baker - cartoonist, comic book writer-artist and animator, known for his graphic novels (Why I hate Saturn) and for the 2000s revival of the TV Series Plastic Man. HIs influences were Jack Kirby, Norman Rockwell and Jack Davis. He also spent a lot off time reading the newspaper strips, which included Peanuts, Li'l Abner, Pogo and Blondie.
My original thought was to ask for a Plastic Man sketch, but then I came across a Star Wars card featuring Baker's art. The back of the card had a "Charlie Brown" style portrait. That's when I decided to request a Charlie Brown style sketch of any super hero he wanted to choose. When I returned to pick up my sketch, I was handed a Charlie Brown Deadpool with a Spider-Man Woodstock.
Kyle also adds an imprint of his Quality Jollity logo in the lower corner
