Q&A with Tim Meakins

Which piece in your gallery is your favorite and why?

My Rogue Trooper page by Kev Walker - fully painted in acrylics with an acetate overlay for the word balloons it's huge too, as he painted it for the old 2000AD format

Please tell us a little about yourself.

A fan of the medium since I was tiny - raised on a mixture of Asterix, Tintin, British weeklies and American imports

How long have you been collecting comic art and what prompted you to start?

I've been collecting art since the 1991 Glasgow Comic Art Convention (GlasCAC '91) - where as a young wide-eyed 17-year-old I spent most of my time in Artists Alley chatting to people like young up-and-coming Adam Hughes who drew me a Power Girl headshot - I came home with a bunch of sketches and an addiction for original art

How do you display/store your collection at home?

Mostly in portfolios, but I have about 20 frames around the house that I semi-regularly rotate the content of.

What are your top five most wanted original pages or commissions?

A Frank Cho Power Girl piece (ideally one of his "Outrage!" covers) An original Kevin O'Neill published page or cover A Dave Stevens original (if we're dreaming - the cover to DNAgents 24) An Amanda Conner Power Girl page or cover An Adam Hughes Power Girl commission (to bring it all full circle)
