Comic Art

Another gem from the NYCC: my second Tommy Lee Edwards The Question cover.  I really enjoy the style and feel of these covers.  I asked him if there would be another Toronto convention appearance but it soundn’t like it wouldn’t happen.

Picked up three more Tony Harris pages at NYCC.  I’m a big fan of blacks and different page arrangements.  I was glad to have a Harris Iron Man page since that was where he started his current art style.  I finally found him at his booth on Sunday morning and went through a big pile of pages trying to choose what I could afford to buy.  He’s very friendly but wouldn’t commit to a Toronto con appearance this summer.

More treasures from New York.  Two consecutive Coipel Avengers pages: I liked the quality of the work and the price was right.  The Artist’s Choice art dealer was set up in Artist Alley at the NYCC so I picked up a few gems.  They had a lot of reasonably priced material at the show; wish I could say the same for the Albert Moy and Graphic Collectibles booths. 

I attended the NYCC last month. It was mostly a big budget affair with about twenty comic dealers selling expensive books. Lots of corporate presence everywhere. Artist alley was in a separate section and was well stocked. About half the artists appeared at some point Friday night, but I did catch the full group on Sunday and picked up a bunch of pages. As well major art dealers were present, and while most pages were high end I did get some deals.

I finally acquired a Darwyn Cooke page.  Even though he hasn’t done a lot of work Darwyn’s pages are ni the high end of the page price range.  I have yet to see a single page show up on eBay. 

Back from the 2007 New York Comic Convention.  I arrived early on Friday and J.P. Leon was the first artist I saw that I wanted a sketch from.  He inks all convention commissions and has a very dark style that I really enjoy.
