Thanks. He does excellent work. Thanks, I'm a classy guy (yeah, it may be low class, but ...)

A cabinet maker made this for my wife to give to me as a birthday present. It works great. It wasn't too expensive for handwork, but not $30 either.

Me? I'd say a couple of hundred each at the most. Remember, my opinion is worth what you paid for it.

Yale's work is wonderful. Congrats!

When Walt does a full scale, commission class drawing for charity (about the only place to get one), it will start at $2500 and go up from there. His con sketches tend to be fast and simple and resell in the low hundreds of dollars these days. When Walt does con sketches, e.g., at Baltimore, they are free. Remarqued items (sketches in the his books) tend to be nicer and on rare occasions can be exceptional, but I haven't seen them sell in high 3 figures much less low four figures. I think your $1000+ is more than most will pay. They are nice sketches, but ... Here are my con sketches - all were free when done. I bought the Thor one off eBay for $26 in 2005. Prices have gone up, but not 40x. Here are my remarques. They were done at home as LCS incentives for Vols 1 & 2 of the Ragnarök HCs. Click to enlarge and learn more. Finally, here are the commissions: Odin is mine, Maleficent is Kathy's. They were part of the 2017 IDW dinner and were greatly under priced. Here are some commissions that I seem to remember being sold to raise money to help other folks. None are mine, click image to see it in the CAF.

Done and thanks!

Added. Thanks!

Fixed. Thanks!

Added @Phill the Governor's partially rebuilt The Walking Dead #48.

Another correction on Brian's UXM 308.

@Brian Peck told me that he had a theme that I had missed - A Dark and Stormy Night. I think you might enjoy my writeup. He also pointed out that I had a music theme of his in the wrong place (moved now) and that he is missing only one page from Uncanny X-Men 308 (description updated).

I'm happy for Jim. Everyone should charge what the market can bear for their efforts. If I think it's more than I can afford, that's fine by me. Go Jim!

Added @Dr. Balls Iron Maiden Killer album cover tributes. And fixed a link to an earlier edition.

@Dr. Balls, do you have these posted somewhere? I maintain a list of Themed Comic Art Collections and would like to add this one.

Geof is amazing.

Wow!

Another day, another posting! ---- The squandering continues. Will I ever stop? Doubt it. Sorry, girls! In addition to the faux S&S cover, the 3 pages from Wonder City, the Blue Beetle sketch, and the S&S refrigerator magnet, I also picked up a sketch from Sandy Jarrell in my "Artist's Choice and Why" sketch book. Sandy did a nice job with his choice and I suspect many Legion fans have felt the same way.

And that isn't all either, I picked up this Sugar and Spike mini-painting / refrigerator magnet from Laura Martin. It's lovely.

Of course the faux S&S cover I posted earlier and the Wonder City pages I posted just now were not the sum total of my HeroesCon expenditures. I was able to get a Blue Beetle (Jaime Reyes) drawing in my sketchbook from Cully Hamner, the co-creator/artist for this Blue Beetle - the third one. Click to learn more:

I saw a very interesting painting on a stand at HeroesCon. It was appeared to be a plein-air painting painting of a Mediterranean Sea port with a large fishing boat being the most prominent item. I thought to myself, this is an odd piece for a comic book convention. I got closer and then I saw Popeye boarding the boat and Olive, Swee'Pea, and Jeep at the bow and Bluto in a chair by the cabin. It was awesome. It was the auction piece from Jared Cullum. Jared is the writer/artist of the Eisner nominated (twice) and Reuben Award winning Kodi and the artist on the more recent Wonder City. Jared had Wonder City art at his table - basically the entire book - and it was lovely. I bought a three page sequence plus the Kodi and Wonder City books. I'm glad that I did. Oh, that paining I saw sold in the HeroesCon auction for $3500. Here's the sequence I bought. In it, Alex (the younger sister) and Lizzy are having a disagreement about how to handle a bad situation when Alex drops her bat and raises the dead (okay, they were already raised). Next they are surrounded back to back in a classic pose. Next page, the calvary arrives in the form of some frenemies. I love it. I hope you do.

FWIW, everything I know on this topic is in the hidden text of the first post on this thread: Pricing Comic Art

Rich Seetoo colored a Mike Grell Green Arrow piece and asked if anyone had a Grell Warlord that he might color. As it happens, I have a Warlord that I thought might fit the bill. He agreed. A few days later, this showed up. Click the image to see the before and after and read a bit more about it.

News to me. I've always been told that the reason you don't see a lot of manga artwork is that the publishers kept it. That could be true and it could have been destroyed by them.
