The Official Commission Collecting Thread
Benedict Judas Hel replied to easyt63's topic in Original Comic Art
No, I only got an apology from his agent, Renee, who was the only person I ever had any communications with. -
I just use my iPhone to take my CAF pics. Nothing fancy but it suffices.

Thanks for the heads up, Will! I’ll definitely be taking a look around.

Thanks! Vega is also my favorite Street Fighter character and my go to choice in the arcades (when they existed) in the 80's and 90's. That's a very cool commission you got yourself! I'd love to get a Garbage Pail Kids commission from the original artist of the series someday (as well as my other favorite commission subject, The Baroness). -
I have no “grail” to speak of in original comic art. While I’d love a Ditko Spider villain page, or a John Romita Sr. one or a Todd McFarlane, I can easily live without them (and the price to acquire them). Thankfully, I also set up some strict rules for myself when it comes to purchasing comic art (content, price, panel size) so I don’t feel the need to impulse buy certain pieces that become available and can save my available funds when a piece that fits my criteria becomes available.

Feelings on Unpublished Pages?
Benedict Judas Hel replied to BuraddoRun's topic in Original Comic Art
I have no interest in unpublished comic pages or prelim pages. They are nice to look at and can be interesting, but they are not something I seek for my personal collection. -

And the commissions keep rolling in! I got in this 11” x 14” Baroness commission by Greg Petre (a.k.a. Greg + Fake) today: -

Hey, you can’t go wrong with the toy or that commission. Congratulations! -

It definitely looks awesome. I love horror art and combined with my 2 favorite commission subjects, it was bound to shoot up to the top of my favorites list. I sure hope that framing will help. I will leave it to the professionals to do the best they can. I sure as hell know I don’t trust myself to attempt anything! -

Now, that looks awesome! I loved Warduke and he was one of my favorite childhood toys. So much so that I reacquired another toy for my collection... -

Thanks. I told Renee other collectors would not be as forgiving as I was if they received a commissioned piece in this condition. It does suck that the piece arrived with this gigantic crease and I am disappointed but I’m hoping that when I get around to framing this piece, my framer will be able to minimize the crease or possible even eliminate it. -

I don’t think she shipped it. I never had any contact with Arthur, only her (Renee). When I e-mailed her about it and suggested to her that Arthur may want to package any future art better, she said she would pass it on to him. She went on to offer me advice on “steaming” the piece to possibly minimize the crease. Below is how the crease looked when it arrived: -
Then I guess it is fortunate for me that I don’t collect Lady Mechanika published story pages. They look cool though!

Here is an 11” x 17” artwork by Arthur Sudyam I received today that I commissioned from Comic Art Fan’s Comic Art Live event in May: *Full disclosure: He didn’t package it very well (not sandwiched between 2 pieces of cardboard) and artwork arrived with a crease going across the top third of the art. I love the piece and the crease brings it down a bit... -
1) Excessive damage to the art 2) Signatures within the artwork (no problem outside the panel borders but I dislike them inside the actual artwork itself) 3) Pencil only pieces (I’m an inked pieces only collector) 4) DC Comic Art (no knock on DC artists/art but I grew up reading Marvel Comics only so that is the only art I am interested in collecting)

Would you rather Splash vs. Interior Page
Benedict Judas Hel replied to sfilosa's topic in Original Comic Art
I look for large art and overall appeal. I don’t have disposable income for premiere pieces so I have to usually choose interior pages with large “splashy” panels over official splash pages and covers. That being said, I would choose the DD splash page over the interior page. The Pin up would be last. Personally, I love text, speech bubbles, trade titles on original art. It makes it sink in to me that it is “official” comic art. I adore the marriage of large art and text on a comic page. -
