Note: I will update this post on the thread with new galleries as they noted in the comments or other input. This post will always have the latest.

-----

Below is the latest list of known Themed Art Collections. It is not exhaustive, but there are a lot of great collections to visit. The only real rule is that the theme be in a gallery. If a theme is scattered across multiple galleries, I won't post the link because it’s too hard to see the theme. Sorry about that. Otherwise, assuming it’s not illegal, immoral, or hate filled (my judgement), I'm going to list it.

I grouped these by source of inspiration as follows: 

• Concepts - The idea dominates the contents
• Cover and Panel Page Recreations
• Historical or Historical Fiction - The era or event dominates the contents
• Jams – Various artists combining to create the commission piece
• Literature - Non-comic literature drives the contents
• Movies and Actors - Cinema and those that create it drive the contents
• Music and Musicians
• Single Characters
• Re-assembled Books or Book Sections
• Teams and Team-Ups

If anyone can suggest better categorizations or just doesn't like where something is let me know and I'll work on it.

Also, where possible, I used real names (first and last). If anyone objects, please let me know.

BTW, it is sheer chance that my gallery comes up first, really! 

Concept Based

Alex Johnson’s Artists & Main Characters - http://cafurl.com?i=25626
My collection consists of the artists and characters combinations that I’ve enjoyed the most over the years. Things like: Cardy/Bat Lash, Cardy/Teen Titans, Kubert/Hawkman, Kubert/Sgt. Rock, Mayer/Sugar & Spike, Parent – Archie, Swan/Legion, Swan/Superman, Woggon/Katy Keene, Zahler/Love and Capes. You get the drift.

Alex Johnson's Arm Wrestling with Heroes - http://cafurl.com?i=23486
I really dislike pin-up images in my collection to such an extent that I needed an idea that I could reuse when commissioning people when I don't have a better idea.  This one came to me when J. Scott Campbell came to my LCS (Bedrock City Comic Company in Houston) and was willing to take commissions for delivery when he showed up. I couldn't think of a good idea and blew it off.  Later, it occurred to me that Caitlin from Gen13 arm-wrestling with the Silver Age Supergirl would have been fun. That led to this theme.

Alex Johnson's Sugar and Spike #100 Covers - http://cafurl.com?i=24453
Sheldon Mayer's S&S is a marvel, but due to eye problems he had to stop with issue 98. Later, DC did a 99th issue reprinting stories that he did for outside the US once his eyes were healed. However, there's never been a 100th issue. While waiting for it, I'm creating the variant covers. 

Alex Johnson's Legion of Super-Heroes commissions - http://cafurl.com?i=25625
The LSH is my favorite team and it's relatively easy to think of commission ideas with such a large crew.

Andrew Rosenbarger's (Stray Toaster Project's) Stray Toasters - https://www.facebook.com/straytoastersproject
To quote the page's proprietor - "Stray Toasters are little doodles you create to refocus and balance yourself against the world.  Why a toaster? Because toasters are easy to draw and make tasty comfort food. And its namesake is from one of my favorite comic creators of all time." I can think of nothing of value to add.

Anthony Carpenter’s Poster Wall - https://web.archive.org/web/20170701191903/http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=8882
This is based on the famous Uncanny X-Men #141 (Days of Future Past) Cover. Anthony has sold most of these so I'm referring to a Wayback Machine's version where you can see many of them. Look for the "Poster Wall" galleries.

Art Shotten's Captain America 248 by ... - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryRoom.asp?GSub=85681

A culinary twist in every one. Brian’s cooking up something good to see.

Joshua McCoy's Iron Throne collection - 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020
Josh says, "Inspired by my love for the Song of Ice and Fire series of novels, the "Iron" Throne was a concept I shared with artist Scott West. He then designed and drew a brilliant piece featuring the Mandarin sitting on the throne. Not content to leave well enough alone, I thought it would be fun for other Marvel heroes and villains to lay claim to the throne."

John Nacinovich's The Search for Superman - https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=173439
Superman has been taken. No one is sure where he is, or who is behind this kidnapping. The call has gone out through the multiverse for assistance in the Search for Superman. However, Superman is not a model prisoner and has engineered numerous escape attempts. During his brief moments of freedom he has been able to leave a sign that he was in that place (or time) in the hope that his allies will be able to use the information and track him down. His unknown captors continue to transport him across multiple dimensions to keep him hidden while seeking a way to destroy him once and for all. There are also forces battling against Superman's allies in an attempt to ensure that Superman is never located. The search is on and these pieces will tell the story.

Philip D. Anderson’s Angels sketchbook - https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=8416
Philip wrote, “There are a few non angel pieces towards the beginning since it wasn’t really designed to have an angel theme.  When Gene Ha did his angel piece, he said he did it because it looked like I had an angel theme going.  I decided to run with it.”
 
Philip D. Anderson’s Monkey’s & Apes sketchbook - https://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=8413
Philip wrote, I wanted to start a theme book & Mark Schultz was starting the mythology themed book for me, but I knew that would take a while.  So, I decided a second themed sketchbook was in order & that all artists seemed to like drawing apes & moneys.  I didn’t know it at the time, but monkeys were a symbol for artists during the renaissance.  Jeff Parker killed it with the opening page.”

Even if the owner isn't interested in selling it, I'd love to at least know it exists and where it is. The last acquisition had been in the hands of a comic shop owner in Oregon for years, and had been glued to the back of a piece of fiberboard.”

What are Blue lines? 

The term blue line means one of the following:

1. Computer pencils printed out in cyan so that the inker can ink on a board. The "penciler" would draw on a tablet directly and no physical "pencils" would exist.
2. Scanned pencils printed out in cyan so that the inker can ink on a board without the penciler sending a board through the mail which is expensive and risky.
3. Pencils done in using a blue pencil on a board upon which the inker placed his ink.

Few people would call the third definition a "blue line," but you might see "blue pencil" in a description. The first two definitions are much more common.

Examples:

I don't have an example where the pencils exist only as a computer image (definition 1). Sorry.

This figure is an example of the second definition. Daniel HDR did the physical pencils. Those pencils were scanned and sent to Bob Wiacek. Bob printed them on a board in cyan and then applied his india ink on top of those pencils. If you click the image, you will see a bigger scan and you will be able to read more about them. You should note that Daniel actually inked the faces to ensure consistency of look. Also, look at Phantom Girl's waist in the second panel. Bob thought she needed to lose a little weight - Moral: Inker always wins.

This figure shows the case where the artist draws in blue pencil on the board (definition 3, sadly the artist forgot to scan the pencils for the third page)

Here are the inks on those same boards.

If you click the images, you will see the final piece and learn more about it.

In this instance the art has blue lines, it is being called original but looks like a computer print out of the art that the artist goes over and finishes?

The inked page is what is printed. It is the original comic art for that page of the comic. If there are no physical pencils (definition 1 above) then this is the only original art for that page.

1 hour ago, paul747 said:

if it is called original "published art" what stops them from going over blue lines again on another piece?

Nothing.

A couple of comments:

• There's a thread on the board about "monoprints," i.e., a unique, one-time printout of digital art. In that discussion, you will find that very question discussed.
  • BTW, using the art term monoprint this way is incorrect. A true monoprint is unique and cannot be reproduced, e.g., if it's a lithograph, the stone would be broken after the single print. Clearly, a one-time print of electronic art can be recreated exactly. We need a different term.
• It would be very difficult to exactly match the first ink job on the pencils though you might have to be an expert to see the differences
