More mongrel than pedigree.

If these auctions are anything to go by, Pedigree fails to live up to its name and doesn't seem to have much of a pedigree . . .

Provide me with a link, my wife likes flowers!

Actually, if you look on the CAF home page, there's also the IX Exchange, which is for imaginative realism artwork . . . which pretty much covers non comic-book art such as paperback covers, MTG painted art, illustrations, science-fiction pulp art, movie poster paintings and the like under CAF's umbrella. I think it's fair to say that not everyone who collects OA confines their interests to just comic-book stuff. I for one, welcome the non-comic-book art diversity which I very much enjoy looking at (with the exception of fan-boy stuff or badly drawn nudie art).

I was just thinking about that this morning. With the inclusion of the illustration exchange on CAF maybe they could blow out the published/unpublished other and cater to that crowd a little bit too? Something Similar to what we do for comics? Non-comic covers / Advertisment art Interior / Spot Illustrations and keep the catch all Unpublished/Published Other Bill and I will keep that in mind for next year. How about a category for Fakes (given the exposure for such things on these forums)? We will consider a "Rob Liefeld artwork with feet" category. Now we're talking!

My votes as follows (entries mostly alphabetically by owner, so not necessarily in order of preference): Published/Unpublished Covers Swamp Thing # 1 cover Wonder Woman # 154 cover Tales From the Crypt # 43 cover Haunt of Fear # 28 cover Two-Fisted Tales # 20 cover Published Splash Pages/Pin-ups Black Condor splash Daredevil # 285 splash Invaders 1976 calendar illustration Batman/Predator pin-up Vault of Horror # 25 splash Would have voted for the Wrightson 'Jennifer' unused pencil splash, but it didn't belong in this category so I personally disqualified it from my list. Published Interior Panel Pages Thor # 170 page Amazing Spider-man # 32 page Amazing Spider-man # 39 page Tales to Astonish (Ant-man) page Fantastic Four # 46 page Published Strip Art Prince Valiant panel Flash Gordon full-page Sunday Flash Gordon Sunday Krazy Kat Sunday Carol Day daily Published/Unpublished Commissions The Spirit (Andreas) Robot pencil (Kirby) Spidey & Kraven (Zeck) Batman (Syaf) Nick Fury (Steranko Unpublished Sketch Covers/Convention Sketches Couldn't really muster-up any enthusiasm for this category, so didn't vote. Apologies to those of you who submitted artwork, but it's just not my thing. Unpublished/Published Other Fire (BWS) Britannia (BWS) DaVinci and Mona Lisa (Matania) Metabarons (Charest) Krazy Kat specialty drawing (Herriman) Enjoyed looking through most of the submissions, so well done to all who participated.

Budapest, Hungary? Maybe it's a fake of a Royer lightbox job and the curse of Rae is spreading further afield . . . .

Total respect.

My five entries: http://www.comicartfans.com/mylowry.asp?gsub=1670

Added a nice Bruce McCorkindale recreation of Kirby/Sinnott's cover art to FANTASTIC FOUR# 58 in my CAF (Covers Gallery # 5). Link to my CAF at the bottom of this post.

So what's the way forward for you now?

Oh, I dunno, canned artist turds did very well . . .

looks like a John Vuscema to me A few curly kneecaps and we could almost be in Fred Hembeck territory . . .

Main titles are usually hand painted. Some are directly painted onto the image, with some titles painted separately and attached to the art as paste-ups. On the above poster, 'High-Ballin' is painted directly onto the art, with 'The Big Sleep' as painted paste-up. Cast and production credits are mostly strips of mechanical lettering pasted onto the paintings.

Back from the framers . . .

Doom was always my favourite villain for the FF. Currently in the process of having Bruce McKorkindale recreate three classic Jack Kirby FF covers featuring the villain we all love to hate. Here's the second of three: See 'Covers Gallery # 3' in my CAF for another Doom cover recreation (link to my CAF at the bottom of this post).

I'm a fan of colour co-ordination! No GBU poster, though I have friends who fit the bill . . .

Thanks, Eric. Rasputin's on my bedroom wall . . . maybe for 'inspiration'

Another one back from the framers . . .

Slowly, but surely, getting round to having some of my movie poster paintings framed . . .

Slowly whittling my way through framing jobs for my movie poster paintings . . .

Rasputin made his way back to me from the framers this afternoon . . .

Hey Terry, I am new on the boards - but by chance are you a dentist? Not me, I'm a professional beer drinker.
