  1. Thanks all!

    I appreciate the comments and suggestions... even the dancing one :baiting:

    I'm not OCD, just very, very detail oriented and knew that there are others like me (god help us). The article linked above by Will_K was informative but doesn't talk about how the security measures can actually harm the art with IR emitting sensors.

    For now, I'm not putting in the camera, just the adult Bengal Tiger to patrol the Man cave, in case anyone has any ideas on trying to get my art. Oh darn, now you know to come prepared with meat to distract the tiger... I guess I am OCD.

  2. I've been looking into adding a security camera to my Man Cave but have some concerns. The room has a window that I have hung a Black Out curtain to prevent sunlight in. I only use a Cree non-UV/IR bulbs. All framed art has museum glass with UV protection. If I add a camera with motion detection to my room, will the Infrared light emitted from the camera defeat the precautions that I've put in place?

    I'm not talking about high-end pieces but I still want to enjoy my art for many years to come without causing harm. Any thoughts, comments?

    Thank you for reading.

  3. I was talking to Terry and Robyn Moore at a convention last year, either Baltimore or NYCC, and they mentioned that they were going to do a Gallery edition. I have the variant cover to SIP volume 3 #1 that they didn't have a quality scan of, which I provided. A call went out to others for scans of early SIP pages and covers in the collector world from before technology let them scan in the resolution needed for such a book. Many thanks to those that sent Terry HQ scans.

    Terry tweeted details about the book, including a photo of the print that will be included in the Limited edition. When I saw that I inquired about the availability of the original art. It was and I jumped on it. You can see the art with the link below or the attached photo.

    CAF link to the art and my story - Feel free to leave a comment, if so inclined.

    The SIP Gallery Edition comes in two ways:

    Order the SIP Gallery Edition limited version directly from Terry Moore here

    The regular edition is available through your local comic book store (LCS). Please support them.

    Thanks for reading!

  4. Same here. I was hoping to take the Strangers in Paradise #1 spot this year so I entered about a dozen new books but every one results in the same error. Is the Admin addressing these?

    Here is an example

    Strangers In Paradise Vol 3 14 1330858011     This comic is not valid for this slot. Please check the slot's list of eligible comic books. This entry has been added to the admin queue. If your book is valid for the slot, it will be resolved by the administrator.

  6. I used to pick up my books at the local candy store until I moved to Long Island, NY. There we had a number of stores including The Realm of..., Creation and Memory Bank. At MB they would have an art contest each month for small prizes. After the first three months, the winner of all three was able to enter but not allowed to win any more. It was only fair that someone other than a teenage Joe Madureira should win once in a while.

     

    Now my store of choice is Grasshopper's Comics.

  7. The big Five-Oh for me.

     

    I started when I was about nine and stopped about 15 years ago. About 3 years ago my wife said I needed to stop paying for storage, I.e. Get rid of my books. I got such a lowball offer for my collection that I told her I'm keeping it and will sell at least enough each month to cover the rent and miscellaneous expenses... And sneak in an original art purchase for my Man Cave.

     

    I started reading digital copies during my train commute and it has brought back my youth.
