Love the camelot page.  This comic was a big deal back in the day and the Bolland art still looks amazing today!  

Not a walking dead fan - but am a tony moore fan. Love the expressions!

Congrats.

My wife and I are big fans of Jessica Cruz/Barry Allen relationship going on in JL right now. I seen this pop up on ebay and grabbed it quick. Key moment in their relationship so I wanted to us to have it.

Not exactly new this week (maybe new five years ago) but earlier on today I was sorting through artwork to re-scan for CAF and I came across some artworks a local friend had gifted me.  I've not posted this one before . . .

Also found these two last week . ;. .

I loved  Babylon 5!  Too bad it's not on re-runs right now (don't tell me to stream it, I just watch whatever is on TV and don't chase after shows)

Here's another piece of art I unearthed this past week.  My friend, Liverpool artist Bill Naylor, painted this DAN DARE cover in 1998. It was commissioned and used to front a small print-run fan story. I think it was called, 'The Androids of Thanos', or something?

I was thinking Gorn too, but the size is off.  It's huge compared to the Predator head. 

Thank for the help though, I am still trying. 

Goofy top middle.  You're welcome

Been a while, but here's some recent pages:

2 Akira Colourised pages from Steve Oliff
Scott Pilgrim by Bryan Lee O'Malley
God Country by Geoff Shaw
Paper Girls by Cliff Chiang. 
 

 

 

 

Stunning God Country page, absolutely stunning. Great pick up man. I came to that book way too late to ever get art but at a time were I really needed to read it in my life. Congrats.

Added a couple of pieces that fit the trophy wall theme.

One was through heritage auctions, and the other was a commission piece. 

First is Richard Pace's "Harvey Dent's & Two Face's Trophy Room" I did a nice write up of how Richard and I arrived at the composition for the piece and the various thematic elements.

The other was from a Heritage Auction, but fit nicely into the theme.

Giorgio Comolo's "Space Game Hunter". 

http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1449542

I've identified most of the trophies in this piece, if you can spot the ones I missed please include information in the comments, I'd appreciate the help as some of these are on the tip of my tongue but I can't place them. That's the danger of picking up a trophy room that I didn't have a hand in creating.

 

These are beautiful. The Harvey Two-Face Trophy Room has such an incredible design. The Space Hunter is just wow. Both are perfectly executed. Thank you for sharing.

1st of 3 big scores set in motion for this year. ASM Ditko battle action page. CAF comments appreciated!

I find it unbelievable that no one on this board has commented on this Ditko Spider-Man page. It is a beautiful page with Spidey in action in every panel. What does it take to impress the board members?

I did find myself reading the page when it was posted, it is pretty awesome @Timely

My wonderful wife, Kathy, bought me a simple spectacular 35th wedding anniversary present. It took a while to create, but Yale Stewart of the JL8 webcomic nailed it.

 

This piece is a JL8-style version of the Silver Age Legion of Super-Heroes, my favorite comic team. If you click the link and read the description, you'll learn who is who and what's going on.

Just bought a nice Conan the Barbarian page by John Buscema and Ernie Chan - written by Roy Thomas, letters drawn by Joe Rosen:

http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1451423

Guess nostalgia is to blame for this purchase - the page is from the very first Conan book I read  - I probably was about 10 years old back then

I just bought my first piece of straight pencil work (off the Comic Link auction) for all of $215, including shipping, taxes and commission. The moodiness is wonderful.

I'm thinking of a little project to go with it. While I would never want an inker to touch the original, particularly since Clark is dead, I was thinking of finding an inker who could ink a blue line of it. Then, get some fake decals and place them on the blue line for a "what could have been." 

What makes me curious, however, is what would an inker do to this? The grey shading variations which can be achieved with a pencil stand out here. Ink isn't "shade friendly", and I'm not sure that the essence of the piece can be preserved by an inker.

Jeff Huet comes to mind. Ask him or another inker to make it his own rather than just going over the original lines. Have them lightbox it from a scan you send. You don't want all that blue all over it that will show through after.

Maybe Jeff de los Santos or Mike Perkins too.

My latest acquisitions : a Mighty Samson #1 variant cover and a Catwoman pin-up from Pat Olliffe.

Chew got me back into reading comics after over a decade, and looking up Rob Guillory's web page introduced me to OA for the first time.  Feels good to be able to get this page from him.
