A friend of mine sent along this sketch card recently. Don’t you love nice surprises?
Being a novice to the whole sketch card thing, I am unsure of a lot of things, but here’s what I’ve deduced thus far:
- The sketch seems to be from artist Carly Monardo (granted, the big “Carly” on the bottom of the card was a giveaway).
- It’s not part of a card set, and, judging from the type of card used (the back is blank), it must have been hand-drawn by the artist at a show.
However, I have no idea of the following:
- What’s the “Hero” logo in the bottom right corner? A brand? The name of the show?
- Who is the subject of the sketch?
- When was it drawn?
- Where?
If anyone can answer some of the questions for me, I would appreciate the knowledge.
Comment below so we all can know. (Hey … maybe that’ll be my new mantra …)

The Hero logo is for the Hero Initiative, an industry organization that provides financial relief to artists. I’m not sure about the subject, though…
a-HA! And the mystery gets clearer!
Thanks TC!
The character looks similar to Vash the Stampede to me. However, he does not have glasses on.
Also, according to Carly’s site http://whirringblender.blogspot.com/ , she does some character combinations so this could be a combination of different characters?
Hope it helps.
Thanks for checking things out for me … the info is getting a little clearer, though I haven’t found a definite smoking gun. I’ll write up an update tomorrow …
Thanks for commenting!
