Great to see you back! Also semi-monthly is 2x a month. Perhaps you meant bi-monthly?

I found the article interesting When you read this advice: Buy what you love "The first thing that goes through my mind is 'does this give me goosebumps?'" he said. "Is it something I will want to look at every day and with the same enthusiasm a year from now, or two years from now. And how will it fare in comparison to other great artists next to it?" As an art collector it makes sense. The problem I had was that the article mentioned : He has a keen eye for great art that's also made for incredible investments. He bought one of Andy Warhol's famous "soup-can" paintings in 1996 for $340,000. It's now likely worth over $9 million. So.. while not judging the investment angle. .. I find it hard to believe he gets goosebumps from an image of a can of soup (unless we are talking the price of the art.) 340m to 9mil in 20 years is goosebump material. Now it's easy to joke around based on limited knowledge. So happy to admit I may have it totally wrong. Gene would know better.

Yes - but is it in your budget. I also can't believe how much cool stuff there is. Too much!

For my part - I think the Sal signature looks good on this page. It's not covering any important elements. It wouldn't bother me a bit to get art with a signature like this on it

People want to see racism in everything these days. The show featured characters of all ethnicities and none of the characters were racist as far as I could tell from watching.

Looks like you might have solved it. 2 images The pencils looking up is not inked. Yours (looking straight ahead was inked ). Unless someone has a photo of the looking up one inked?

What?! They cancelled it?! Yeah - I genuinely was interested in seeing what happens next even though the show was weak.

First off - awesome pick up. If you look at the Icon book under the dustacket - it's the pencil art. Ow I could be totally wrong - but I thought AI had seen the pencil only version for sale on a caf about 2 years back. The owner was asking 10k. It's possible it was this inked one- but I genuinely remember that it was pencil as I was considering buying it. Not sure if anyone elserecalls the item as pencils only.

The links didn't work for me. Maybe they work for others. Found it on HA.com by searching Asner. Here is that link HERE

Great pick up! Love the frame too.

So is it a fact he bought j scott art in any scale?

Wondering if you collect Campbell art? It is a bit aggressive - but a couple cool covers to be had. As a fan who already has a few pieces - nothing here I would jump at . Could see some selling though.

Can you elaborate?

thanks for all the feedback. great collection Will! many many jems in there.

Saw this on Ebay. LINK the name is samual clarke hawbaker. art reminds me of Bill S. drawing on recent clink auction. anyone here a fan of this artist - and can say more about him or share any art?

There is a havoc xmen cover on ebay right now. 13.5k. As well as a couple cyberforce pages.

For some reason- all this focus on muscles- reminds me of a scene that horrified me as a child from the tv show V. Now I am not saying the Cabal are actual lizard people but.. See link at 2:20,second mark it starts.Link. Skip ton2:20 to start

Thanks for pointing that out! Just insanely awesome pics.

Of anyone has any picks of the Albert Moy booth - would be awesome to see.

Bump. If you are there and have some pics to upload it would be really appreciated by those of us who couldn't make it.

If anyone is going and can take some picks of art walls, etc.. it would be super appreciated.

Been having an email conversation with a friend recently where he brought up something I never heard of. Restoring faded inks. Especially in cases where an artist might have used non archival markers. Below is a copy of his email to me. Would love thoughts and opinions from all of you. Have you seen this done? Is it ok? ________________________________________ I'm not sure if you're aware, but a few months back Robert Dennis publicly floated the idea of doing "re-inking" on art where the original artist used markers with ink that has faded or turned purple/brown over time. Personally, as sad as it is to know that some pieces will eventually fade into oblivion, I think that is still what should happen, if the only alternative is to have anyone other than the original artist "re-ink" an old, faded cover. As a matter of fact, I'd still prefer to leave them fade, even if the original artist was still alive and willing to retrace it. In any case, the reason this topic is on my mind now is because I just noticed this cover..... http://www.romitaman.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=21066&ArtistId=909 ....and right in the middle of the description you will see the following statement: "This cover has ZERO FADING as Gil Kane drew this one in pencil and "permanent" black marker!" The words "zero fading" are even emphasized in upper case letters. The problem with that statement is that it isn't true at all. That DC Presents #60 cover was drawn by Kane with the usual marker he used for all of his art in those days, and the entire cover HAS faded. Approximately half of it has faded black inks, and the other half has inks that have turned purple. I don't know if the scan has been manipulated in Photoshop to look blacker, or if some one has "re-inked" the cover, but I'm guessing it's the latter. below are the 2 images. Hey Mike B. - feel freet to chime in. This art is only meant to be used as an example for the topic - as its what sparked the conversation about restoration and shows what could be a good example. If the facts are different in this case - happy to hear about it - but again, the point here is to have a more general discussion - not pick on this one example.

this is up for auction at comiclink. Jay Anacleto did a great job - but I was shocked to see whoever bought this got it signed in such a manner. see link HERE

Thanks for the explaining. Seems like something that will pass in a year or 2. Meanwhike, will try and focus on art and avoid getting involved in such a distraction. Hopefully comics will be better in the long run thanks to arguments and solutions from arguments such as these.
