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

My other Comicpalooza 2015 was an Orc. Yes, it's clear that beer glasses work because I picked this up. Wait, I don't drink. What!

I've been too busy to look for art lately but these fell into my lap. At $20 a page it was hard to walk away. I'm sure they aren't worth much but I felt obligated to pick them up. First time I've ever seen OA in a junk shop.

This week in my CAF gallery: that gorgeous painting by Alex Maleev, wonderful Wolverine and Spider-Gwen sketches by Leinil Yu, Kevin Maguire and Mike McKone, and one extremely disappointing commission transaction destined for disappointment and loss of money by (ugh) Ethan Van Sciver.

 

Enjoy

Had a good art day today at the Phoenix Comic Con

Both pages are much whiter than my phone makes them appear. This one just blew my mind when I saw it. Matt Fox was such a talented artist

Cool stuff. I see Tom was there. Did he bring any of his Norems?

The Matt Fox stuff is strangely compelling. Nice example! (thumbs u

That slayed me too when I read it as well Terry.

Yep, he had one

Thanks Terry. Lieber gets an art credit on this one, but he probably only did layouts. Those characters are clearly Fox.

 

He had a wild imagination and this is right in his wheelhouse

[BrianR]

You should ask him what else he has. He has an extremely impressive amount of art that is not seen.

[ciorac]

I did. And he was kind enough to bring this Ditko page today, and I purchased it

 

[BrianR]

That is a great Page!!

[ciorac]

Thanks Brian. I was glad he brought it in today

I just uploaded a NSFW Jason Pearson Catwoman thanks to fellow boardie Nelson for selling it!

It was a fun week for me. Got a great commission from Jerry Bingham in exchange for a Red Cross donation, and a cool I Kill Giants commission from Ken Niimura. Plus a Manifest Destiny cover and two very awesome Don Newton Batman pages are in my CAF recent additions:

 

Here's the Bingham commission with Spectre and Batman:

Another chunk of my daughters' inheritance has been squandered!

 

Joe Eisma is the artist on Morning Glories. The book is fascinating to me. It's a puzzle sent in a prestigious private academy where the students are all unusual and the faculty is just plain strange.

 

It's been described by Nick Spencer, the series writer, as "Runaways meets Lost." Runaways was a comic book series featuring young characters who discover that their parents are evil and Lost was a very mysterious TV show with a very non-linear narrative structure. Per the Wikipedia, "the series focuses on six 'brilliant but troubled' new recruits at Morning Glory Academy, a prestigious prep school hiding "sinister and deadly" secrets."

 

Anyway, Joe has been the series artist for its entire run to date (quite an accomplishment). But that’s just the start, the series is supposed to run about 100 issues and Joe is committed to doing them all.

 

 

I enjoy his story telling and have had him add head sketches to each chapter break on my copies of the Deluxe edition books, but I've wanted a commission from him for some time. I decided to pull the trigger this month.

 

So, for your viewing pleasure, I offer my latest addition featuring the staff and students of MGA discussing a recent disagreement. Sorry Allie, Elizabeth, and Rebecca.
