A Crap-ton More Archer Sketch Cards!

I've got another bulk purchase of amazingly awesome Archer Artist Proof Sketch Cards to showcase today. These come courtesy of Clayton McCormack and feature his distinctive and fantastic art. He quickly became one of my favorite artists in the product and his work is represented more than any of the various artists I've collected over the years. A few messages back and forth and we worked out a great deal for both parties!

My favorite sketch of the bunch is easily this depiction of Krieger snorting MSG off of Pam's stomach. I love a unique sketch and after 10 years I've seen almost every scene of note put onto cardboard. Many of the more memorable ones have been crafted by more than one artist. This scene, one of the weirdest and funniest of the entire show, is a first for my eyes and I'm thrilled to add it to the PC.

The episode it references is "Skorpio" -- number 6 in Season 1.

Sketch number two is another addition to my collection of Kriegers. Krieger high on cocaine modding a gun is a super funny scene and it's the second displaying that moment that I've been able to acquire.

The third acquisition is a brand new character and one I've been anxious to see come my way: Seamus! Archer's not actually son drinking some alcohol is the usual Seamus you see -- unless it's Seamus with a tattoo. New members of the ArcherVerse are very hard to come by at this stage in the game.

I somehow don't have a lot of Ray Gillette sketches but I always enjoy finding and snatching them up. I love everything about Ray and this one from Clayton refers to another one of those underutilized show moments. Episode 5 of Season 3 -- "El Contador" -- chronicles three characters needing to flush the recreational drugs out of their system prior to office drug testing. Ray recalls his partying at a club, and this is the result of his mini-flashback:

An oft-drawn part of Season 2's "A Going Concern" (Episode 2) is Pam Poovey after a trip to Jamaica rocking the cornrows and some good weed. As Pam says about herself while enjoying some Mary Jane....she's a real Blob Marley. #RastaPam

Next is a great close-up of Barry Dylan and Other Barry after his cyborg transformation. Pictured in his classic red track suit, I dig the bits of flesh peeled away to reveal the machine below the man.

The final pair from this buy both feature Cheryl Tunt in perhaps her two most common states: being choked during sex and ingesting copious amounts of glue. Any sketch with Carol being choked ranks high in my book for the simple fact that it's a ridiculously hilarious plot point, so seeing it on a licensed trading card is incredible. This is my second McCormack showcasing Cheryl's glue addiction.

I was so happy to see Clayton not only had APs remaining but had 8 as I was under the impression that artists received 6 APs max from Cryptozoic. However, the fun didn't stop there as one more item fell out of the package and surprised me.

A custom card! This beautiful rendering of Sterling Archer himself was completely unexpected and is entirely appreciated. I truly love Clayton's work so this bonus has a permanent and wonderful home with me!

Many thanks again CM!
