Finally got this in the mail today...it's the cover to Sojourn #25 by Greg Land and Jay Leisten. These guys are so good that it's a shame they don't get the accolades of some bigger name artists with less talent, just because they don't work at Marvel or DC. mad.gif

 

Anyway, this piece is dedicated to fellow Sojourn fan Cousin Larry (aka MajorKhaos)! thumbsup2.gif

That's a freaking INCREDIBLE piece, Balki! Greg Land is an unheralded genius and it truly is a mystery how everyone virtually ignores some of the most beautiful work in comics EVER! Congrats on the purchase... I'm most envious! (I'll stick to my Maguire/Giffen cheapies, tho'. 27_laughing.gif )

 

Where do you keep these? Do you frame them and hang them??? Inquiring minds want to know!!!

GREG LAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! thumbsup2.gif

 

I have a couple of my Vampi pieces framed and the rest of my collection (except for a couple of very oversized pieces) are in a couple of those Itoya art portfolios that Rob_React recommended in a recent post. Those portfolios are great...they're cheap, durable, archival and they make it easy to view the art. I have one 11"x17" one and one 18"x24" one for double-page splashes and larger pieces. Definitely recommended!

I pick up art whenever I can, and I only buy what I like...it doesn't have to be expensive.

What a cool pic to have all the GI JOE pages laid out in one frame ...

 

If anyone wants to see scans I think I have:

Bishop issue 2, page 21 - Georges Jeanty

Weapon X issue 3, page 8 - Georges Jeanty

+ some Ethan Van Sciver Impulse pages

+ some Randy Green Witchblade & Tomb Raider pages

PLUS I have a bunch of sketch cards inserted into Marvel card sets.

This one is going for at least $3000, I think. Actually I think it will be more like $5000.

 

I wish I could just get a few pieces of that. There are some other nice Shane Glines auctions up though.
