    1. A wonky bit of anatomy that I can't unsee. 2. Artist is a jerk.

    There's a lot I like about Simonson, but one thing I really like is his perspective shots, which means sometimes he draws characters really small. I also think that the fact that he doesn't sell his originals makes him a better artist/story teller. The purpose of his art is to advance the story--it's not created to sell to collectors like us.

    Yeah, i was eyeballing those pages as well. Nice to see Timmy getting some love!

    To be fair, one was for the benefit of a non profit.

    There's a facebook group. Just search for "Collectors of Original Illustration Art."

    This was inexpensive when I bought it, and it's probably still inexpensive today. Back in the day, I WAS a D&D geek and used to love reading Dragon magazine where Phil Foglio was a regular artist. Buying a bit of nostalgia doesn't always have to be pricey!

    I know there is a board version of Rio/Texas, do we know for sure a canvas version exists?

    I like how "nude" beats out the likes of Frank Miller.

    It's very possible that painting was done after the album came out. Nagel frequently made various paintings of the same images--several of his smaller playboy painting on board were turned into canvases with slight variations.

    Yeah, the canvas, which was used for CN9, went for north of $200k at a local auction house. I was there and bid on the piece, but I wasn't in the top 2. At the time, it was the highest price paid at auction for a Nagel.

    I always laugh when I see Marvel comics original art pages drawn on DC boards and visa versa!
  14. pinupcartooncollector
    Ironic that you mention archival adhesives given that many of pieces feature old glue (from word balloons) and tape stains. In many ways, comic book original art is one of the few collectibles where imperfections are often tolerated!

    Thanks! I used to take my stuff to a framer, and some stuff I still do, but the cost can add up in a hurry. Trying the do it yourself (read Michael's) these days.

    What do you use?
  17. pinupcartooncollector
    Yes. i know if you have a mat, you're okay, as it keeps the art from the glass, but I want to float some of my art so you can see all the editorial comment/marks. Turns out you have to buy frame spacers online, and it's like $50/100 ft.
  18. pinupcartooncollector
    I've been told many times that when framing art, the art shouldn't be in direct contact with the glass. What is the reason for this, and how is it different than having art in a mylar sleeve?

    In addition to page rate, don't artists also get royalties these days?

    Breakup value aside, classic Vampi just doesn't resonate with today's collectors. The other issue is that other Vampi collectos are also in sell mode.
  21. pinupcartooncollector
    Me! You've neglected to mention the Bill Ward contribution!
  22. pinupcartooncollector
    Sweet! I was the under bidder on another Vargas piece.

    They aren't reading, they're playing video games. When's the last time you saw a 12 year old in a comic book store?

    Original Attributed Watercolour on paper Image size 8.3 x 11.7" 21 x 29.8 cm Framed size 14.9 x 18.5" 37.8 x 47 cm Signed by Artist Provenance details available "Attributed" is never a good thing.

    sig is horrible in the first, and only slightly less horrible in the second one. Neither looks legit to me. Also, anything from Hungary does not count as provenance to me.
