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

[Mister Trent]

New in, from Heritage, the Marty Taras cover art to BABY HUEY # 51.

 

Unlikely to appeal to superhero-type collectors, but I have a deep nostalgic affection for these covers from the 1960s, which showcased my earliest introduction to Yankee comic-books

[batman_fan]

I actually really like that page, great look and "feel"

[Jesusjon]

One of my top 10 most wanted pages! Special thanks to Mike for remembering me when he considered parting with it!

 

Cool Great Machine Page!!

 

1 down, 9 to go!!

 

Thanks for looking...

Just grabbed this today from Sal at the Boston show....just an iconic image ! Hulk 231 -

[rob_react]

As I mentioned when i saw you today- Really nice page!

 

I bought a page of Detective art from Norm Breyfolge. Really nice guy,by the way. He talked to me about my art, etc. before he set up, which was awesome and his prices for his own work were more than reasonable.

[comicartfan]

Thanks Rob. It was nice to see you again. Yeah, I went over to Norm's table , but he had quite the crowd. I watched him interacting with the fans...he's very gregarious and I must say, quite fan friendly. I looked through his stuff too, but nothing caught my eye.

My Mike Mayhew piece form book 4 page 18 Vampirella Art Page

[Jesusjon]

Okay -- something a little different today, and hopefully the beginning of more variety in my collection

 

Two pages from the recent Batman Annual #25. I really like that Jason Todd is back, and giving Bats a challenge for once. I don't especially care for the "he's back because Superboy punched a wall", but hey, it's DC.

 

Jason gets beat, and runs away.

 

and

 

When former sidekicks go bad.

Man SDCC 2006 was a blast. I had a great time, and I will post a more detailed report later but here is what I picked up.

 

Buzz did a 14x17 ink wash Talia for me

THE KITTY AND THE COWL

 

Ryan Sook nailed a sweet Harley and Batman pencil piece

SOOK BATS AND HARLEY

 

I hit the Eric Powell jackpot as well.

His prices were dramatically higher than last year but still well worth it.

 

Conan Splash from the tribute issue #28

CONAN #28 SPLASH

 

Hulk page from Devil Dinosaur

DEVIL DINO PAGE #20

 

Goon Splash from Goon #15 (his only hand colored story)

GOON #15 SPLASH

 

Finally a sweet tribute to Hitchcock's "The Birds" from The Goon #17

RUN TIPPY!!!! RUNNNNNNNN!!

 

 

My Centerpiece Acquisition was

Brian Bolland's DC Who's Who Villains Cover.

BOLLAND JOKER AND VILLAINS COVER

 

Enjoy the scans and please let me know what you think.

A con report is to follow.

 

Best,

Picked up another Jose Gonzalez Vampirella #29 page in San Diego - from the Donnelly brothers at a very good price, no less!

 

[delekkerste]

Picked up a stack of Artesia panel pages by Mark Smylie (this is the best, most intelligent series that you are not reading - go check it out at www.artesiaonline.com), as well as this, the upcoming wraparound cover to Artesia Besieged #2:

 

[delekkerste]

OK, I've had this piece for a long time, but finally got around to photographing it while I was out in San Diego (where it is being stored). It's another of my Enrich Vampirella gallery paintings:

 

[delekkerste]

And, finally, I picked this little bit of cheesecake up directly from Rich Larson at the San Diego Con. It's a fully rendered study for the wraparound cover of the Fastner & Larson TPB "Haunted House of Lingerie 3":

 

[Solar]

That Enrich painting is simply BEAUTIFUL! Contgrats.

[aaron568]

Yes very nice vampirella buys there

Why is it being stored in SD?

Why is it being stored in SD?

 

Thanks, everyone!

 

The piece is in San Diego for a couple of reasons: (1) I have limited wall space in NYC while there is a lot more space at my parents' house in San Diego and (2) I like having a portion of my collection in a separate location so that, if a fire or other disaster destroyed my collection here, I would still have *something* left over to show for my collecting efforts.

Ah.....I knew you were keeping pieces at your parents' place, but I assumed they were in NYC also.
