That's a pretty cool idea. I like it.

Nice paintings. Who/who's the artist/s?

Thanks!

Arrived Saturday morning . . . another neat Magic the Gathering painting by the underrated Kev Walker . . . Darksteel Reactor A full bleed of the painting can be see as an additional image in my CAF: http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=140935 Magic the Gathering Gallery

I don't see a problem doing so. It doesn't bother me when I get such requests (no harm listening) . . . and I've sometimes ended-up selling! Nothing ventured . . .

Red Sonja? I thought it was Pamela Anderson!

Looks so much better framed!

Yeah, I know the feeling!

The Moebius is excellent and I like the 'floating' effect. (thumbs u

Thanks, Sean. Probably a bit of a radical departure from what I normally go for, but one of my dogs seems to like them (bottom right hand corner of my first photo)!

Bit undecided about the frame jobs on my two Volkan Baga oil paintings (high-gloss white). My idea was to have the frames really stand out and draw attention to the images. As I'm (still) in the process of re-decorating my house, I intend to have the wall colours a lot lighter, which might have a less jarring effect. Thoughts?

24p . . . it's only Earth money, Joe! It's good that you can enjoy a wide range of different books. (thumbs u

A face only a mother could love! Cool art! (thumbs u

Is there a post to this somewhere or an email confirming this. Just interested is all. I'm with the majority on these kinds of auctions, wouldn't touch them. I believe there is a thread already about that particular eBayer "leadpink" who has been at this for a long long time. Hand painted colour guides however are sometimes a way of getting a consolation prize when it comes to expensive pieces where the original pages are concerned. They can also have interesting notes or additional alterations on them but quite often just get scribbled on with the colourist's or printer's notations. I personally don't usually go for them, but did get my first one ever this week. Blue line stat V for Vendetta page watercoloured by Steve Whitaker which funnily enough comes with the production acetate. It was originally sold at the Comic Showcase in London in or around 1990 before I bought it from the owner. The numbering and method looks the same as the others on CAF and Steve was someone who attended Comic Showcase. Apart from that the seller also had an original cover for sale and an original page in his listings. It was interesting enough for me to bite given a little research and it had to be at the right price (a "fun" purchase price which wouldn't have gotten me close to anything else I wanted). Better than a poster IMHO. I recall passing on several complete books of Preacher colour guides done by Pamela Rambo. Again not usually everyone's cup of tea but to break even on splitting them up (and holding a couple back) would have only meant selling them at ten bucks a piece. Kinda regret not having the funds at the time as I think those would have paid for themselves with a bit of time and effort. Personally though I think the majority of colour guides listed have a silly / greedy price tag on them and don't encourage purchases. I find some of them interesting, especially if they are mostly clear of production notes but in the majority the price / shipping kills it for me. I remember seeing those V For Vendetta pieces in Comic Showcase. Do you remember who exactly was selling them? Would love to know. Watercolour on blue line stat Watercolour with overlay Sorry, no. I remember seeing the V For Vendattas, but they were outside my sphere of interest. Paul Hudson was managing the shop at the time (late 1980s/early 1990s were the times of my visits . . . I don't live in London, so my trips were ocassional). I was mostly picking up Silver Age Marvel pages (very cheap).

Great looking cover! An all-time SA classic in my books. But I must say, that frame really blows for that piece. Thanks, I'll look towards a better frame in the near future!

Me, I wouldn't know how to go about doing it. Would be extremely difficult to determine, I'd guess. Is collecting OA not an option for you or are these acetates (of questionable authenticity) really your thing?

Yeah, the market now appears to be flooded by fakes, so I'd certainly give them a miss.
