I think it's wonderful you wanted one so badly just to resell again.

Mitch-

 

Most people know that I price my art waaaay over what I think it is worth. I did that because when I put NFS, I kept getting emails asking me how much I would sell it for or lowball offers. I very rarely get those emails anymore (thumbs u

Very cool, Steve. You have good taste in art. I am not a DC fan but that is very nice!

I don't know about that Steve. Haven you heard what the going rate is for an Art Adams cover these days?

Steve-

 

Congratulations! Really nice Art Adams cover at a very good price. Some of his pieces have been going through the roof recently. I was elated when I won his cover art to Buffy the Vampire Slayer #1 earlier this year. That won't leave my hands unless someone offers me an insane amount of money.

 

Again, nice pickup!

Was that supposed to be a 'congrats' post or a 'wish I would have won it' post?

[dkao-migration]

thats pretty awsome. Art Adams stuff always seems so "simple" (perhaps a better adjective would be clean), but so intricate at the same time. And the body proportions with respect to the perspective is done really well for a complicated piece.

Small world Steve,

 

I was the underbidder on the Adams art.

Sorry to have made the cover cost you $300 more.

 

Best,

Steve

Very Cool page Steve, try not to hang upside down for too long looking at it

No problem! All is fair in art and auctions!

 

besides, my snipe was way over that, so I am still quite happy! Extra bonus; my daughter loves the piece! (thumbs u

 

To everyone else: Thanks for the kind words, I love our hobby!

O.K. raised the price, just in case!

Hey Steve, just had a chance to have a longer look at the piece, the composition is awesome, A. Adams is such a great artist for that, his Classic X-Men 1 cover is still one of my all-time favs.

 

Quick question? Are the background figures in Pencil only and the foreground pencil and Ink? I take it they are not overlay, which is really amazing, seems as if this is one of those pieces that would look even better in person.

 

Congrats again (thumbs u

[wktam]

OMG that is gorgeous. Congrats.

[sborock]

It is inks on the four characters and pencil only on the others. The effect is amazing! Check out the final cover:
