Looking to buy following Jones Sandman, Ryan Sook and Tradd Moore pages

Yep....I went to Essential Sequential to look at Amy Reeder art and after more than a few visits, and some time later, ended up focused on Sean Murthy's Chrononauts art. Chrononauts had wrapped up and Tokyo Ghost issues were being released so naturally Jason was getting Tokyo Ghost artwork sent by Sean while I was trying to decide on what artwork I wanted. I'd seen Sean tweet some WIP images for the cover to Tokyo Ghost, so I reached out to Jason.... when I finally got to go look at the cover Jason had some internal pages too.... Ended up getting all three.... My first OA. I went in looking to spend a few hundred on a Amy Reeder Rocket Girl page and walked away with a cover a DPS and splash page from Tokyo Ghost. I still get inquiries about selling my Tokyo Ghost art....Nope. . 

Tradd + Doctor Strange = my best guess.

With outdoor humidity being so high, I don't think you'd get the same calibur of art on display here in NJ.... not now anyway

I've always been able to look at art and just draw it. Amy Reeder came to a local Con. I got to watch her draw commissions all day. It's like I absorbed something from that session of watching. I drove home, sat down and pumped this out from an online referenceOff a Zaffino I saw on IG. MOST art is a series of connect the dots. Folks like Zaffino, Bill Sienkiewicz & Sean Murphy create thru layers... This was fun. love Cordelia

Yes, Ralph Snart. My brother and I enjoyed the book when we were lads. Wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of the OA.

I've passed on lots of opportunities to buy art this year. Intending to save for a grail purchase and deciding to focus on nostalgia over modern examples. Last week's art drop had me loosen the purse strings for the first time.... and possibly only time. Everything you said, while a bit illogical makes sense. The FOMO is real. You'll have to offer more to convince one of the sixteen buyers to part with a page. That much is for certain.

I'm of the age where i grew up on a healthy diet of late 70s, 80s and early 90s comic art, lost my way in the mid 90s and came back to it about six years ago. My pallet is probably more attuned to the classics. At first i didn't get Tradd's style. SSB opened my eyes! Missing out, last week, on the page i wanted stings more (a week later) than it originally did! Being relatively new to the hobby I'm not accustomed to this "yearning" (for lack of a better word). Says a lot about his art and about the page in question.

Since Scalera Space Bandits cover sold - adding another Sean Murphy: Chrononautes issue 3 pg 7 http://cafurl.com?i=24986

Matteo Scalera - Space Bandits cover - SOLD!

Looking to raise funds for a grail piece. Only selling a few examples and once I raise enough cash will remove all remaining pieces. Check out the link. Let me know if any interest. Timed payments are an option. http://cafurl.com?i=24986

Gladly trade my badge for the page I wanted. Went though the gauntlet and four hours later got the "I'm so sorry..." if the new buyer is willing to sell, let me know

I've got lots of Sean Murphy - of my 17 pieces in my collection, ten are SGM... This is still thrilling to look at and makes my brain happy

My favorite book - MagnusX is right. Unless it's on CAF it's at Gallerie 9

Born Again pages welcome.... bump

Great page! Good luck!

Agreed, not the same. If you are buying because you want the original then the oils ain't it.

Same as Skizz situation....published = original. So the traditional would be a reproduction. I say "no"

Good point!

Agreed - in my case the art isn't published but first created digitally...so if I get the artist to create a traditional piece is the first/digital piece more of a prelim? Or is it still going to have the stigma as a recreation

With your example the published digital is the original - anything after is a reproduction of sorts - no? With my situation the art isn't published but the only existing example is digital...so is the digital a prelim? Is the final traditional piece looked down upon by the hobby?

Art comes in many forms these days: traditional inks over pencil. original pencil w/ original ink over blue line and the other side of the spectrum - mono-prints. Recently saw a piece of unpublished art online. Reached out to the agent...artist created it digitally but he can convert it into traditional art on 11x17 Bristol board using the proper archival inks etc. Once he converts it to traditional he'll "break the mold" in that he wont do another. Thinking of the digital as a prelim and the traditional as finished piece. What are your thoughts on this? I've only purchased published traditional work so far and have a bias against any other permutation. Creating original traditional art off original digital images. What are your thoughts?
