Yeah, cause I didnt' have the $500-800 at the time either Smile

So I bought a couple of those $20-$50 mini-paintings along with multiple art prints.. we even picked up one of Anh's stuffed animals she was selling.

I'd probably have to go with a sentimental favorite...the first page I ever bought and one of the only eBay bidding wars that I've ever won (or cared enough to bid waaay over what I wanted to pay to win):



There are others that I think are as good or better but that one is still my favorite or very close to the top depending on the day.

Later,
Brandon

Favorite has to be a pick by Maleev of Sam from Sam & Twitch sitting on his couch, talking on the phone and picking at a hole in his sock...got not only the inked version of it, but a pencil sketch of it in the same frame...it's breathtaking!

I also love my Gaydos pic from Alias...one of the infamous "Speedball" pages!

I don't have a lot, but I love em all!

In terms of actual pages, I have a Bagley page from the UM Team Up final book w/Spidey swinging around, do loops in air, etc.

It competes with my first page of comic art which is a page from Busiek's and Immomen's Superstar. Lots of action on the page, with a monster's tentacle thrown in also. Almost nobody probably remembers that one shot but I liked it and I love the page elements.

I have a Pat Oliffe spidey page from the old untold tales book where he's fighting the original black knight.

I have pg 5 from Cam Stewart's back up story in Tales of the Vampire #1 that just came out. It's the first page i have ever bought, but I love it. Got great service from Mark Hayes at splashpageart.com too.

My most treasured is undoubtedly my Steve Bissette cover art for Mr Monster #3 from Eclipse. I became a huge fan of Michael T Gilbert's monster killin' madman soon after I started working in a local comic shop. It's a great book and Gilbert has a deep love for golden and silver age schlock (which influenced me to learn and read as much about the early days of the art form as I can). Bissette is also another artist who I feel very strongly about; I am a huge fan of all the obscure work he did for Eclipse and his imprint SpiderBaby Grafix (yet I still have to pick up his Swamp Thing work!).
OK, so about a year and half ago I'm working in the shop one Friday and this middle age guy is poking about the store. He asks me if we have any coverless golden or silver age books cheap. I have a hearty laugh about this explaining if there were anything like that they would have been snapped up by myself or my co-workers in a flash. I felt I my laughter may have been a wee bit overenthusiastic (I never wanted to be the unapproachable comic book guy!) so I started to chat the fellow up. He mentions he's a cartoonist (and inwardly I may have rolled my eyes thinking perhaps he does caricatures for tourists) so I bite and ask what he does. "Have you ever heard of Mr. Monster?"
I thought I had been hit in the face with a shovel - "You're Michael T Gilbert!" I did the whole fanboy gush and then found myself speechless. Mr. Gilbert being the class act that he is, recognized that Mark here had blown a fuse and needed some quiet time to replace it. He excused himself and said he drop back in an hour or so.
I inhaled a few cigarettes and started to mellow out than frantically searched the store for the perfect books for him to sign. The owner, Grant had a good laugh about my behaviour but I didn't care. It's always a strange thing to meet somebody who appeals to a very specific aspect of your personality. Anyways, found some cool books and sure enough the man came back.
I was now prepared to speak to him like a real person and we chatted over some boxes of old comics for the next 2 hrs. He had lots of great anecdotes - how he ate Will Eisner's dessert; Alan Moore, his wife and her girlfriend; and one about Steve Bissette that I found particularly interesting. I mentioned how much I liked his work and the cover he did for Gilbert. He shook his head and explained how Bissette just about pooched that book. Now Bisette had a reputation for being slow or late, but MTG nevr anticipated that he would not receive the cover artwork until the very last day the book could be printed. Had him shitting bricks until it showed up.
Anyhoo, it was a magical day (swoon!) I got some great books signed.
About a month later I'm doing my usual search for Bissette artwork on Ebay. Bissette retired from the industry 5 or 6 years ago now, and I had been looking for a piece that wasn't Swamp Thing.
And then there she was...
the very cover artwork that Michael and I had chatted about.
I had to possess it - and I did! For a very reasonable $250 Canadian (all told). All I need to do now is shell out the cash to frame it.
So that's my story folks....you should be so lucky as to find something this special for yourself - believe me - it's out there!

I only have two...

a Steven Butler piece from a back up story in an Uncanny X-men annual... Blob, Pyro and a few others...

The other is a page from a Wildstorm Star Trek book...

I'm not much of an art collector, as I've got five star eyes and a buffet budget... both of those cost me exactly 5.00 each.

I much rather collect sketches...

I'd say the one from Torso where they're putting up pics in the station..

Although, the one I got from POWERS where Conan Christian Walker meets up with some armored woman is a close runner up.

I'd like to get an original page from Mack, I only have one of those mini-paintings of his right now.

i almost bought an original page from David, they were sitting next to some prints that he had. A sign said 2 for $20 so i was like badass! i picked up 2, and handed his wife $20..alas, it was only for the prints, his original art is kinda expensive..like $500-$800 expensive, but its real beautiful! like all the collages and actual pieces he user and everything are on there, and their on this huge board. really good looking stuff but to rich for my blood. does that make sense?


yea i got prints too....this coming year i will buy art though....i've got a savings club set up for it so come next mid-ohio i will have 1000 to buy original art with....i'm going to get a Mack page first and foremost and then buy other stuff IF i have cash left from the Mack page!!!

Now there IS one piece I want very badly.

Sal and the Cactus Fusion guys did a short story for the next Potlatch book about a child with autism... the first page has a dedication to me, Tonia and the boys. I dont care how much is cost, one day I will own it.

What a great topic thread you have going here. I'll throw in some of my favorite art pages that I own from other artists.
(And SDFAIN, that sounds like a great idea that I encourage. Smile And you have good taste!)

I've been collecting art for over ten years and I have a pretty cool collection of Kabuki art from other artists. Here are some of my faves:


-I have that great Kabuki parody page that Oeming drew in the Oni color special thing that Bendis wrote. The one where they ape and distort my "style". (Bizarre to own a piece of art where the artists is doing "your style").

-I have a great Kent Williams Kabuki painting. (He kept the pencil rough of it and presented it in his LA art show, and said it was the first to sell!)

-The Kabuki cover by Alex Ross, where he painted over my pencils.

-The 1993 Kabuki pages penciled by Bendis! I will be including these in the back of Kabuki- The Alchemy #1. They have never before been published.

-Lots of great Andy Lee art! His Chinese brush work of Kabuki, and some of his drawings of me and various things.

-A chinese style Brush painting by Jon Muth of my Girlfriend Anh!

-Kabuki painting by Paul Pope.

-Kabuki painting by Scott Morse.

-a Kabuki cover and a Scarab cover penciled by Joe Quesada.

-Kabuki penciled and inked by MIGNOLA!

-I have a pen drawn STERANKO mock up of the Kabuki cover he painted! I've loved Steranko since I was 10! He doesn't want to part with the actual Kabuki painting yet, but said if he decides to he will give me first dibs!

-Jill Thompson Kabuki painting of Kabuki as a kid!

-Kabuki painting by Greg Spalenka!

-Kabuki painting by Colleen Doran.

-Kabuki inked Manga style on Japanese comic book page from lovely Japanese artist TOMOKO SAITO!

-Snap Dragon painting by DAVE JOHNSON over Oeming’s drawing.

-Snap Dragon inked drawing from Oeming from the first time I met him in 94. He just walked right up to my table and gave me this amazing drawing! Then we hung out after the store signing and became great friends.

-Tiger Lily painting by Andrew Robinson.

-Ice pages penciled and inked by Dave Johnson that he drew for Kabuki-Masks of the Noh! These are amazing.

-P.Craig Russell Kabuki in colored pencils!

-Gabriel Dell'Otto drawing! He sent this to me last Christmas of Me and my girlfriend Anh AS Daredevil and Kabuki with our masks off!

-Mike Allred Kabuki

-James O'barr Kabuki at grave stone in duo-shade board. Classic Crow style. He also gave me an Elektra he drew and colored, when he suggested that I write an Elektra story for him to draw.

-Inked Kabuki by Jae Lee!

-Kabuki painting and B/W study for it by Ray Lago.

-Inked Ice by Adam Warren.

-Kabuki painting and Scarab brush inked by Dan Brereton.

-Ice by Guy Davis painted by Vince Locke. Also a Butoh Painted by Vince Locke.

-The Powers page of Detective David Mack that Oeming gave me!

-Rick Mays Kabuki and Scarab pages! I have a ton of Rick Mays artwork spanning the last ten years and showing his changes in style of each period. I love Rick's art a lot. I buy from him the entire issue of each and every Scarab issue. I keep the pages most personal to me, and then I re-sell many of the other pages. His work is a Gem.


Collecting art is fun! Those are some of the faves off the top of my head. I love to look at them! And I love getting new art by amazing artists!

My favorite is from Mark Smylies fantasy series ARTESIA. Its a full page of Artesia performing an execution and its one of THE pivotal moments in the story. I really love his art, the page is framed on my wall along with several others from his pin up set. Despite the somwhat gory action taking place its really quite beautifull and always gets comments from comics and non-comics people alike.

Mark Smylie is a really nice guy and easy to talk to at conventions, Also his art is fairly inexpensive (compared to bigger names). Get some while its still a bargain, you can see some of it at his website Daradja.com.

If you like Sword and Sorcery stories and haven't tried ARTESIA, do yourself a favor and check it out.


Next favorite would be the small portrait ANDY LEE did of my girlfriend and I at the DragonCon a few years ago. It was during a panel discussion with him and David Mack, Andy drew everyone in the audience within the hour. We have that one framed also. Andy paid me a great compliment that day associated with drawing us, He told me I was fun to draw because I had "SuperHero Hair." How cool is that?
