  2. I have set up my CAF Live galleries.  Here is a link to the preview images.  If you are in the market for a Carol Day strip, this is your chance.  Since the fountain dried up a couple of years ago you never see this many offered at once.  I had more and many of those went quickly in some private sales offered to a very select and limited audience.  I am not pre-selling any of the art so wait until it goes live.

  6. Hi Everyone, I am having one of my one day art sales.  Noon today until noon tomorrow and then the gallery disappears as does the art.  All terms are listed in the gallery description but feel free to email me at monkeyb0y@rogers.com or through CAF mail system.  I am not very good at checking facebook or CGC mail system so don't count on those methods.  A lot of this art has not been seen in 40 years.  First one to email me gets the art without exceptions.  

    Have a great day!

  12. a little late to the topic but thought i'd share my insight.  i have owned about 20 darrow pieces over the years including 4 published pages from hardboiled.  i currently still own one i got in the past year that had been on a friends wall for the 2 decades i have known him. it is in great shape and has not aged despite being framed in an non-archival frame.  i still have 3 other non-hardboiled darrow pieces.

    as far as i know, almost all published darrow art is on vellum.  he works his prelims out on paper and then lightboxes the final images on vellum with either pencil or inks.  that has always been his process.  i have not seen sequential art by darrow in some time so not sure if the individual panels are all done in the prelim stage are on separate paper or on one larger sheet but the pages i have seen have all been on his vellum.  i would like clarify the vellum.  this is not the thin, brittle tracing paper used many decades ago and that is the kind i worry about becoming very yellow and brittle.  the paper geof uses is thinker and i don't think has the same poor archival properties as that tracing paper.  i have owned pieces of darrow art from before hardboiled and he was using thicker vellum even back then.  i am not sure about this onion skin paper people are describing(i know what it is but have not seen it associated with geof)

    if anyone can provide proof of his vellum yellowing, becoming brittle or damaged, i would appreciate seeing some first hand images of this destruction and decay as that has not been my experience and might change how i display his art.

    as to convention offering.  geof uses his same process for convention drawings.  he has a number of pre-drawn images at home and he lightboxes these onto vellum and will combine different elements in different ways to create a new image.  for example you might get totoro and a dog or totoro and monster or whatever he decides.  these are common but back in the day i don't think they were.  the first few times i met geof circa 2005 he brought no original art with him but subsequently i have seen him at over a dozen conventions and he brings a portfolio full of these kinds of drawings.  i remember when he first started to bring these, dealers would buy him out at the opening of the show as there was so much pent up demand for his art and they made quick and profitable flips.  after the first half dozen or so conventions when he started to sell art, the dealers backed off as the supply was no longer limited.  lots of these illustrations make their way on to the secondary market.  andy brown in the UK has (or had) a number of nice, published darrow pieces for sale recently.

    I have a short art sale on.  I have a few art goals to pursue and want to raise some cash.  Several items never offered before, others with reduced prices or being offered for one final time before going back in my collection.  I might be slow to answer emails, I have 2 shifts during the sale and so might be as long as 10 hours between email checks but I will honor emails and requests in the order they come in.  

    Happy Thanksgiving to all my American fellow collectors.

  14. I have decided to raise some money again for a potential purchase.  30 pieces up for sale, many for the first time.  Sale will end at 18:00 on Tuesday so just over 48 hours.  Many of these pieces are being offered for the first (and maybe last time) in 20 years.

  15. I am raising some funds for a potential big purchase.  I have listed a number of pieces in a CAF gallery.  The sale will run for a week or until I raise the desired amount.  Many pieces never offered before and won't likely be offered again.  Some pieces are priced aggressively but they are at prices lower than my normal threshold would be on them to consider an offer.  Take a look if so inclined.  Contact me via CAF or my website, I don't visit the board very often.
