  1. Been eagerly awaiting these from Brazilian artist Thony Silas Dias de Aguiar, his Spider-man work has been keeping him busy, but it was worth the wait.

     

    Well, I am on Thony's list - Doctor Strange and Clea for one and Asgardian Storm for the other. Thanks for making me aware of his work, I love yours and hope I get that bang for my buck as well.

     

    And I pretend to be limiting my commissions and trying to focus on published pieces, but it is hard to break old habits. :facepalm:

  2. I got this in the mailbox. Literally in the mailbox, rolled up all to hell. Next time writing "do not bend" would help Ulises! But anyway, it flattened out really well and is in perfect condition now, it was rolled more than bent so it proved easy to address. so here it is, wonderful as expected but so totally unexpected as Ulises does so well.

    Tales from Brave Ulises! Asgardian Storm by Ulises Farinas.

  3. Well, today I mailed out a 45% down payment to a dealer I had never heard of until I checked this thread. Well down gentlemen! (worship) I thank you. (thumbs u This was a real help. I knew of many many of these dealers, but not every one and lo and behold I should have a nice piece soon enough. It will definitely be in my "Best of" on CAF at the end of the year. :whee:

  4. Okay I will try. I just missed out on a grail. I have vowed to not let that happen again. I have already reached out to the owners of 2 others (I have about 5 I guess). So here is my number one, true grail. this is by P Craig Russell and is a double page spread from Ultimate Spider-man Super Special #1 published in July 2002.

    I drove a bit earlier this year to ask PCR about it directly and he told me it was long gone! So if you know where it is, tell the owner to come and take advantage of me! Bend me over a barrel, I really don't mind. (Sorry that these seem like rape analogies, but they apply!)

  5. Okay, impulsive purchase announcement. I started the email asking for a micro-commission and somehow ended up ordering a full commission instead. maybe because it is Ulises Farinas and he did this for me in the past

    So now I got an Asgardian Storm coming my way. He actually said he would start on it tonight as he has a few days, so hopefully it will be a quick and wonderful piece. I am an eternal optimist, eh?

     

     

     

  6. I drove 105 minutes each way to pick up two pre-arranged pieces at Wizard Philly today. Tom Raney called out but is doing my Dr Strange anyway. But I got my Stephen Segovia, thanks to Stephen and Kirk for the help -

    and I also got a great Stargirl from Chrissie Zullo. I know she has drawn Stargirl for someone else before, but I got one anyway and am glad I did.

    I wrote these up on my blog, fedres420.blogspot.com It makes me sick to type that, but if no one knows no one reads, so there it is.

     

     

     

     

  7. I got this yesterday. Chris Bachalo doing Dr. Strange! I had coveted it for a while and it was offered in an offhand manner after another deal was going south. But I jumped on that offer and here it is!

    The bottom of the scan is cut off a bit, but you get the idea! Frickin' sweet! Now if only Chris would open that commission list again!
