Something is lacking...

Nice to see some Ezquerra work. Awesome Page.

I waited 16 years to acquire the right McFarlane Spider Man cover. A year is not a very long time. Hang in there.

I am probably talking about your third bullet. However, I initially thought I was looking at your 2nd bullet. But I guess there would be two pieces in my scenario. I was just wondering if they just did pencils for certain pages that were published in the same book for a specific reason. Because every page for this certain issue was inked except for maybe 3-5 pages, at least from what I've seen out there in collections and for sale. But I have not seen a pair of one specific page. I've only seen it inked or penciled Im curious...Are you inquiring about pages offered by Spencer at The Artist Choice? You got it. Why? I understand now that your questions were not in regards to general knowledge of OA collecting, but pertaining to specific art pieces you have an interest in. And Since you haven't mentioned the books in question, I'm assuming you don't want anybody else to know what you are after as you take advantage of the very popular Christmas Sale. If that's the case, I just wanted to say that Spencer is a good guy and he will be able to clear up any specific concerns you might have with the pieces you have in mind as it can be a bit harder to give an exact reason why some pages are pencils only while others are ink without knowing the book/artist that you are asking about. No worries, Spencer will help you out. Good Luck on the buy.

No, I would not say most likely. Is quite the opposite. The practice of having one pencil page and one ink page started no to long ago... Mid 2000's I think [somebody correct me on that] A small percentage of books do this, where there pencil art is created, and as part of the process inks are done over a blue line copy of the original pencils, Ending up with a set of two pieces. Adlard's Walking Dead is one example. Most modern pages are still created of via the process of inks over original pencils or digital inks/color over original pencils. Inks over a blue line photo copy were never desirable in the past, but that has changed in the modern age with digital inks and digital coloring. The art of inking over original pencils seems to be slowly going away. Part of the allure of collecting OA over comic books was that there could only be one. Now you can have two originals, one pencil, and one ink. The original pencils will always be more desirable in this cases. Some collectors place it at 60%-40% Pencils over inks. But that’s up to you to decide depending on different variables such as penciller, inker and the what book is it from. At the end of the day, both pieces are part of a production process. Different people prefer different stages, Personally I have no interested in blue line copy printouts…because at the end of the day is still a copy even if it has original inks. Inks over original pencils will always be the most valuable.

Same here. But that page is fantastic.

Thats pretty wild. Congrats

It's really straight forward with Spencer which is good . And try to buy during the Christmas holidays as he normally has some festive Christmas specials.

Are they not the Coolines Artwork guys? I have been given one piece of advice in Original Art so far and it was to avoid that website. Well don't avoid their site as they do carry some amazing stuff, but Know everything there is to know about the OA you are inquiring about, including its market history price. If the offered price and the piece are not to your satisfaction, just move on. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. And most of the times their prices are sky high.

Nice Cover from an amazing Story. Congrats on acquiring all the covers from the 2nd half of the series..

Digging the Bolland. Very Nice

This is new And this one too.

noob question...I assume blue pencils are actual penciled drawings which are inked while a printout is a copy which is inked. Is that right? How does this play into whether or not to make a purchase or negotiating a price? Are blue printouts less desirable? Inks over a blue line photo copy were never desirable in the past, but that has changed in the modern age with digital inks and digital coloring. The art of inking over original pencils seems to be slowly going away. Personally I have no interested in blue line copy printouts…because at the end of the day is still a copy even if it has original inks. Others feel different and would place a higher value on a blue line copy with inks because they were part of the process of making the book. Part of the allure of collecting OA over comic books was that there could only be one. Now you can have two originals, one pencil, and one ink. The original pencils will always be more desirable in this cases. Some collectors place it at 60%-40% Pencils over inks. But that’s up to you to decide depending on different variables such as penciller, inker and the what book is it from. I place the emphasis on original pencils and inks together.

You need to tell the kids to make dinner and do the laundry because you have more important things to do.

Where is it?

Thats exactly what it is. And the addition of Bat Hound and the Laughing Fish. I like the way it came out
