I know he sells Empowered pages because I saw him selling them last year at SDCC. It's just a matter of getting in touch with him to get them.

I really really want a page from Supergirl from Mahmud Asrar, were can I get one?

Please don't buy one of the ones I want :ohdear:

Wow that Mary Jane is incredible. I love that type of styling, and I have never seen anything by that artist before. Definitely going to try and get something from him now

RevKrule I am looking through your CAF gallery now, you really have some really nice stuff. It's getting me motivated to start getting art again


e: I am so jealous you have Bruce Timm stuff! He is the one guy I've wanted for so long that has eluded me :(

Timm does great $100 head sketches at cons (he's been at SDCC for at least the past 3 years) but you have to get there first thing in the morning and be sure to pick it up at the end of the day. Otherwise that's pretty much the quality you get. Fast but very incredibly well done.

He also does full body color commissions for SDCC through his art dealer (albertmoy.com). I almost choked when I saw the price ($1250) for an 8.5x11. I'm happy with the head shots.

Thanks for the words about my collection. I'm a sucker for trying to get just rising people or alt artists. I'd love a Paul Pope piece but it's like getting a Kirby in some circles. The Skottie Young pieces were done a couple years ago, well before his baby Marvel covers skyrocketed. I love the McKelvie page I got (from Siege: Loki), it's shows off his style exceptionally with making sexy but not exploitative. It's got Mephisto with mutton chops and it's got Loki.

I still have a couple pages and such that aren't up there. Honestly, there are comics I enjoy to read but I love owning art. I love having a piece of art that's just stunning to look at. It's such a rush for me to get a package from an artist or dealer and open it up and for the first time, get a hard look at the details of a piece. Or discussing with an artist on a piece and watching it go through process until it's finished.

I'm the same way when it comes to art. I try to look for people who can draw women well, because I feel like that means their overall quality of work is higher. Of course that's a subjective thing, but I definitely have a style I prefer and most people don't draw that way. It's also a nice surprise to run across people I have not seen before who fit what I am looking for.

I didn't know Timm did his head sketches for so cheap, but too bad I'll probably never make it out to SDCC :(

The first year I learned he was at SDCC, I didn't even run across him until Saturday afternoon. Obviously he was already booked up and he never shows up on Sunday. I made it a mission to get him first thing the next year but it was one hell of a long year.

Edit: Also, his head shots are an open secret. I've seen them go on ebay for 2x the price easy which is a little weird to see knowing what they cost. It's the same with Adam Hughes head shots. I got a batgirl head shot from him, super rough, obviously con sketch quality but it just cost a donation of any amount to one of his causes. You check ebay and people will pay over $100 for them.

I really want a color commission from him but I just don't have the money now. Some day though :allears:

Right now I really want something from Lynne Yoshi, and theres a couple pages I have been eying as well. I'd like to get something from Jackie Santiago again but it seems like she has dropped off the face of the earth with real life stuff since I last heard from her. Too bad, the triple Jean Grey piece she did for me was astounding

NYCC 2013 was pretty awesome as usual. Went a little easy this year on the acquisitions, and mostly hit up less well known artists, and kept it mostly in the $30-$60 range. Here's the highlights:

For my Mr. Freeze Collection:

Katie Cook - she's real nice, and does these for $5:


Nathan Massengil:


Gary Browne:



Lynne Yoshi Wonder Woman:


Marcio Takara Enchantress and Loki - this was actually a pre-convention piece:


Russell Dauterman Dr. Strange (he does the comic Supuerbia, which is ok, but his commission were excellent):


Joe Haley & T.J Dort Scarlet Witch:


Only Splurging I did was on this Neil Adams Conan:


There was some great pieces in the charity auction this year, but nothing that really caught my eye. I did however get this piece from Rodney Reis:


Unfortunately, I didn't have more then $9,000 to spend to try and get the Adam Hughes Captain Marvel he did for the auction, but it was pretty impressive to see in person.

I'm super jealous of the Lynne Yoshi piece. I've had my eye on getting something from her for a while now

I hadn't heard of her before, but found her while I was wandering around artist alley early on Thursday. She had a pretty short list, and a really reasonable price, so I jumped on it. She also had a couple of her own personal sketch books with her which were neat to look at - it was pretty cool looking at her progression over time.

I ran across her stuff a couple months back, I think, maybe longer now, she is really good.

I've got that art itch again, anyone get anything new lately? Also, where have you guys been buying pages from? I only know a few places but the more to sift through the better

e: gninjagnome I am so jealous of that Mera you have from Bruce Timm :argh:

I think it was Artist Choice who I had emailed about a page before and the guy told me I had to have two backup pages or he wouldn't check to see if he still had it because :effort:

This just is ultra annoying. It's not that hard to setup a quick database with a front end to keep track of your inventory. In fact, it's almost vital to any business that wants to stay around.

I understand that a lot of the people who've been in the original art game have been doing it well before the internet but holy poo poo do some of these places have antiquated systems. "Mail me a check" I haven't done that poo poo since I started buying just bullshit on ebay back in 98/99.

Also, I have a Walking Dead page I kinda want to get rid of but kinda don't because I haven't put any effort into actually finding a way to sell it. It's from the prison era and has zombies on it (a rarity from that time). It's not the greatest page and honestly, I think I only got it because of the coming Walking Dead bubble at the time.

He wouldn't do an in person pick up either, which sucks cause he is in CT and I could drive there and pay him in person and not have to pay for shipping. It's always amusing when people selling things make it difficult for you to give them money, especially when you are the one who started the inquiry

This is super late but that Batgirl piece is amazing and I'm a little jealous!

I have a page from his time on the Stephanie Brown Batgirl series, but I do want more of his stuff. He's very good


I'm also starting to get the itch for getting new pieces hard, thinking about it now it's been quite a while since I have gotten anything at all

Those of you who have gotten things from Chrissie Zullo, was it hard? I remember talking to her at a convention before but this was two years ago and I have no idea what she said. I'm guessing I'd have to get in touch with her now to get something at BCC later this month?

Thanks to gninjagnome for picking this up for me. A pre-show commission by Mahmud Asrar of Nurse Joy. He is one of my favorite artists and I've gotten a few things from him before. He was gracious enough to squeeze me in at the end of his list and I'm glad he did cause he did a fantastic job on this IMO

drat you. If I had known that's who you were getting I'd have tried myself for something! Although now that he's changed art dealers, maybe he'll do some shipped commissions.

Either way, really really awesome piece.
