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 . . .

There is a guy who posted his painting of a rose and of lily pads... what does that have to do with COMIC art? Are we opening the contest up to this, too?

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I cast all my votes, and I gotta say I found the interior panel page, and the Unpublished/Published Other categories to be the toughest. Any given day I could have put together whole other sets of votes. Boy that was tough.

 

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 With the inclusion of the illustration exchange on CAF maybe they could blow out the published/unpublished other and cater to that crowd a little bit too?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and keep the catch all Unpublished/Published Other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!

DaVinci and Mona Lisa (Matania)

Metabarons (Charest)

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 . . . .

Fortunately life's circumstances changed in a positive direction and I sold off only a few items and was able to pursue another passion, making alcohol

 

Total respect.

My five entries:

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.

 

Unfortunately the fact that Steve has never once even to this day responded to a single E-mail, phone call, or voice mail of mine from the minute he was made aware of this situation (and the fact that this has apparently been done before, and is still being attempted with items currently on eBay, on their website, and on another consignment site) has made it pretty clear that I won't be getting any money back if Steve has anything to say about it.

 

So what's the way forward for you now?

If Picasso coughed into a napkin and signed it...even with phenomenal provenance and video documentation of the act of creation (ugh), still...it's decaying organic matter (phlegm) on non-archival paper (napkin) with a dash of signatory-flourish. So maybe $25 tops. For a flip to $50. Ya know?

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

 

seller claims it's an authentic Buscema piece, but it looks wrong to my eyes.

 

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).

On a red wall too, nice. Do you have a Good, the Bad and the Ugly poster?

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 . . .

Nice teeth!

 

Hey Terry, I am new on the boards - but by chance are you a dentist?

Not me, I'm a professional beer drinker.
