My Favorites

Comics saved my life. I have an eclectic and expansive taste for books and art. The first pages of Original Comic Art (OA) I acquired were pages from The Invisibles, Animal Man, and March (by Congressman John Lewis, Andrew Aydin, and Nate Powell) that resonated with me on a personal and philosophical level. They were pages that reminded me of ideas, experiences, and stories that I wanted to remember and remind myself of on a daily basis by covering my walls with them. Studying linguistics and semiotics in grad school only deepened my appreciation and admiration for comics, OA, and narrative art. My OA collection is mostly comprised of pages from stories and art that blew my mind and point me toward higher levels of consciousness. Those stories/books are often associated with labels like Modern, "Indie," Alternative, and Small Press. Learning more about the business side of comics and OA motivated me to find a way to give back to the artists and creators who inspired me and brought so much joy and connection into my life. In 2021 I created Higher Consciousness Collectibles (HCC) as a way to share proceeds with artists on secondary OA sales. We launched our online store in October of 2024. Please check out HCC's website if you'd like to learn more. We'd also be delighted to have you consign your art with us and share a portion of the proceeds with the artist who created the art. Happy Collecting!
