Purchased my first pieces of OA recently

13 posts in this topic

I am sure that these pieces pale in comparison to most of the art you guys collect but I will share them none the less. Recently I came upon the works of Josh Howard (Dead@17, Black Harvest, Lost Books of Eve). One evening I was searching for Dead@17 on eBay and I lucked into finding a page from Issue 4 of the Dead@17 Ongoing series. It had a BIN of $25 so I quickly hit it and then checked the sellers other auctions. When I got to looking at the other auctions there were only 3 left so I quickly hit the $25 BIN on a page from Clubbing but was unable to pick up the 3rd page that was still available. I was thrilled because to me they seemed like bargains. It turned out that Josh had listed 15 pages and that I had just lucked out and found them near the end. They are both very cool and I will definitely be on the lookout for others. :)

 

The page from Dead@17 is 11x17.

The page from Clubbing is 8.5x11.

If you like the artist and the piece, you can NEVER go wrong with a $25 piece of OA!

 

It's buying stuff you don't like, simply because of the name of the artist or the title of the book where you waste your $25.

Nice pickup. Welcome to the club. I suggest that you stop now before it ruins your life and bank account! :D

Thanks for the replies everyone. When I saw these pages I thought they were too cool to pass up. I just wish I would have found the listings a little sooner so I could have picked up a couple of the others also but beggers can't be choosers. I am just glad that I was able to pick up these 2. :)
