The OFFICIAL "This week in your ORIGINAL ART collection?" 37 37

[Grant Turner]

I’m very excited about this.  I am a huge Doctor Strange fan, but having recently modified my OA collection to consist of only first, early, or key Silver Age Marvel appearances, I assumed I was out of luck (what little Ditko stuff that’s out there is too rich for my blood!)

So to stumble upon a Marvel Feature 1 page, the first appearance of my favorite 70’s squad, with Doctor Strange, was a dream come true.

Anthony had it on his website and I think I snagged it within 2 hours of the posting.

extra added bonus, it’s inked by Bill Everett, who I’ve very much wanted to add to my collection

The subject matter is not comic related, but the artist is, so I hope nobody minds. This is a piece by Timothy Truman of Grimjack, Scout, Jonah Hex, and Grateful Dead Comix fame.

It's called "Steal Your Bison", a play on the famous Steal Your Face Grateful Dead logo. I acquired it from our very own @Bird and am extremely grateful (no pun intended). Thanks Bird!

That's a fabulous piece of art Ryan @Foley

 

The one from Bird aint bad either

Again, not comic related, but since I already hijacked the thread with some Grateful Dead content, I'd like to show this off too. 

I had noticed a bunch of really nicely done street art in Cork City (murals on electrical boxes, article here: https://madaboutcork.com/gallery/street-art-electrical-boxes/) so I deciphered a signature off one of them and contacted the artist, Vincent Zara, and asked if he would do a portrait of Jerry Garcia for me. He said he would, then I didn't hear from him for 7 months so I kind of wrote it off. Then I got an email saying it was done, even though we never even discussed any particulars (including the price)  I'm new to this but I get the feeling artists can be a bit flakey? Thankfully it actually exceeded my expectations and the cost was very reasonable. The image doesn't really do it justice, it's much nicer in person. It's of the type that looks better from a distance than it does up close.

Somebody else's too, the "man" where the art always lands...

[MagnusX]

True.

For me is interesting to watch
the old business model from established dealers
versus new ones.

Felix could easily give a lesson or two to the man or the brothers
about selling OA...

I know recreations are not that popular around here but I could not resist one of my favorite covers re done by the original artist Ron Wilson for about the price of a con head sketch...
