Popular Post BCarter27 Posted January 1, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted January 1, 2020 (edited) Happy New Year, art-o-holics! Put away your Black Label and reach for the Boone's, because it's time for the Best of 2019... ...BUDGET EDITION! The year-end review where OA's 99-percenters have a shot at glory! Once again, this is not intended to compete with, but rather to supplement the CAF Best Of 2019. So be sure to post over there when they open for entries. Now in our glorious third year, Budget Edition is intended to show the breadth and quality of comic art that can be had for relative bargains. One year at NYCC, I asked a comic dealer if he had any original art. He replied, "Why? That's a rich man's hobby." I ignored his 5-figure Golden Age books and moved on, but his comment bothered me. So, my continual wish is that Budget Edition encourages new collectors to test the waters and then slowly slide into the deep end of this fun hobby. Enough hopes and dreams. Let's get to the RULES... RULES FOR ENTRY: Post ONE PIECE OF ART per reply. This is your entry. There are two categories: PUBLISHED and UNPUBLISHED. Type one of these at the TOP of your entry. Attach the image so that it shows in the reply. Type the artist and title-issue-page (if published). Don't include any info about how you acquired it or the piece's "story". Save that for your CAF. We don't want people swayed by your powerful prose. Let the art stand on its own. (However, you CAN link to the piece on your CAF so that people can read more about it there.) You cannot have paid more than $500 for the art. (Up from $400 last year because prices are through the darn roof! But I think $500 is still something most comics people could pull off in a month or two of patience and savings.) This price must include Buyer's Premium and Sales Tax. Shipping, handling, and insurance are not factored in. Convention entry fees are not relevant. No, we cannot verify your purchase price. We are on the honor system here. And let's leave off items that you acquired within a larger group purchase unless they were specifically itemized. Again, honor system! No more than THREE entries per person. (Mixing it up a little from last year's 8-piece limit.) You can post any combination of PUBLISHED or UNPUBLISHED as long as you do not post more than THREE pieces total. -- But again, only post ONE PIECE PER REPLY so we can vote properly. Illustration, game, movie, original animation, and merchandise art are all eligible. Color guides with original colors are eligible. Other all-stat or production pieces are not. You must have acquired the piece during 2019. If you paid for it, but it hasn't arrived yet, it is still eligible. VOTING: Voting opens as soon as a piece is posted! So post early to get more eyeballs on your piece. Click the LIKE button in the bottom right corner of the entries you like. You can LIKE as many entries as you want. Voting and entries will close January 6. Winners will probably be visible, but I will tally things up January 8 or 9 and post near the end of the thread. If you want to discuss the contest, please post in the other Discussion thread. Ideally, I'd like the art to stand alone here. OK, show me whatchu workin' with!
