Your collecting style: Eras? Artists? Titles? A mix?
theflashunc replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Original Comic Art
Three main areas for me: 1) Eltingville Club 2) mix of childhood stuff that was important to me personally, but maybe not considered top tier stuff (Paul Ryan FF) 3) Modern stuff I've enjoyed reading (Matt Kindt's Mind MGMT) -

I always liked how Paolo Rivera cataloged this first page in his Daredevil run with "Friggin Daredevil!" He was clearly excited to work on the book.

If you want arguably the lowest barrier of entry, his Silver Surfer limited series is familiar characters through the lens of Moebius. But yes, otherwise, Incal.

One approach I've not seen much elsewhere is Dale Eaglesham's work on FF with Hickman and Mounts. Dale just did super tight pencils for each page -- no inks -- and Paul would color digitally based on the pencils.
-
First, I'd keep this page from my Evan Dorkin Eltingville pages I've got. Tough to pass up this Kirby homage in a book about toxic fandom. Second, I have a couple pages from Dale Eaglesham's run on Hickman's early Fantastic Four (which is Solve Everything might be my second favorite FF arc ever). The Multiverse Council of Reed Richards is the obvious choice, with Dale's crazy tight pencils and no inks. Mounts colored all of the pages digitally direct from the pencils. Last but not least, another Hickman series, Secret Warriors. It's a tough call since Alessandro's Vitti's stuff on the series was incredible, but I'd go with Nick Fury finally putting one in Baron Strucker's head after all these years.

Fatale Original Art by Sean Phillips
theflashunc replied to Randall Dowling's topic in Original Comic Art
It's my least favorite Brubaker/Phillips collab, but not for Sean's art on the book. The Lovecraftian stuff just did not click for me at all. Much preferred the subsequent series The Fade Out. -

Plenty of non-creeps out there who draw good. Life's too exhausting to the do the mental gymnastics to continue supporting those who are.

Anyone have experience buying art from The Artists Choice??
theflashunc replied to BCoffee's topic in Original Comic Art
Having gone through Spencer's stock he brought to a convention, I can attest what he's got for certain artists far exceeds what's on the website, and the hunt it seems is very, very real when sorting through requests from potential buyers. I've bought from him both on the site and in person. The site is quirky and the process ain't Amazon Prime, but communication was always clear and under promised and over-delivered in my book. Just have some patience. Or just go to a show he's at and hunker down wading through the pages yourself. -
I keep them in box. Like a bag and board designed for it, so why not? Not like they're easy to store anyways. The box doesn't add any complication for a lot of upside. If anything the Chris Samnee Daredevil one I have came box-less, so that one sticks out as the oddity in my collection. Reminds me I need to go pull the Simonson Thor off the shelf and flip through it...

I've kept them as well.

Are Comic Art Porn Commissions A Big Thing?
theflashunc replied to Peter L's topic in Original Comic Art
I just don't understand the need to sexualize a cartoon character on a cereal box aimed squarely at kids. But hey, formative years and all that. Agreed, on the spectrum, quite harmless compared to some of the other stuff out there. -
Are Comic Art Porn Commissions A Big Thing?
theflashunc replied to Peter L's topic in Original Comic Art
The most particular one I've seen is the the seasonal Kellogg's Halloween cereal characters -- Frankenberry, Count Chocula, Boo Berry -- turned into topless pin-up ladies. I'm horrified but also applaud anyone who's found their extremely specific niche interest. Topless Count Chocula, who'da thunk. -
Couple others not to sleep on: -- Bridgit Connell -- Nick Cagnetti -- Matt Lesniewski

Any opinions on why Erik Larsen doesn't fetch higher prices?
theflashunc replied to NC101's topic in Original Comic Art
As always comes down to supply and demand as others mentioned. This thread did remind me I was at Isotope in San Francisco not too long after moving here, looking to pick up comics for the week. I didn't have a pull list set up yet, and there was this dude standing in front of the comics wall rack totally in the way, thumbing through an issue of what I think was Hulk. And I'm trying to get a copy of the newest Thor. Guy turns around, and it's Erik Larsen. Couldn't have been nicer, even if he did block the rack for a bit.
