Mike Mignola’s Hellboy: Tribute Auction and Show
3 3

19 posts in this topic

Hi Everyone

 I’m a board member for the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco, and I wanted to tell everyone about our first original art fundraising auction, Mike Mignola’s Hellboy: Tribute Auction and Show. 

Proceeds from the auction will support the Cartoon Art Museum’s operations and public programming as the board and staff prepare for CAM's grand reopening at 781 Beach Street in San Francisco later this summer. It’s a great space and the new museum is going to be better than ever, and I want thank all of you who have already supported us throughout our capital campaign.

The online auction will launch on May 15 on eBay, under the user account “cartoonartmuseum” and will continue with new pieces added bi-weekly throughout the summer. The Museum will publish a full color catalog collecting all of the artwork created for the auction, and an exhibition featuring all of the artwork alongside a selection of Mike Mignola’s Hellboy artwork is tentatively planned for display at the Cartoon Art Museum in fall 2017. We’re asking all winners to allow us to hang onto the art until the show is finished, then each piece will be shipped.

We want to thank Mike Mignola for graciously allowing us to use his property for the auction, and a special thanks to Felix Lu of Felix Comic Art and his artists for their generous contributions, along with Glen Gold and Allen Spiegel for making a few calls here and there on our behalf, as well as every single artist who contributed artwork for the cause.

In no particular order, we’ll have art from James Harren, Nick Dragotta, Harry Bliss, Patrick McDonnell, Cliff Chiang, Daniel Warren Johnson, Garry Brown, Ian Bertram, Kent Williams, Chris Mooneyham, Riley Rossmo, Jeffrey Brown, Stephen Green Sam Kieth, and Geoff Shaw. And we have commitments from many more that I don’t feel comfortable naming until I have the pieces in hand. All of the art we have to date can be seen on the Comic Art Museums CAF page, and we'll keep adding new pieces as we receive them.

 It’s for a good cause, and your contribution will go along way to making the museum great.

 Thank you in advance for any support you can give us.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone.

Thanks for those who bid on pieces last week. Your support is greatly appreciated.

We have three more auctions up this week. Starting with this amazing piece by Ian Bertram:

And this amazing Baba Yaga piece by Dave Crosland, entitled, "She has curious habits." Indeed she does.

Again, all proceeds go towards making the new Cartoon Art Museum an amazing place. We appreciate your support. Thanks to all artists who donated this week, and to Felix Lu and Mike Mignola for being upstanding citizens.

The auctions are doing well for the museum, thanks to everyone who has bid or is waiting for that piece they are interested in to come to auction.

Three great new pieces are up. Lots of bidding action near the ends of these, which I suppose is expected. Don't miss out on having a piece in the grand opening show, and in the show catalog. We're getting a lot of requests as to when a few of these will be auctioned. Keep watching here, or email us through CAF and we'll try to give you a heads up once they go live.

I missed last week. Got busy at work. The big winner was the James Harren piece, which was no surprise, there were many enquirers for that one. Thanks to all the bidders. This week, three great new pieces.

 

Hellboy by Stephen Green- Fun piece. Green is such a great draftsman. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-by-Stephen-Green-/152596162668?hash=item238770a86c:g:UQwAAOSwPK1ZTAn-

 

Hellboy bust by Lee Ballard-look at all the photos of this thing, it's exceptional. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-Lee-Ballard-sculpture-/152596167986?hash=item238770bd32:g:y9oAAOSwq~tZTAr8

 

Hellboy by Roger Landridge- "After Fuseli" This one is a lot of fun, and rendered amazing as well -http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-by-Roger-Langridge-/152596159852?hash=item2387709d6c:g:dagAAOSwXXxZTApx

Good luck, please bid big for us.

Three new pieces, and our last round before Comic Con. We'll resume the week after.

John Van Fleet- When I asked John do do an illustration for this, he said "you actually want me to get my hands dirty?" Johns been totally digital for years, so this is a rare opportunity to get an original from him. 

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-by-John-Van-Fleet/152613237705

Cliff Chiang- Another great commission from one of the Felix Comic Art artists. This one looks fabulous in person:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-by-Cliff-Chiang/152613237621

Tomas Hijo- Really cool scratchboard illustration. Again, in person, amazing. Scans don't do many of these justice.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hellboy-Cartoon-Art-Museum-auction-original-art-by-Tomas-Hijo/152613237124

Thanks for looking once again, and good luck.  Hope to see some of you at ComicCon. I'll be hanging around ASFA as usual.

John

This is our second to last auction. We've auctioned off 32 pieces in total this summer, and Kent and Mike Mignola's pieces close out our auction. Look for Mike's piece next week.

Kent just doesn't do comic art commissions like this anymore. This is the equivalent of one of his gallery pieces, it's large and really the scan does it no justice. This is a great buying opportunity.

The Bill Sienkiewicz piece still has not arrived—if it ever shows up, we'll offer it at a later date. Hopefully, he'll send it in time for the show. "Sorry" to those who were looking forward to it, I was too.
 
There will be a catalog that Ryan Graff and I are putting together, so if you didn't get a chance to own any of these great pieces, you'll have that. It's going to be a nice one.
 
Thanks to everyone who has bid on the auction. Our new space is going to be incredible, and your contributions have been greatly appreciated.
 
This painting is rendered in mixed media on bristol and measures 17" x 22".
