The OFFICIAL "This week in your ORIGINAL ART collection?" 38 38

[alxjhnsn]

I have something of a Kickstarter problem. I received my latest - Impossible Jones and American A.N.G.E.L. - along with a watercolor of the lead. 

The tag line for the series is: A criminal gets powers and is mistaken for a superhero— and runs with it. 

Pretty good synopsis of this fun series. 

Enjoy.

Bought this original concert poster from the artist in Asheville.  Hope it is ok to share here.

Hi Folks,

I uploaded some Batman related art to my CAF:

1. A Kelley Jones Batman vs. Solomon Grundy Commissio

2. This one is odder. It's original art related to the Batman: The Animated Series. It's not from the comic book. It's not animation art. There isn't even Batman in it. But it's the art for the background buildings in the press kit they used to sell the show! The art is by Ted Blackman

Link to CAF Recent Uploads (since they are in different galleries)

Thanks for looking

Malvin

I just uploaded 2 more pieces:

1. Spawn Issue 75 page by Capullo and Miki

2. Jay Anacleto Power Girl Cover (AH! Homage)

Thinking the pastel might be Matt Baker (ignore the signature).

Great Norem - was that the one on Ebay? It looks familiar.

Here’s  the one you’re talking about.  It looks a lot like mine. I’ve been watching that one on the bay for a long time but the ask was about 10x what I paid for mine now some time ago.

After some minor hassle with the seller this page arrived:

Page 10 from Lady Killer #4 which shows that Joëlle Jones knows her way around a 1958 Chevrolet Apache Fleetside pick-up and enjoys drawing cars just as much as she does vintage fashion. (I already owned the page that comes next.) Click on the picture for a larger scan in my CAF gallery.

Jeff Shultz approached me with some roughs of unused cover ideas and wondered if I wanted him to finish any of them. I liked this one the best:

For a cover there is quite a lot of activity going on here.

A relatively recent acquisition found at the bottom of a bag or so I was told. I currently have it under some very large bags to see if it will flatten and allow a better scan.

I don't own the comic, but I'll fix that shortly.

I do wonder if the OA survived somewhere. It dates to 1969 which is before art returns, but he seemed to get a lot of his art back.

Gotcha - I see it is still on there - I'll have to rewatch.

Thrilled to add this Age of Apocalypse omnibus and poster art by Billy Tan

Being mainly an 80s to mid 90s Xmen reader, AoA was definitely one of my favorite arcs

That's a stunner and quite cool you have all the great elements of AoA on one piece!

Bought this Al Rio Purgatori piece from 1998 for the sole purpose of having Norm Rapmund ink the pencils, which I've had great luck with. Unpacked it this week - and had a bit of trouble. First, the "toning" in the piece was actually foxing. Second, the package it came in stank like a dirty locker room. It smelled overwhelmingly of mildew. So, I reviewed the Ebay listing, and upon closer inspection, you could see that the artwork had foxing, which I accepted responsibility for. The frustrating point was that the stink was not disclosed, and it's pretty noticeable even while handling it at arm's length.

The artwork also came from South America, so the return aspect was going to be a pain - not to mention that I liked the artwork, even if the foxing is going to hurt future resale. Seeing as how the pictures showed the foxing, but no disclosure of stinkiness - I really didn't know what kind of hassle I was going to have with the seller and/or Ebay. Not to mention that I didn't want to return something that technically looked like what I purchased, so, I shrugged my shoulders and figured I'd try to fix it.

After doing a bit of research, I determined the best way to kill the mildew and moisture in the paper was to bake it in the oven. (I've used the cat litter trick, and it does work - but it takes a couple of weeks) Even though paper is not going to discolor at 180 degrees, I still sat and watched it for awhile just out of concern and curiosity. I let it bake for an hour, and sure enough - the mildew smell was all but gone. The downside was the paper bowed a bit, so I took it to my local frame shop and for the cost of a couple pieces of mat board and a roll of parchment paper - they put it in their vacuum press overnight and when I picked it up, it was flat like normal. Packed it up and shipped it off to Norm - I think the inks are going to be so stark that it will visually take away from the foxing discoloration and really look sweet.
