Aren't animation cels done on Acetate? Have any of those Disney cels from the 1930s shrunk? Celluloid made of cellulose nitrate and camphor was used early in the 20th century, but was flammable and would shrink. Cellulose acetate is more stable and isn't flammable.

The 940 Original art including today's current auction, Comic Market, Buy Now from Owner, plus 4 upcoming Sunday Auctions and the February Signature Auction. February Signature Auction only has 600 original art pieces.

Yup, if you are a big comic art collector please pay for the premium service for CAF. I have found it pays for itself with the art I have bought thru CAF services.

CAF is mostly comic book art related but there are exceptions. Most of the people who have CAF galleries collect and post comic book art, but some people also post other art related works like rock and movie poster art, cheesecake pinups. While it is a small percentage, Bill isn't going to police this. People who collect comic art also branch out into other types of art (myself included) and the CAF does make it convenient to post the other type of art. I try no mostly post comic art but like to share my other art interests. In regards to the Lowry and the Best of the categories are geared towards comic/newspaper related art with 4 of them (covers, splashes, panels, strips) the remaining ones can have a mixture of both but its mostly comic art related. If you don't like seeing the non-comic art just skip over it and not look at that person's gallery. There are 1000s of Comicartfans members with variety of opinions and tastes. Bill can not satisfy everyone, but also wants to get the broadest group of collectors. Nothing is perfect but I think Bill has struck a very good balance with his comicartfans.

OK thanks, I don't follow Golden's art so I didn't know. I never heard of an comic book artist inking straight on acetate overlay.

There is a Micronauts: The New Voyages #1 cover by Golden on Heritage that doesn't quite look right. Its done in colour and the description reads "This is an unusual piece in the way it was produced. Golden hand-painted the black ink lines on the acetate overlay and then hand-painted (and airbrushed) the image underneath." I don't see Golden drawing on the acetate overlay, I think its more of a copy of the inks printed on the acetate. This looks more like a airbrush colour guide. I don't have Michael's email, anyone know more about this or can ask Michael directly? https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/michael-golden-micronauts-the-new-voyages-1-cover-original-art-marvel-1984-/p/7158-127001.s?ic4=ListView-ShortDescription-071515#

it sure looks that way....(but doesn't work) "Voting is still active - change your votes" OK will inform Bill and fix that next year.

Sean, Will keep that in mind. There is no feature to change your vote.

With the Duotone/Duoshade board pencils and inks are not effected they appear just like on regular bristol. Its the special chemical used to bring out the lines/patterns on the board. Some just have lines going one way some have them stock it can produce different effects. Just depends on the chemicals used. Duotone/Duoshade board does darken over time when exposed to light.

Ya looks like Big John pencils to me.

I am looking at alot of pieces that seem above FMV but haven't met reserve. Are these being shilled to just under their reserves to get interest?

I was just thinking about that this morning. With the inclusion of the illustration exchange on CAF maybe they could blow out the published/unpublished other and cater to that crowd a little bit too? Something Similar to what we do for comics? Non-comic covers / Advertisment art Interior / Spot Illustrations and keep the catch all Unpublished/Published Other Bill and I will keep that in mind for next year. How about a category for Fakes (given the exposure for such things on these forums)? We will consider a "Rob Liefeld artwork with feet" category.
