Nico, I'd be happy to do it, but I don't recognize the art or artists (typical of a US comic reader, I guess) so I feel that I would distort the survey. If I'm wrong, let me know and I'll give it a shot.

One of the first things that I did. Yep, I miss out on lots of interesting art, but it's dead to me anyway so ... -
Moving A Collection Coast To Coast (U.S.)
alxjhnsn replied to dichotomy's topic in Original Comic Art
You might want to consider Collectibles Insurance. Among other things, they cover art in transit and that's not easy coverage to find. -
Moving A Collection Coast To Coast (U.S.)
alxjhnsn replied to dichotomy's topic in Original Comic Art
Been there. Done that. Not recommended. -
To additions to my daughter's collection: JL8 207 which features an homage to a famous scene from DKR by Frank Miller The (Not So) Wicked Witch of the West by Marcus Cardenas-Rocco The former is a house warming gift to her. The latter a piece she bought at Comicpalooza that we recently uncovered. Click to embiggen:

It hurts to have lived that story.

Nope. I'm pretty sure it was trashed by the cleaning crew. Full story here if you would like to read it.

Yeah, not the brightest move, but it doesn't compare to leaving a piece at the airport gate and realizing it 2hrs into the flight. That was really dumb and I did it.

What is your favorite "inexpensive" page you own and why?
alxjhnsn replied to batman_fan's topic in Original Comic Art
I'd say this one: Why? Well, it was the cover to the very first comic that I ever bought my daughters. $180, IIRC, on a ComicLink auction. Never thought I'd find it, much less buy it for cheap. Click the image and read the full story, it's worth the visit. -
I seldom buy old comics though I picked up an All-American #6. However, I do have a pull list. It’s a bit long so I put it spoiler tags.

Amethyst, Modred the Mystic etc [Original Comic Art]
alxjhnsn replied to Bart Allen's topic in Original Comic Art
Aaron's pricing is pretty much to market. It may not be in your wheelhouse, but he has a good feel for what his work will bring. Of course, you can always make him an offer. -
Amethyst, Modred the Mystic etc [Original Comic Art]
alxjhnsn replied to Bart Allen's topic in Original Comic Art
Yes, it's a color guide. The seller calls it that in the title. As for whether or not it is "original art," I'd say, "Yes, someone hand painted it." As for wheter or not it is worth buying, I'd say, "If you enjoy it, yes. If you expect it to appreciate like the pages that were drawn and inked by hand, I'd say no." -
Amethyst, Modred the Mystic etc [Original Comic Art]
alxjhnsn replied to Bart Allen's topic in Original Comic Art
You can find Ernie Colon's original designs for Amethyst on the CAF in Ravenface, S. gallery. If you haven't already done so, search the CAF for Amethyst and you'll find a lot of art from the various series. I suspect that the same is true for Mordred the Magican. -
Posting the artwork would help with identification of the signature.

Yes, markers can fade and change colors. Black will turn bluish and fade. When questions about value come up, I take the "teach a man to fish" approach. Since I post this write-up often and since it is long, I've put it in spoiler tags. If desired, you can PM your email address to me and I'll send it right along.

WTB - Scribbly Panel Page by Sheldon Mayer
alxjhnsn replied to alxjhnsn's topic in Original Comic Art Marketplace
Well, that was fun. Four Scribbly pages were placed for sale by Lanney Mayer, Sheldon's son, in the Nate D. Sanders Auction. I bid enough to compete, but I lost. Frankly, I think they'd have raised more money selling the four pages as four lots rather than one. Sigh... Here are those pages for your viewing pleasure. Final price for the four? Final price including buyers premium.: $29,845 plus State Sales Tax and Shipping I'm still looking. -
Your favorite aspect or two of a given artist's style

All of that plus his people. The average people in his stories are fascinating espcially those from the swamp or rural areas. -

Your favorite aspect or two of a given artist's style
alxjhnsn replied to exitmusicblue's topic in Original Comic Art
Curt Swan for his expressions and how well they reproduced even in poorly printed comics. I also admired that he knew teenage proportions are not the same as adult ones so his LSH looked like teens and I admired his ability to drape the fabric of clothing. -

Warned you. As for the baseball bats, significant others usually do that.
