Man don't get a much better Stroman Xfactor piece. Has all the hallmarks of his run from that era. And Art Thibert on inks! You should get him to fix the fading lines. Interestingly the original b/w pin up has all those blacks but the colored images all of them are missing the faded lines.

The contrast and cutieness of these sketches vs the violence in the comic is always a surprising turn of the brush from Kojima. Another lovely add to your collection. Congrats.

Congrats on getting such a great page. I especially loved these early pages where it is a bit less stylized - a bit - but full of all those great noir shadows. FYI there is a HUGE exhibition of his work on right now in the Cartoon art museum in Basel Switzerland. Definitely worth making the trip as they always put on an excellent show.

Great colouring! Totally a cover worthy commission!

Thanks, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out. Tried to keep the coloring in a typical loose feel Sean has on his work. And yes he definitely brought his "A" game on this commission. Very lucky with this one

How have I not left a comment on this? You know my love for Miginola, but still shame on me. Its a stunner of a page and I love all those silhouettes and that bottom panel with the background buildings is a show stopper. A gem for any Mignola collection.

Excellent Hellboy painting!! Awesome pickup. Will have to check out Fede's collection, thanks for the nudge.

Cool project and I enjoy seeing some of those process shots, nice job!

Thanks, it was a lot of fun to play with Sean's drawing. Glad you enjoyed the process shots. Being a process junkie myself I always try to share some behind the scenes work.

Three Shadows is pretty high on my list of perfect comics! Congrats!!!

The emotional rollecoster wrapped into this allegorical fantasy is next level for sure. (I know big words) and that is even before I talk about how masterful the art is. Very happy to have this. I saw a show of his originals not long ago and they were even better in person. When i saw the art for his new book the golden age, they were amazing, and it was a shame how they were colored. They are so much better in black and white. It really needs a black and white edition.

That must have been some first show experience at the Society of Illustrators! congrats on getting this one into the collection.

Was a great show. Farel won the gold medal and got to hang with him and Tomer and James Jean. AKA the Meathaus crew. Also talked to Jae Lee a bit and Jose Villarubia. Was a great show and I was proud to be a part of it. It was definitely a good way to showcase comic art as art back then. It was still not taken as seriously or as valuable as it is now. Here one of the pieces I got into the show. And the house on fire in the same gallery https://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=213463

Another little gem from Moebius. This card set really needs a nice big art book. So cool to see the line work and the final color. Congrats on the aquisition.

Tex is one of the best Punisher artists.  Great page from one of the all-time comic book greats.

His eatly 90's punisher and ghost rider had just the right energy and grit. I think his Punisher gets overshadowed by the Ghost Rider which is a same as IMO the punisher work is stronger.

Hard to "compete" against Fawcett's draftmanship. He was a master of his craft even with him being partly color blind.

Great sketch too!

Dan is a great draftsman so not surprised his sketch is strong too. He and I share a love for the turn of the century Simplicissimus artists and I like how he made this feel like a litho drawing from that era. You would probably like his drawings on location. https://www.zalkus.com/glenfiddich-distillery/

Excuse the completely unrelated to the artwork comment but your college photo references remind me of current Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly! Thanks for sharing the story and piece from your art school past.

Ha, I'll take the compliment. I don't know Gasly but can see the look, though In my old pics i really needed a haircut and to clean up the beard! Sloppy art school days!

Definately a cool and more affordable way to get some Moebius art and a great example of his approach to the coloring. Nice bid/win!

yeah I am pretty happy with this one. Its about 8x10 and was less than what most of those trading card color pieces over repro line art go for, and they are trading card size!

Nice pick up. Interesting to see all the faces have past ups, or were touched up. I know this is really early Lapham so I wonder if Shooter had a LOT of feeback on the visual acting. IMO turned out great especally for such an early job from Lapham. Congrats.

Killer FM Ronin page from issue 1 - huge congrats on this! Saw it in the CAF newsletter today under "Prominent New Artwork" which I assume was a mistake since you posted this back in 2007 ha but glad it surfaced so I could check it out more. 

I was wondering why I was getting so many new comments on this piece. Yeah have hard it for a long time, even gave a scan of it for the artist edition. It's definitely a corner stone of my collection. Ronin was probably the comic that most inspired me to pursue art as a career.

Thanks! Still amazed even 20 years later i own this, Granted I traded for most of the value of this page, but knowing what i know now I would have gone back and bought as many FM and Mazz born again pages I could.  Could never have imagined it would be worth 20X what i paid for it.
