Turtle Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 I figure someone here will recognize it right away, but can anyone tell me who the artist is from this auction piece? The sig and style look familiar, but I'm just not sure. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370404584347&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_500wt_1154 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdoginohio Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 The seller doesn't know? I don't think it's Eastman or Laird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turtle Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Definitely not Eastman or Laird. We can pretty safely rule out most of the Mirage Crew. Not Talbot, Lawson, Dooney, or Berger. Doesn't look like Brown or Lavigne, either. Maybe Mark Martin. The style reminds me of the Archie series of TMNT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's a book with most of the Mirage Signatures. The label erroneously states Laird signed the book but he didn't. Lawson signs like: "Jim Law Son" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARiche503 Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 there's been a few "original" pieces of art that have come up on ebay but the only thing that's original about them have been that it's just some random, original artwork by some random fan. Buyers must be cautious nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TMNT Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 You sold me on it Adam. So thanks for the heads up! I'd been wanting a Sim original piece for a long time now but with all the art from #8 locked up, i didn't think I get a chance. I think Dave did awesome with my request so may I present Cerebus as the Shredder!! And in case you're wondering, I have some sweet, early published art coming soon...
