Thanks Malvin, took forever, but it's amazing in hand. The picture is fairly horrible, having a hard time getting rid of the glare and the details keep washing out.

Added a couple of movie poster artworks to my CAF a short while ago:

'The Story of David', a 1961 sword-and-sandal movie starring Jeff Chandler in one of his last roles.

'Portnoy's Complaint', a 1972 sex-comedy starring Richard Benjamin.

Full write-ups and additional images are there for anyone interested in checking them out.

Nice pickup, Pete, and thanks for pointing out the Kickstarter on the comicart-l. Farlaine is a terrific series.

You're welcome. congrats on your page as well. that was one of my top choice, this was #2

I don't post a lot of new art, but this was pretty fun and unique and figured people may dig it - a classic 90s Venom by Erik Larsen, from the Marvel Universe Series 3 Card Set.

Pia was in Toronto for a show and with the help from a fellow original art collector I was able to add a couple of Y the Last Man pages to my collection. They just arrived and I am once happy camper!

Nice page with all the favorites

Half page splash of Ampersand

Thanks Jeff for your help!

A few hours ago I was lucky to win a She-Hulk #33 Super-Skrull cover by Mike Deodato Jr. (published in 2008) - I'm a great fan of Deodato's energetic covers, and I think this cover could be a great inspiration for a movie scene

You can see it here:

The published cover:

I'm really happy with this piece, commissioned from Ariel Olivetti.

I haven't really posted too much outside of the Marketplace Forum, but thought I would post some of the stuff I got done at Emerald City Comic Con.

Who did the Daenerys? That's a nice one.

Emanuella Luppachino ... she does some amazing work. I believe she is going to be drawing the new Supergirl comics. Thanks I just had it framed actually.

A few minor tweaks to my CAF page:

• A much improved scan of the OA for my Farlaine the Goblin page. Have you bought the book yet?
  
• The preliminary to my Echo print OA by Terry Moore was on ebay from the CBLDF (Comic Book Legal Defense Fund). I bid, but lost. Sigh... Still, I grabbed the image and added to my piece so you can see a bit about how Terry Moore works.
  
• I was contacted by Marcus Mebes - fan of Scott Shaw's Captain Carrot and his Amazing Zoo Crew. He asked if I'd let him digitally color the piece. I said sure why not. I think he did a great job of capturing the look of a 1960s comic book cover.
  
• Joe (Josef Rubinstein) completed (inked and colored) Bulldozer on my Sgt. Rock and Easy Company jam.

Last year at Comicpalooza, Joe colored Sgt. Rock and started Bulldozer (left most figure) when he discovered he had to catch a ride to the airport. Luckily for me, he was here this year for the Space City Comic Con.

This jam is looking good in my opinion. One last figure; who will I get? I don't know.

Other than some autographs, this is probably my only get from SPCC. They had some good guests (Thom Zahler, Joe, Matt Haley, Aaron Lopresti, Joe Jusko, and LIam Sharp), but I spent too much at Emerald City and Kickstarter. Sigh...

I was strong at SPCC. I went there to get Joe Rubinstein to finish a character on my Sgt. Rock piece and that was it!

I was determined to resist buying any other art because I've spent almost all of my budget for the year and Fan Days Dallas, Comicpalooza, and Amazing! Houston Comic Con are all in the near future.

But then Liam Sharp, new WW artist, showed me a Conan he'd done on-spec. It was excellent. So, since he had free time and made such a compelling case, I succumbed to his hard sell tactics, i.e., showing his work. Curses!

A few hours later, I have a new addition to my collection.

Watch Liam work on it in the Additional Images.

Just added a beautiful Joelle Jones Lady Killer splash page. There were very few splash pages in the series so I was very happy to be offered this one.

Lady Killer Splash

Finally snagged a vintage Starlin piece to call my own. I need a Strange Tales #181 9.8 with white pages that is nicely centered if anyone has one for sale.
