I received "Raccoonwatcher" as part of my pledge to Grim Wilkins kickstarter for Issue 2 of his comic Merinda. Grim drew this fantastic homage to Moebius' "Starwatcher" as a print for the kickstarter. Very happy to have it.

Here's something you don't see everyday. An anthropomorphic Francine sketch by Terry Moore from 1993. I had no idea Terry was thinking of doing Strangers in Paradise as an anthropomorphic story until I saw this piece. You learn something new everyday.

This heartwarming illustration arrived today from Ryan Pancoast. Very happy to have it.

Father's Day

I received this gorgeous piece yesterday from Michael Ramstead. This has always been one of my favorite pieces by Michael so I am thrilled to have her. <3

Bryan Baugh has been listing a bunch of new pieces in his store recently and I have picked up some of them. 2 of them arrived today. I think this piece has to be the cutest Batsy and Kershy I have ever seen Bryan draw. I can't believe Bryan thought it wouldn't sell. When I saw it it was a no brainer purchase. I love cute moments between these characters and I don't think they come much cuter then this.

I also received a very cute nude piece of Batsy and Kershy but I'll just post a link to it.

Batsy and Kershy Hug

Thanks. I assume it was just a piece that David had drew to sell at a convention since it has a price marked in pencil. It did end up being published in one of his sketchbooks though.

Back in March, PopBoom released their short film based on Josh Howard's Dead@17. The film called "Dead@17 Rebirth" was directed by Jack Heller and stars CC Weske as Nara Kilday and Lucy Freyer as Hazy Foss. You can watch it on

. As a promotion for the short film Jack and Josh wrote a new Dead@17 comic that tells the story through Nara's perspective. I was able to purchase the roughs and found out afterwords that Jack Heller owns the inked pages. You can see all of the pages in the Dead@17 Rebirth Roughs Gallery on CAF.

 

 

I was also able to get a page that Josh did for the Dead@17 Complete Collection which fits in the same issue that I am trying to reassemble. Of course the page only exists in the Complete Collection but I am very happy to have it. Any day I can get a new Hazy page is a great day.

I framed the piece by Becky Cloonan that I won in the March ComicLink auction. It's page 13 from The Swamp Thing Annual. Decided to go with a floating mat so I wouldn't lose the beautiful filigree details. So happy to have this gorgeous piece in the collection and be able to enjoy it everyday.

Thrilled to finally have this Becky Cloonan piece from Comiclink's March auction in hand. I wanted an example of Becky's work and this one definitely fits the bill.

I commissioned Dean Yeagle to do a piece featuring Mandy as a Kimono Girl. I don't think Mandy could get much cuter than this.

It ended up selling for $5,101.00

Here's something you never see. One of the original Thorn Strips. It will be interesting to see what it ends up selling for.

First purchase of the new year arrived today from Steve Mannion. Page 5 from Fearless Dawn "Helga's Story". I liked the page when I first saw it and am very pleased to add it to the collection.

Received the J.A.W. Cooper sketches from the Temple of Art kickstarter that I pledged for in August 2014. Very happy to finally have them.

"Rattle"

 

"Rise"

Yesterday the package from Tonko House's Holiday Sale arrived and was opened with the art missing. I thought they were stolen but as luck would have it they had fallen out at the main Post Office so they were delivered safely today. I am ecstatic that they weren't lost forever somewhere during transit. It really is a miracle that they arrived safely in my hands. These fantastic pieces are by a couple of Tonko House's young artists. They are the characters Pig and Fox from Tonko House's short animated film "The Dam Keeper".

 

"Hello, Good-Bye" by Yoshi Hiro Nagasuna and "Sunset" by Toshi Nakamura.

This beautiful Kimono Girl by Brian Kesinger arrived today.

Received a couple new pieces from Josh today. A fantastic Slave Leia complete with Han in Carbonite.

 

And an absolutely stunning Hazy.

After waiting almost a year I finally received this beautiful paper cut Kimono Girl from the amazing Brittney Lee. So happy to have this piece safe and sound where she belongs.

That copy ended up selling for $1527 with just 2 bids.

This beautiful Kimono Girl by Steve Mannion also arrived recently. I highly recommend having a commission done by Steve. He had this piece done in 3 days.

I contacted the amazing J.A.W. Cooper about commissioning a piece back in February 2014. At the time she was booked but said she might try to work the idea into her upcoming solo show. She ended up making this gorgeous piece for the show and I purchased it before she was even finished with it. I am so ecstatic to finally have a piece by Cooper. Her work is phenomenal.
