I was looking through some pictures on my hard drive earlier today and decided to ask: What collection do you own that has some meaning to you? In my case, I could post my completed Planet Comics run, but my Marvel Value Stamp collection has more meaning. I started buying comics when I was 5, using allowance money given to me for completing chores on the farm I lived on. But when I was 8 years old, I got a paper delivery route for the newly built trailer park that was 5 blocks from the farm. It was massive, and had lots of trailers; a couple of hundred. I got the lucrative Edmonton Journal paper route, and almost all of the money I earned was spent buying comics. A little after that I also got the route in that trailer park for the brand new paper called the Edmonton Sun. With 2 routes, I was bringing in enough money to buy all the comics I wanted. The Marvel value stamps were from the time period in my life when I was buying comics with my paper route money. Here is my collection. I got my unfilled stamp book signed by Stan Lee, the rest of my collection are books that contain the stamp; no stamps shall be cut from my books. Here are the books and the Stamp Booklet in my 70's spinner rack: the exact type of rack I would have purchased the books from originally.

I have received my auction win today! I am very happy, I hope you all will be happy as well.

within his first 7 years, rather than last 7 years. Shrug

I think this book still has some growth. Early Frazetta, cool cover, great colors and try to find a decent copy.

Makes me ill.

look real to me

I checked the website for the city of Chumpions, and it is StinkRankohh that is attending.

Thanks. I did the drawing of the Surfer, and of Norrin Radd's head. The text I create it in a computer program. An example: I wire frame traced the Silver Surfer logo so it is all vector art. Then I print it to the size I need. Then I meticulously cut out the text to fit around the drawn images. I try to avoid easily visible cut lines if possible. I had some challenges, such as around the Surfer's hand/fingers in the Silver Surfer logo text, not sure if you can tell. The top part of the Surfer's hand in the text of the Surfer logo: it is a thicker black line than the rest of the drawing and that is because I had trouble lining up what I had cut out when I glued it to the page that had the artwork on it. Like I said, meticulous.

He is skinny compared to me.

I made it all in a computer program.

Ok. Here

I worked from an actual cup. The drawing I did is flat on a quality paper.

?? I have a customer that wanted the 7-11 Slurpee cup art on a page. He wanted it exact as possible, as if the cup was uncurled and the image was flat on a page.

the finished 7-11 Slurpee cup art

Same customer also wanted this 1973 era 7-11 Silver Surfer slurpee cup art recreated. The 7-11 logo was recreated in an art program I have rather than pull one from the internet to maintain high quality. Page is 11" x 17"

The finished color work of the 20" x 30" Silver Surfer page. First time using the Copic Airbrush System. Mixed results, in hindsight I think I would recommend to anyone else to not use it or if they want to use it to buy the version that attaches to an actual air compressor rather than using the air canister method I used. It is to inconsistent. Sometimes I would be holding the spray trigger down and literally nothing was happening. I would fiddle with it, sometimes change out the air canister when it was getting to cold, other times adding ink to the marker. Some markers wouldn't work at all in the device, so I would switch it out for a different one that would work. In any event, I am sure my customer will be happy with the finished piece.

very rotund gut!

I am absolutely certain he doesn't want a topless pic of me.
