Sal elevated the entire art industry.  The only reason a Monet is valued where it is, is because of Sal’s contribution.

Hear! Hear!

I came across an old thread that was started by glendgold on September 2, 2019. Some art is not visible now, so I wanted to open another thread.

I don't have any Sal Buscema art, so I will have to live vicariously through all of you who own some of Sal's art.

So... Show off your favorite Sal Buscema art!

This is so amazing, on so many levels. I love art on toned paper. Montages are hard to pull off, but this is executed perfectly. Great piece.

That top right panel did it for me 

Congratulations on getting this. I agree, that right panel is powerful. Beautiful page!

A page from my grail issue (sorry if you don't like the term "grail issue" but I am using it). Hulk 227 pages are among the most sought after pages I look for - very pleased to add my 3rd (in well over a decade searching).

Congrats! One step closer!

Lots of people collect the Hulk! A majority of statueforum seemed to collect Hulk art.

It was totally a joke. Hulks awesome.

Glad to see more Hulk art being posted - and, no - you aren't the only. And YES, Sal is my favorite comic book artist ever as well

I can see where someone could confuse Glen and I.

My apologies for the confusion.

I’m pretty sure Glen realizes the art on his site has a markup, since it’s his website  

All dealer websites should have art marked up. 

The question was asked what dealer prices art at reasonable values vs. ones that everything seems to be overpriced. 

The only reason I jumped in here was it hit home for me this month when I saw the Daredevil Yellow page go for one price, and then a week later, there was a significant markup on the same page on his site. I was trying to say my perception now is the prices on his site are not reasonable but overpriced because he lists art very soon after the purchase and then lists them with a considerable markup.

He might not even be aware of this possible perception people might have. It doesn't matter to me. I was giving my two cents.

* Price new art at reasonable values vs. ones that everything seems to be overpriced.

The dealer site that comes to mind for me first is Panel Page Art. 

I don't know if Glen Brunswick realizes that all of the art he buys or consigns after it was recently purchased goes on his site with a huge markup, that makes me think that everything is overpriced.

Whether the art is genuinely overpriced or not, it's hard not to get that impression. 

I've just started uploading the art I have collected to CAF. More will be added.

I think I'm the only one on here that collects the Hulk. And Sal Buscema is the best comic book artist ever. 

Nic Klein

Brian Level: love his work. 
 

Jason Shaw Alexander: he amazingly free with his inking style. 
 

Brett Parson: I love his line work.

To me it's a swipe. But your commission is so much better.

Speaking of Patreons, what other comic creators are on Patreon that people are following?

I follow Brett Parson. 
 

It is an amazing sculpture. And how you have it displayed is fantastic.

 I really really just don't get the NFT deal, how to you NFT an actual ring?  Do you get the ring too or just a digital image of the ring?  What is going on here.

Crazy times. I think what gets lost sometimes is that an NFT can be anything. You can sell a digital Image of a ring, but that sale might also include tickets to a game, dinner with the player or anything else. Really, the sky is the limit. The digital part is only part of it.

On a certain level I get NFTs.  What I don't get is all the crappy NFT art going for big money.

Exactly!

Come back, 1990s, all is forgiven.

I'm guessing a lot of the speculation in NFTs is being driven by paper Bitcoin "fortunes."  Talk about foundations of sand.

Not sure what the 1990s comment is but NFTs are more than speculation at this point.

I heard a good description of what an NFT is recently.

It's a digital receipt.

Who thinks it would be a good idea to put receipts up on CAF?

My strong suspicion is that a lot of people getting into this don't understand the technology, and think it gives them some kind of magical digital rights management capability.  Again and again, I hear people making this mistake.

It's a receipt.  Nothing more.

There are a lot of people that do understand the technology. More than you can imagine. To them it is more than a receipt. Think of it like kids paying to level up in a game. To you and I it makes no sense has no value, to them it does. It makes them happy.

And, there is the whole investment part of nfts that is very real. 

Outstanding job Scott. Brave man. You certainly didn’t ink an easy spread of John’s.
