I have that poster too from a '70s ad catalog (can't remember which company ran it). I tried to get Golden to sign it at the Baltimore Con, but he refused to sign anytrhing except at certain times of the day, and then when I came back his "agent/girlfriend/handler" or whatever was arguing with people telling everyone he was too busy drawing to sign books (unless you would agree to buy his art book for $30, then she'd let him sign a couple for you). What a witch, and he was meekly sitting there trying not to make eye contact with anyone.
I did get him to sign a book for me 2 or 3 years ago, but even then he would sign only one book per person. Also I believe under orders from the handler woman.Comment

Always liked Michael Golden. I've got a lot of his comics.

He is one of the few artists I know of that has an agent or a highly visible agent. Her name is Rene Weinstatter,(?). I guess it worked to his benefit because he has had his art in a handful of museum exhibits and he has done art instruction and even has had a video tie-in made from TwoMorrows with his Modern Masters book.
I have been trying to corner him at a Con for since last year to show him my Micronauts Endeavor Model but I either can't make the Con or he cancels when I attend. He is aware of the albums of it on my Facebook Page but I can't be sure he looked them over. He never comments on them. So I have not been exposed to his agent but I assume she will not be happy if I approach the table with a big box and start pulling out models to show him as it will interrupt the flow of paying customers. But if I made 2 complete models to give as gifts, 1 for him and 1 for his agent, maybe I will be welcomed.Last edited by johnmiic; Jan 21, '11, 2:32 PM.Comment

Didn't Golden go to jail at one point during the Micronauts run?"When not too many people can see we're all the same
And because of all their tears,
Their eyes can't hope to see
The beauty that surrounds them
Isn't it a pity".

I never heard about jailtime, but this was a kefluffle a couple years back:

There were apparently four dissatisfied customers, which means there are three other commissions like this one.
There was recently a similar incident with one of Bill Sienkiewicz's commissions. He drew the customer a creature with a rather unusually shaped head.Comment
