Heritage September 2022 comic and art auction
RabidFerret replied to drdonaldblake1's topic in Original Comic Art
One small tweak here - Jim Lee copied Whilce Portacio, not the other way around. When Jim was breaking in he was lifting his style from everyone like a sponge, including studio-mate Whilce. There are plenty of Jim Lee clones out there, but Whilce should not be grouped in among them. -
Howdy gang! I'm looking for a decent Scott McDaniel page from Batman 579, ideally with Orca. Will pay top dollar. Please ping me if you're considering selling

Jan Heritage Auction putting up some nice artwork
RabidFerret replied to batman_fan's topic in Original Comic Art
This reminds me of when the ASM328 cover sold a decade ago. Crazy price, the market moved, but...we haven't seen a $600k McSpidey since. Does anyone actually know if it was bought by a fan vs investor? Spending 4-5x the hobby high does not seem like you'll be making a profit anytime soon, but I could totally see fans going not_in_tune_with_social_norms crazy like this -
Those are for original paintings! Actually very affordable prices for finished Struzan art:)

The trick is to ADD to your collection with a wonderful original! https://galacticgallery.com/franklin-mint-plates

ART DAY - Movie Poster original paintings!
RabidFerret replied to Terry Doyle's topic in Original Comic Art
A very surreal new Drew Struzan art day for me:) His original submitted painting for Back to the Future 3!!! Robert Zemekis and Bob Gale were undecided and asked for so many changes - day to night, changing Marty's costume (twice), flame trails - that Drew decided it was easier to paint a second piece:) That second piece later added Mary Steenburgen and became the poster everyone knows. This piece, the first version, stayed untouched, exactly as Drew originally submitted it. I'm on cloud nine about this one:) https://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1737405&GSub=197196 -
Am I the only one who hid his art collection, gave pieces of the map to various collectors, and then spent years setting up booby traps?

This one: https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1386054 I was after a great big Wolverine, in costume, claws out, and inked by Scott, ideally from Xtinction Agenda. The only pieces I preferred to this were locked away with krakens guarding them:)

Howdy gang! As a thank you for his wonderful newsletter I wrote a fun little article for ComicArt.Tips entitled "Knowing an Artist's Oeuvre". It's about doing proper research and may be helpful for newer collectors. I used Jim Lee's run on Uncanny X-Men as an example:) https://comicart.tips/jim-lee-x-men-original-art/ Enjoy!

This is a fun topic:) Here's a great 'flip side' piece I lucked into. Long, long ago I was buying art from Whilce Portacio's brother-in-law and they had just broken up a couple of early Punisher issues. He was raving about how gorgeous some of the art on the back was. When I bought a few pages he tossed this page in for free. Pencils by Whilce Portacio. Inks by, I believe, Scott Williams/@stinkininkin The front side is nothing special. Streets, sidewalks, and characters out of costume. The back side has 3 different Punisher heads penciled by Whilce, that were then later partially inked by Scott. Far cooler than the front:)

Anyone remember a Comic Art class/club at Umass in the 90s?
RabidFerret replied to RabidFerret's topic in Original Comic Art
Nice!! The only thing I have in my head was Bisley. I seem to recall he had Bisley art hanging. -
Anyone remember a Comic Art class/club at Umass in the 90s?
RabidFerret replied to RabidFerret's topic in Original Comic Art
I went once or twice and remember it vividly!! Except again, sadly, I wasn't as into comic art back then and didn't appreciate how amazing it was. I can still remember walking through the art floor, or the full sized turtles hanging from a wall. They had paper out so you could draw. It was such a cool place:) I'm sure I would be shocked at what was on those walls... -
Howdy gang! Long ago in college I remember running into a class or club of some sort about comic art at Umass Amherst, probably 1994-1995. I only attended it once (before I really got into the hobby), but have always wondered if the people involved in it were still in the hobby? Ring any bells for anyone?

What is your favorite "inexpensive" page you own and why?
RabidFerret replied to batman_fan's topic in Original Comic Art
This is one of the cheapest pieces I ever got and I still think it's gorgeous. It's by Cloyd Sweigert from the San Francisco Chronicle from the 1930s. I got this in the early 2000s for something like $50. It was so long ago I can't remember, but I'm also fairly certain it's not worth much more now since the artist is largely forgotten. It's also enormous and doesn't fit in most portfolios. And it's strangely still relevant, talking about the price of gas and how to deal with it...by making the cars smaller! (Sorry the scan isn't better! It was last scanned with 2005 technology!) -
- Watterson Calvin & Hobbes - The biggest artistic influence of my youth that I don't have an example by yet. - A great Keown Hulk page - BWS panel page of The Thing

Bill Sienkiewicz painted a Santa Claus book in 1998 titled 'Santa, My Life & Times'. I'm looking for paintings from it:) A bunch had been listed on Comiclink's Exchange, but unfortunately the seller didn't respond and they were delisted. Anyone know who that seller might have been? Or have any paintings they may sell? Thank you! -j

ART DAY - Movie Poster original paintings!
RabidFerret replied to Terry Doyle's topic in Original Comic Art
Yup, horrifying. But on the flip side, Kodo and Podo are the coolest friggin' ferrets in history! For me it was always the dog thing from The Neverending Story. Nightmares... And speaking of The Neverending Story, the original painting and tons of others appear available as an exhibit from Casaro. Has anyone ever seen this exhibit or booked it? That seems insanely cool... http://www.casaro-renato-art.com/movieposters/fantasyeng.html
