Not sure if there is a thread like this going but I am always picking up original art and love seeing other peoples collections and latest pick ups.
I'll start her off with two pieces winging their way to me from Mr Dayglo:
JUDGE DREDD - 2000AD PROG 33 PG 10 - IAN GIBSON:

I hope they are going to be framed and on display in your abode ;)

Holy Crap! Outstanding collection!
I recently put some stuff up on there, heres my whole 2000AD art collection, got some MGS Ashley Wood stuff on here too:
http://www.comicartfans.com/my/GalleryRoom.asp?GSub=97852
The link isn't working,it takes you into the part of comicartfans site where you edit your gallery !!
Ah crap, sorry dude, try this:
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=48226
Some lovely pages,really like your Ian Gibson Dredd pages !! you can see my collection at...... www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=25204
I am so jealous of all your art collections that it literally makes me sick!
To just imagine owning all those works of art and having them on display in custom frames...
And to think i passed on buying loads of SB Davis' artwork at Bristol comic-con many years back when most of it was going for about £20-30 as i was too embarrassed to go up to him. :(
AAAAHHHHH! Want them! They look good on your wall.
My latest page is one I'm very, very happy with.
Prog 180:

I'll get round to sticking what I have on Comicartfans before long (Colin Wilson on Rogue and Dredd, Cam on Rogue and The V.C.s, Gibson Robo-Hunter, this Strontium Dog page, Redondo Future Shock page on the way...)
:D
I met Colin Wilson at the Melbourne Sopanova last month. He did an original Dredd illustration for me. I scanned it in, cleaned it up a bit and applied my own colours using Photoshop.

Now I love Colin Wilson's work (ask Royd) but that Dredd... Looks like one of the actors Cal lined up to play Dredd, if you know what I mean. Still, nice catch! :D

That looks great, love the inks you have done a sweet job on that :)
Nice Wilson sketch.
I love seeing original artwork from early 2000AD as well. I've got a couple of nice McMahon early Ro-Busters pages, it's like being a custodian of a piece of history.
I'll try and sort out some pictures.

Hey that's awesome there Puggfella. I recall saying something similiar when it popped up on DevArt a couple of light years ago.

Ahh so you did. Thanks for the comments. Glad everyone is liking my colours. Someday I need to finds a picture frame for the artwork. I also got Colin to sign a 2000AD issue. I think it's Prog 1175. I've also got to get that framed.
Man Colin wilson is great. What I wouldn't give for a Dredd mets Blueberry comission...

Agreed.
I think Royd handles all Colin's commissions and original art sales now? try and get in touch with him, he's on the forum.
When I got my commission I was lucky enough to catch Colin when he was waiting for Star Wars Invasion to kick in, I imagine he's pretty busy now. Though it's great to have a Star Wars story with one artist doing all the artwork.
Steven
Royd does indeed sell art on Colin's behalf and can also arrange for sketch commissions to be done, so drop him a line if you're interested folks. (If you need his email address, just p.m. me).
I need to take some better pictures of the Colin Wilson pages I have, but here's the Dredd one (from the 1981 Sci-Fi Special):

I have always been a fan of Colin Wilsons beautiful art especially on JD but i do feel that he is a little bit underrated and never gets mentioned or name-dropped as much simply because he was not as prolific or featured as much as Ron Smith for example but in my mind he is up there with the Ron Smiths and Brian Bollands etc as i rate his work that highly.
I dont know very much about him either.
He's done a lot of work in Europe.
A translation of 'Du Plomb Dans Le Tete' - 'Bullet to The Head' is out very soon.
Story by Matz (The Killer), I've been waiting for it for ages,
Steven
...and there was an interview with him in Meg 284.
I am not exactly the most well read fan on the board but thanks for your pointers as its good to know he is still working in the business.I only know his work from reading the JD crime files in 1981 !
Plus he drew my favorite Future Shock in Prog 225.
He's also been active on Dredd in the Meg fairly recently, which has been great!
Love that sci fi special page Ming!
Another couple of pages - one more Colin Wilson, one Jesus Redondo.
Redondo's one of those artists that I didn't appreciate that much as a kid (like Ron Smith, Casanovas, Ortiz, etc.) but absolutely love now. Anyway, a Future Shock page from Prog 286:
(http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/9596/prog286.th.jpg) (http://img709.imageshack.us/i/prog286.jpg/)

Sweet scores there Ming.
Heres one of my latest:
Prog 297:
(http://i893.photobucket.com/albums/ac132/BOON_DAWG/73d1a4f7.jpg)
Heh, that is a beauty. You should stick it in the Cam Kennedy thread as well (around here somewhere); you'll have people hating you in no time ;)
Got any more lined up?
I'm slowing down a bit, or trying to...
Yeah trying to mate, especially with 3A Gathering coming up etc.
I thought you were all set after that parking incident at the cash machine up your way recently? ;)
Anyway, Beijing will be a blast and there'll be more original 2000AD art there than has been seen in one place for a long time, I'd imagine. Poor Rufus having to pack all that lot!
Robo Hunter Prog 265, Ian Gibson:

I've updated my CAF gallery with a few new bits and pieces...
Added a better pic of the Bryan Talbot Nemesis page, plus a couple of new Ace Trucking pages and a Gibson Dredd (Full Mental Jacket).
(http://www.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_48189/subcat_99163/Prog501_.JPG)
Superb Talbot piece. I loved his run on Nemesis.

That is an excellent page and it works wonderfully as a stand alone piece too.
I've purchased some original 2000ad artwork over the past few years, directly from artists or on ebay. I believe that the pieces bought from some of the artists are original as I have signed confirmation's that it is their work...but..there are a couple of pieces in particular I suspect could be scammed artwork and am interested in your views on both of these items. One is an apocalypse war double spread by Ezquerra and the other is a black and white Judge Death 2000ad cover by Frazer Irving. Any relevant info on any of this or related original toothy artwork would be much appreciated. Cheers
mac W -
I actually posted this about 4 years ago...meant to come back and check reply threads but got sidetracked somewhat. Again if any of you guys can help it would be appreciated. I can scan some of the artwork at home but I'd need to get the professionals to do the bigger stuff...any recommendations. Cheers Mac W
Alas, not as many pieces as i should have. But here you go:

Nice Johhny page there.....
The detail in it is pretty amazing. So much of it is lost in the printing process. I've wanted a page of Johnnys from The Two Torquemadas ever since it disturbed the hell out of me as a child :D
Is that,.. is that Judge Proudfoot I see hanging there? sob!
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/o1s1n/DSC00012-1.jpg)
If it is can I ask where you got it and if the page with his badge on display is/was available?

I think I bought it from Silver Acre. Didn't see any more pages from Justice 1 at the time though. :(
Recently hung this on the wall. Has some lovely Tom Frame lettering too -
(http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a399/o1s1n/DSC_0184.jpg)
Thanks o1s1n, sob, my namesake and he lasted about a page!
I've been lucky enough to pick up some nice pages lately (including a McMahon Cursed Earth page).
One of the best of the bunch is this Fabry page from Slaine the King.
(http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/9057/prog51725.th.jpg) (http://img706.imageshack.us/i/prog51725.jpg/)
I just got a package in the mail from Cam Kennedy as well, but I'll save those for the Cam Appreciation thread!
:D
The art hunt continues... a bit more slowly now!
Latest finds - a McCarthy page from Riders on the Storm and this one from Atlantis; two of my favourite Dredd stories. Lovely to see the master of the flary-helmet and wacky Tek-Judge and I really can't wait to see Brendan back on Dredd!

Cam Kennedy's original art for the 1st page of Rogue Trooper: Colonel Kovert - Part 4. Prog 353 I think, so 1984?
Quote from: NeilFord on 01 November, 2010, 11:39:28 AMColonel Kovert - Part 4. Prog 353 I think, so 1984?
Yep - 28th January, 1984.
I did have to look that up.
Great, great page!
My collecting is slowing down, mainly because of the brain-melting cost of some of the pieces I've been looking at lately. Hard to justify, despite how much I long for some of these pages... What a horrible, lovely habit! :D
EDIT: Neil, there's a Cam Kennedy thread here:
http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,26974.0.html
Cheers Ming, what a grand collection you have, I'm very jealous! ;) thanks for the Cam link, what a thoughtful thing to do for Cam in his retirement.
Some more McCarthy goodness is heading my way soon...

From Riders on the Storm, one of the best Dredd stories ever for me. I'm still trying to track down a page from Oz and The Witness (the latter scared the crap out of me as a kid)... One day. I do love Brendan's art.
:)
Great find.
Superb art.
So... envious...
That's a great page, that image of Dredd in the rain is an absolute classic.
Cor!
Thanks folks. I wasn't chasing this and it wasn't really for sale, but got chatting with the owner (who bought it from Brendan 25 years ago) and one thing led to another. Took Brendan 20 minutes to do this page, apparently :o
20 minutes? That's just... I mean, it's.... I mean....
Speechless!
What a fascinating thread!
I don't have any original comic artwork (although I do have the original artwork to an LP called 'Grotesque' by The Fall) but I do recall seeing some for sale in a poster shop near Piccadilly Circus in London about 10 years ago. All too expensive for me at the time but I remember there being a Carlos Ezquerra 2000AD cover for sale with the old curved 'Featuring Judge Dredd' logo. It seemed odd at the time that the text (logo, price, blurb, etc) had all been glued on by hand rather than being done on a computer.
Does anyone know what ever happened to the Judge Death Lives artwork? Has any of it ever turned up for sale?
Quote from: WhizzBang on 02 April, 2011, 09:37:47 PM
Does anyone know what ever happened to the Judge Death Lives artwork? Has any of it ever turned up for sale?
Yup. Some is still available, probably more tucked away to be released later. Prices are very high for Bolland, and for Judge Death stuff especially so.
A page (the Peanut Park scene from JDL) went to $3,500-ish on eBay a week or so back (less than expected). Joseph Melchior sells art on behalf of Brian, but those prices are crazy $15 up to 25K per page, as far as I know). Check CAF.

Droids had to do everything by
hand back in the 80's.
Amazing stuff!

Very nice !,can't go wrong with McMahon robusters ! i had a page myself but swapped it for one of his cursed earth pages
Cheers, the main thing I love about those pages is the big build up 'The Angels of Death' get along with that amazing full page image. It makes you think "Wow, we're in for an epic space ship battle here, with lots of explosions and lots of... ...oh their all dead" :D
People who think I already have too much McCarthy artwork should look away now.
Although not out until May, seeing as this image has popped up on The Strangeness and Bleedingcool, I think it's safe to post this page now... (thanks to Wake for this one!)

Yeah Wake said a couple had been reserved! :(
The B&W is class, well done Ming.

I picked up these two at UKCAC in the early 90's
The Bolland page has a faint pencil drawing of judge Fear on the back.
I keep fighting the compulsion to start collecting 2000ad art again but I know if I start it will be hard to stop. COD folks COD.

I've got to say - I love Brendan McCarthy's drawings, but I really don't like his colours at all. I
much prefer the uncoloured grey wash version.
Is this a photocopy?

(http://img859.imageshack.us/img859/5975/prog6618.jpg) (http://img859.imageshack.us/i/prog6618.jpg/)

(http://img690.imageshack.us/img690/9232/prog46622sm.jpg) (http://img690.imageshack.us/i/prog46622sm.jpg/)
I should also take the opportunity to again point people in the direction of the Cam Kennedy appreciation thread: http://www.2000adonline.com/forum/index.php/topic,26974.0.html
I'd comment more on this glorious thread except that the vile bitter bile I'd spit out through clenched teeth would only serve to expose how earth shattering jealous I am of all those stupendous works of wonder you all own...
All this talk of The Lord Of Misrule gave me a hankering to have another page from it.
So here, courtesy of Dale, we go:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Mangamax/0cl-1.jpg)
Not much going on, but its lovely, lovely work. That fine line work is SO fine, done by the looks of it in one go as there's no correction fluid at all.
Up close, it looks like Clint used a very, very fine airbrush splatter nib to achieve tiny mottling effects to the trees, brickwork and (very tiny here) the ends of the chains as they break.
Presenting three of my recent acquisitions courtesy of Rufus @ ArtDroids.co.uk (after ming of this very parish tipped me off!) - as an unrepentant Bad Company devotee, to say I am happy about laying my grubby paws on these is an understatement. Better pictures up at CAF later on, but for now:

I am Danny Franks! I am the Krool Heart!
To borrow a phrase from the vernacular - aw, hell yeah!
Outstanding pages, Greg - really happy for you. It's so nice to see this stuff properly appreciated and I struggle to think of a better home for this art) other than mine, naturally ;)).
Wow they are pretty fantastic pages. Very fond of the Mad Tommy one in particular.
Cheers, lads. The one I was most excited to get hold of was the Protoid one (personal obsession with the character, he's the main protagonist in my favourite ever moment in comics, the decapitation of De Racine) but now that I have 'em in the flesh, the Mad Tommy one is the one with the greatest impact - it's somewhat bigger than the other two, and the inking is much bolder and not as subtle. It keeps reminding me of a line from one of the Titan collections where I think Ewins describes the art as 'Frank Miller meets Battle Picture Library'.
That Mad Tommy page gives me goosebumps - I'm also an unrepentant Bad Co fan and have been going through it again just this week.
Someday I'll have some of the original pages, but in the meantime I don't think I've posted these here...

Smashing stuff, Mikey, had taken note that you were a fellow Kanoholic - those pics are certainly superb, great to get a chance to see 'em. Cheers! It's no surprise to see how well Rufus knows his way around the Bad Company cast.
Just thought I'd drop by again and let you all know that I've finally managed to upload the majority of my artwork onto the comicartfans website. Go have a look at my meagre offerings. Click on the link let me know what you think....'kay

Some lovely pages there,really like your frazer irving cover and the apocalpse war dps....by the way the page you think could be by dylan teague is acually by darren chandler ! i have some of his stuff,he has done artwork for zarjaz etc..i thought it looked like his style and when you check the signature they are the same ....
Continuing the recent spate of Bad Company pages...
I've got the big 4-0 coming up next weekend and hopefully this might just get here in time to take the edge off :)
(http://i.imgur.com/eoIFq.jpg)
Quality page.
Highlights Brett Ewins' use of quality photocopying for multiple panels with slight zooms.
Think I might have said this to you before, ming, but that page is like the whole of Bad Company in microcosm - Danny writing in his diary, Kano revealing dark secrets, Thrax's unwholesome fantasies, 'regular' troops being afraid of Bad Company (and by extension highlighting how much Danny's changed), Wallbanger getting some particularly choice dialogue, Mad Tommy being mad... all you're missing is an actual Krool.
All being well, I too will have a new Bad Co. page to show off this weekend...
Double post, I know, but presenting my latest acquisition - my holy grail of original art, as it is my favourite page from any comic strip. Could enthuse all day about this one... Protoid's utterly satanic appearance and dialogue, De Racine snatching defeat from the jaws of victory... perfection!
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/Stuff/BCSnip2.jpg)
lol, this thread is full of Bad Company original art gold. Very impressed with it all. If I get a hold of a decent camera sometime I shall post my small collection.
Nice one.
Owning your favourite page from any series feels great.
I love all my Halo pages, but "Trust we" always stuck in my head.
And I own that page. Bliss.
Dunk!
It's good indeed, I'd always loved the Nemesis page I've got (witch dunk), was just getting the framing adjusted and had an old fan drooling over it, not literally thankfully, but he was well impressed. he was one of those victims of the "parents throwing out old progs" plague that so many have suffered.
QuoteOwning your favourite page from any series feels great.
Yeah, I've got the cover of Prog 661, which is the Dead Man holding up his Dredd badge. For me, that was an all time classic Dredd moment and I'm thrilled to own that cover.
My other fave from a strip is Kev Walker's 'Judge Anderson Childhood's End' pages where a doctor gets his face skewered by a javelin trap. It actually made me grimace when I read it so it's great to own it (and the page before!)

Aye, that's the best 2000AD cover ever, far as I'm concerned. Stunning stuff.
A nice Ron Smith page arrived a couple of days back and I'm posting it here because (a) it's really nice and (b) Judge Baxter (right hand side, middle panel) seems to be the spitting image of Wake.
:)
(http://i.imgur.com/9OLEw.jpg)
Ron Smith's great, isn't he?
He's still my favorite Dredd artist. :D
Well my Anderson cover by Garry Brown from prog 1734 finally arrived today from the u.s , i'm really pleased with it but i must admit in all the time i have been collecting 2000ad artwork i have never had as much trouble as i have had getting this page..........
Ah yes , but all good things...
Its almost worth it... :'(
I'm sure there's someone who could relieve you of it's burden.
Hi,
Ive only recently started collecting original artwork (and it's not 2000ad, shame on me). But im having a bit of trouble finding online sellers of original (published) art. What Ive got so far primarily are these sites :
http://www.theartistschoice.com/
http://www.theartofcomics.com/
http://www.marcsilvestriart.com/
Does anyone know of any other online stores / artists selling (2000AD) original artwork ? Thanks.
BTW, what Ive bought so far are these 2 :
Ghost Rider #28 Cover 2 page spread Pencils by Marc Silvestri
(http://www.marcsilvestriart.com/images/store/GR%20COV%20DPS%28600%29Silvestri.jpg)
ULTIMATE SINISTER 6: ISSUE 4, PAGES 11 + 12: PENCILS BY TREVOR HAIRSINE
(http://www.theartofcomics.com/gallery/u6-4-11&12.jpg)
Sorry, Ibalbalba, I can't help with your question, but....those two pages are ace. I miss Trevor Hairsine in 2000AD. Amazing artist.
Wow really surprised when I saw that art was by Trevor Hairsine. He's an artist that I've really lost touch with since he left 2000ad. He's gone for a real Hitch vibe there (for understandable reasons). Interesting to see an artist book the trend as as they got more experienced actually add more line and detail to their work.

Is the 2000AD Artwork Gallery (http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/) really that difficult to find?

Depends on youre google-fu, I guess... And what youre looking for. I see a lot of 'Not for sale' pages on that site. Also, there are a lot 'not-so-good' interior pages, and (almost ?) no covers from better known artists on better known titles... Oh well, to each his/her own, I guess.
eBay :)
And Artdroids, CAF, and er, just Google trawling - really doesn't require much in the way of web-fu to find .

Wow, that Nemesis looks simply amazing ! Which reminds me: Ive always loved the way this character looks, but ive never actually taken the time to sit down and read the comic... :-[ I seriously need to start to get into Nemesis...
Sooooo cool. I'd love to see a Nemesis action figure.

Apart from the introductory episode which was basically just a big chase in flying craft where you never see the character*, I haven't read any
Nemesis The Warlock either. I agree it's an interesting unique character design.

If that first ep. didn't grab you...I'm not sure it's you're thing.
I havent read it either, but this still sure sounds good to me :
QuoteTermight, a world at the heart of a cruel galactic empire. A world devastated by nuclear warfare. Deep below ground its inhabitants try to eke out a mere existence, continually threatened by the Terminators, lead by the diabolically evil Torquemada. There is a resistance though, and a new kind of hero. Meet Nemesis the Warlock, champion of the coming rebellion!

From the 2000AD thread at Whitechapel here are a couple of Flickr accounts containing original 2000AD art (might require a little digging):

Oh Noes! My secret's out! Luckily, a strategically positioned loofah protects my modesty in most pics. In my defence, I was young and needed the money.
By comparison, the number of art droids with compromising pics of Pete must, by now, be
staggering.
:D
I've been busy updating my CAF gallery with direct scans rather than photos of my 2000AD art... If anyone's interested, please take a look; I really wanted to do the artwork justice. All done except a Gibson and a McCarthy page, but there's Ron Smith, Ewins, Dillon, Belardinelli, Fabry, Ezquerra, Wilson, Redondo, McMahon, Talbot plus more Gibson and McCarthy in there (along with a few ooooold sketches by the likes of Liam Sharp, Fabry and Yeowell).

hi, yes i bought these a while ago. you can see all the other pages in the story if you follow the link to my 2000ad art.
That story and the other McMahon artwork in the 81 and 82 Dredd annuals is some of my favourite ever.
Amazing to see a complete story as good as that all in one place.
Glad it stayed together. It would be nice to see in an exhibition or something.
The close ups on CAF are very interesting.
(Never mind - I see you fixed it!)
Iain, don't forget to use the Imgur 'message board' links with the square brackets if you want the image to show up directly (or just paste the link and use the 'image' icon when you create the post.

yep, those first two JD annuals are mega classic's and a real favourites of mine. To have some art from them is frankly mind blowing.
perhaps rufus needs to do another artwork exhibition?

aw man, an original page from the banned episodes - that's a real collector's item. And those colour Pinboing pages are incredible. Colour me jealous.
Tiny compared to the fullpages on show here, but this is probably my favourite of all my Carl Critchlow single panels - the swift kick to the nadgers to stop a problem dead perfectly summing up the humour of Dredd IMO

You little devil, ming, that's another absolute cracker for your increasingly enviable collection: prime Ron genius. Things have been quite quiet on the collecting front for me, recently... it's strange having money left at the end of the month. ;)
This little beauty was hiding away on e-bay france so maybe not many saw it.....?
but really pleased to receive it through the post today, (classic gibson featuring joe in every panel!)

theres a better scan on my CAF page btw.
Nice page, Iain. I remember seeing that one kicking about a while back - wrongly labelled if I remember right... I've got another page on the way (nothing major, but nice); will post it up after a trip away next week.
I have a few pages, all framed up and displayed as they deserve to be.
I realise the sun does them no favours, but to hide them away truly pains me. hence I display them in the play room. shall take some pics, and post, this time i will do it!!! ( note to self, GET IT DONE)

Just put it in sotrage when I got it and simply forgot I had it.
Nice stuff too... A Flint Dredd page and some Rufus Dredd at Christmas stuff and various sketches.
I'll be getting them framed up and on display in my new pad as soon as I get everything else sorted.
Pics to follow.
ALL original art should be framed asp and on display, it's a crime to not do so :'(
Okay then...
Excuse some of these pictures, some are a bit blurry and have weird reflections as I couldn't be bothered moving them to take the snaps.

Thats some collection too Rich, the Flint especially.

Going on Ebay wednesday.....
It'll almost certainly go beyond my means, but I'm turning forty soon and fancy a treat, Mr Flint is an all time fav of mine so...
Will try to get a pic of my Ron Smith & Ezquerra pages tonight, I have pages 4, 5 and 6 of the classic JD tale 'Rabid' (and would love to get the first 3 pages if anyone knows where they are) and an Apocalypse War Carlos page (Judge Liberman's emergency stop is not all it should be...I'm Gone!). Rabid was the first JD story i read so i was amazingly happy when i got the pages delivered.
Yes, get posting, always nice to see original art on here.
Just Love the Nick Dyer Slaine , i see stardom for that guy , anyways here is a guy might make it in the comic world ...
ABC Warriors 2000ad 581 Simon Bisley ( who ever he is ...lol )

Really class Dale.
Loved this artwork when it came out.
My Henry Flint original Dredd page is now on Ebay.......item number 2000703459531 , its on until next sunday !
If anybody is having a nosey the actual number is
200703459531
One too many zeroes. It is a lovely piece.
Whoops!!! Thanks for that...
Just a quick reminder that the Henry Flint Dredd page I have on eBay at moment will be finishing tomorrow afternoon ! .....cheers
Good luck with the sale, Steve. I'm tempted to jump at it, but I'm trying to stay focused this year and avoid buying (much) art. At least my McCarthy commission is pretty much finished; should keep me out of trouble for a while. Looking forward to seeing what you're getting with the proceeds!

Well I'll be, wasn't expecting that. I just gone and got myself an 40th B-Day present. I contacted Henry Flint last year and asked if he was doing commissions as my wife said she'd get me one for my 40th (tomorrow Sunday 5th). Alas he wasn't and so I was going to switch to Colin Wilson but couldn't sort that. At which point I drifted from the idea.
Then this came up and I thought what the heck, it'll no doubt go out of my price range but no harm in trying. Wasn't about today when it ended so put my final bid in this morning thinking I'd get gazumped last minute as so often happens. I didn't which is all a very long way around and about say I won this.
YAH ME!!!
No idea about the relative value of original art but then its worth what you want to pay so I'm so, so chuffed with this. An original, colour, Henry Flint Dredd... that's about as good as it gets in my book.
...now to persuade Deb my wife that it gets to join the ranks of on display art... I think tomorrow might be a good day to ask...
Good stuff! Congrats on a lovely page and a very nice birthday present (I got myself two - Bad Co. unofficially, McCarthy commission more official - and so long after the event I can persuade myself it doesn't count). I really need to dig up a nice Henry Flint page at some point...
Yeah, congrats on winning Colin. Thats a good price you got it for. Is this your first piece of original art? Its a highly addictive hobby, you know ....
Only got a few others and budget constraints mean it'll not rocket up. But every so often I treat myself.
A little treat now and again is the way to go, think i need to buy a new piece of original art, havent bought one for a while. Doesnt seem to be that much out there at the minute though.

The seller, Romitaman, does seem to price his wares to the extreme, and as consequence, a lot goes unsolded. As much as i love Paul Chadwick's Concrete, i shant be paying the $2,000 asking price (WTF!?! remove a nought, then maybe) for the Concrete piece he has. Ridiculous.

Most of my vintage stuff is long gone .... Large48 is worse than me , his house must be falling apart from the weight ..
Hah, he just had 2 Simon Fraser blood cadets, a Kev Walker ABC Warriors and a Jock Dredd off me...
Kept the Bisley ABC Warriors page though - it's the only bit of original art I have left...
I've got a Blood Cadets page somewhere.

Artwork is packed up and ready to go....will post it first thing in the morning Colin...cheers
[/quote]
And arrived too. I know going on about this is silly, when compared to some of the stuff that gets talked about here, but stuff it.
I BLOODY LOVE THIS PIECE.
As ever the cliche holds that photos just don't do it justice. Its immense and I couldn't be happier. One final (well until I do my feedback) thank you Steve for helping me wrap up my birthday weekend (lonnnggg) with a massive grin.
I'm also pleased to announce that it's already wall bound and got the public display approval straight away from my wife. Alas that means another piece (My Carl Critchlow which I'm very fond of) is away for now, but I'm going to pitch for more vertical real estate soon to sort that.
Glad you like it Colin and glad its gone to a good home ! I have another few pages to list over the coming months... I will post them on here as they are listed...cheers
Finally got round to digging this (and a couple of other pages) out of the spare room at my Nan's house, where they've been languishing unloved for too many years...
That looks stunning, get it framed NOW ;)
Done and dusted! As are the Fabry Slaine page and Talbot Nemesis pin-up I've got which I shall be posting when I get round to it! I feel ashamed of myself for neglecting them so long... :-[
Brilliant page !!!!
As promised, Slaine 'The Tomb of Terror' Pt 12, pg 4 by a Mr Fabry...
It's stuff like this that makes Fabry the greatest Slaine artist for me - the sheer character with which he imbues our hero. What a fantastic sneer!
Who or what was "Euroman comics"? seen that stuck onto a lot of original art.
Yeah, that's a great page for sure. I'd love another Fabry Slaine page, but they don't seem to surface very often (and the one I have is hard to beat).
Looking forward to seeing the Talbot Nemesis!
It was the sneer in the top panel that sold me the page, and you'll get the Nemesis tomorrow, but only if you be pure, be vigilant and, most importantly, behave! :D
Nemesis pin-up...
Still to come: Critchlow 'Flesh', Dolan 'Mean Machine', Dobbyn 'Strontium Dogs' and Belardinelli 'Future Shock'
Oh, and a Starlord 'Planet of the Damned' page if it's 'allowed' and a couple of convention sketches if anyone's interested...
That Nemesis pin-up is an absolute cracker! Think it might also have been used as a cover for one of the 'Best of...' monthly issues.
Nice Talbot Nemesis, hippy! Starlord page and sketches - post 'em up.
I've only got a few sketches from a UKCAC many years ago, but it's a nice wee batch; Yeowell Zenith, Fabry Bricktop, Mike Collins Ukko, Liam Sharp Chopper and a great Colin Wilson Blueberry. Oh, and a pair of Dredd sketches Cam sent me a couple of years back.
Shame I never get to any cons these days - just badly located...
Love the Slaine ....lets swap ;)
Anyways here's my Mongrol Study by Bisley ( f00king dimwit who damaged my sketch book ask CF )
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/Image_1-1.jpg)
No swapses, no swapses, no swapses! :lol:
Hey Dale,
From what I remember I thought Bisley improved upon it..... :lol:
Mind you, you got a nice one from Nick Dyer up at Thought Bubble.
This has been floating around on ebay for what seems like ages - I have a very vivid recollection of reading this episode of 'Planet of the Damned' in a newsagents in Reading when I was an impressionable 10 year old - especially the part where the woman drowns in her own saliva... Soooooooo cool! :lol:
I love that page, Ive been watching that on ebay for ages, have you bought it? If so well done that man!
David
Indeed I have and neither the ebay photo or mine do it justice - the detail is just stunning...
Just received this Defoe commission from Leigh Gallagher - A4 sheet. Very pleased with it. If you are not aware he's got an offer on commissions going on his blog site :-

...so any takers on this?
As someone who has come fairly recently to collecting original art, i find it very interesting that back in the day places like Forbidden Planet, as well as others - http://www.clandestinecritic.co.uk/2008/07/comic-book-shops-comic-showcase-rip.html would sell original art. This makes for interesting reading as well - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=577130&GSub=90227
So any info Guys?
That Defoe piece is stunning...
My Critchlow piece from Flesh - Legend of Shamalamaramadingdong! Lovely...

Haha! A well-spent £35 on a trip to London with my older brother Mark eons ago for the first one, James. Bless him, he even came with me up to 2000ad's offices at King's Reach Tower to collect my sad and rejected art samples. I couldn't have been more than 15 at the time...?
Am I the only one that really doesn't like Kev O'Neills stuff? :(
Yes.
Yes! That first page is a beauty!

I know. extremely lucky. I'd rather have my buddy back though. A shame. but, fuck it! It's an Ian Gibson original!
Woohoo!
That's a beauty, Flint. Absolutely fantastic. Loved Gibson's work through this phase of Robo-Hunter. He'd really refined it by then. Dunno if anyone drew hotter girls in 2000ad...
...Jesus Redondo maybe?
I'm still trying to get my head round the awesomeness of those O'neill pages - you're one lucky cat.
I went to a guy's house a while back - he was auditioning to play bass in our band, which didn't happen, but he did have a page of Fabry Slaine on his wall. He nearly got in just on the basis of that alone.
Love those O'neill pages !!!!

Yeah, Redondo drew some hot girls as well, that's true. Very underrated artist, I always thought. Don't know if his style was a bit too classic for 2000ad but I always really enjoyed his take on Nemesis. And he made Purity hot too...
David Roach produced some fine lady art.

I've probably said it before, but I didn't appreciate Redondo's art much as a kid (the usual situation of being in awe of some of his contemporaries, rather than not actually liking his work). I can't praise his work highly enough these days... a fabulous, underrated artist. I'm lucky enough to have a couple of original pages (one Future Shock, one Return to Armageddon) and although they're not 'high end' pieces, I love 'em to bits.
Is there any word on a reprint for Return to Armageddon?
Yeah I'm a big fan of Redondo, very under rated artist. As for 'Return to Armageddon' aside from some reprints that surely has to be the most asked for reprint volume. Its slowly heading towards the top of my re-read list, all the talk about it is really making me look forward too it.
This works really well as a stand alone page imo...

(I posted the Nemesis one before but the image seems to have vanished; this is a better quality scan, anyway)
Mek-Quake's lines are just hurrrr! -groan- brilliant there.
That Stronty page is lovely!
Strontium Dog page is rather nice ..
Thanks, folks - that SD page has passed through a few collections over the years (including Rufus, about 20 years ago!) but it's found a final resting place now (unless I find a better Ezquerra SD page, which is unlikely).
:)
I'm going to start adding some close-up images for some of my artwork on CAF - starting with this one; Belardinelli's skill with a brush is absolutely incredible...
(http://i.imgur.com/PZlx2.jpg)
I agree; I have a 'minor' page of Belardinelli's from 'Mr Macabre' (I haven't posted it on here yet) and the line work is just beautiful...

Nemesis was just a different strip once Talbot took over, wasn't it...? Not complaining when I say that. It's like when Dio joined Black Sabbath. Same but different. Keeps it fresh...

Having finally finished listening to the epic Pat Mills ECBT2K podcast, with the comments about Belardinelli not being the right artist for Black Hawk... Who could have done it better? Black Hawk himself was always the least interesting character in that (Beelzebub was my favourite) and although Massimo drew fairly 'weak' human characters as times, I think no other artist could have done such a wonderful job with the various alien characters and otherworldly situations.
Just look at that Batak image above and tell me I'm wrong (or, preferably, right).
Final score - Mills 0 Ming 1.
Received these the other day from J3DI, and really happy with them too. Got some better scans for these over on CAF.
Just loved the Dead Man story, so im glad to finally have a page for the episode that appeared in Prog 661.
For those that have read it, youll know whats special about Prog 661.
...and a bit of old school goodness from Barry Mitchell.

Should have some more art to post on CAF in the next week or so.
My latest purchase, courtesy of fatboydale (cheers Dale, you rule!)
That is REALLY lovely. He is really and underated artist, put on mismatched stories, Stront, and not very good ones, Bradley. Revere is one of my favourite contained stories, a GN wouldnt go astray. Any more pages Dale?
David
Yeah just love Revere and Simon Harrison' art on it. Never quite understood why he got such a hard time by 2000ad fans. That's a lovely piece of art there.
Revere was collected in its entirety in Extreme Edition #20, David - it's well worth hunting down a copy of that...
I'd guess he was given such a hard time when he was put on Stront; such a VERY different to approach to Ezquerra who had made the character his own, it was inevitable really. Revere is one of my all time favourite strips, massively under-rated by many imo...

I got very lucky a couple of years back (thanks to Cam himself).

Just how much art do you have, or is it simplier to say what art you dont own? ;)
I really need to get back into this forum after who knows how long :P

Quick question, in the early days of 2000 AD, what dimensions was the art drawn at? Is it just a regular 11 X 16 sheet on its side, where you could draw two pages at once? EDIT: I guess that's just double page spreads. Still curious about what paper sizes were used.
not really a set size for british artwork , early artwork is much larger the standard 11x17 American these pages are 26 x 16 for the dp and single page 16 x 14 , Simon Harrison art is 28 x 20 ???
How much are you looking for Dale?
Am I the only one who keeps being unable to see any photos?
Sometimes it shows me but most of the time I can't see anything. And I hate to miss out.

eBay has a fairly regular turnover, CAF if you know what you want (plenty of links to galleries too), Barney or directly from the artists if you can find their websites...
Or on here, of course...
I'd really love a piece of Apocalypse War artwork, that's probably my only real desire.
Obviously quite a few people here with nice artwork, do you have it listed seperately on your insurance?

Yeah, this one has me floored, really. This is a perfect representation of a hugely important era for me - my dad died that year, and I clung to 2000AD like a rock... I pored over every detail of Kev's artwork, and early Nemesis has remained one of my absolute favourite things to come out of 2000AD. I decided to aim for a page this year - didn't expect it to happen so soon, but prices for the art Kev was selling through The Illustration Cupboard quietly dropped 25% for a couple of weeks a while back, so I just had to jump. Might be the only page I pick up for a long time (er...) but it's an insanely lovely bit of work and I am so chuffed to have this.

Huge mega congrats on this, David. O'Neills work is just out of this world. A unbelievable talent really. Those early Nemesis stories are cast-iron classics
Yes, i can well imagine you over the moon with this - who wouldnt be? :thumbsup:
That is just amazing. What a thing of beauty! Well done & congratulations.
Oh my giddy Aunt that is just beautiful, really beautiful. Well done (is that the right thing to say... oh well who cares!)... so errr ... like what was your address again...
That really is fantastic, if I owned that I'd die happy.
One of the truly great covers - absolutely wonderful work, and I bet it's immeasurably more exciting (if that's even possible) 'in person'!
Great investment, Ming. I had a similar experience to you with the death of my Dad turning 2000ad from simple entertainment to something I immersed myself in completely, and the level of detail on that page offers enough to keep you occupied for years to come.
O'Neil's artistry is extraordinary; even the type of line he employs in the shading on the human skin is subtly different from that on the alien flesh (i), and look at the intricate detail, the different weights of line he employs in the interlaced curves of the billowing sulphur around the edges of the page. Every reflective surface, every creased line in material is rendered with the kind of maddening detail that's only possible when the artist knows exactly what purpose each serves in the image as a whole.
The way O'Neil introduces motifs taken from his character design as part of the costumes, weapons and vehicles; as part of the set dressing; in the strip's panel design and graphics; and even the landscapes in which Nemesis and Torquemada fought each other, brilliantly realised Pat Mills's attempt to show not just two characters in conflict but the clash of two inimicable totalising ideologies.
Congratulations again, Ming, you're obviously a man of wealth and taste.
(i) Terminators: short and curved, Nemesis:longer and straighter, except where the negative space between the solid blacks of the ribcage echo the intricate curves of the smoke and fire that frames the image, drawing the reader's eye up and out towards to the central thrust of the image- the arc formed by Nem's sword, pointed muzzle, and the 2000ad logo.
Incredible stuff David, one of my all-time favourite pieces of comics art. I actually remember the thrill of buying that very issue (after the fact) in the basement of The Diceman on Grafton Street, Dublin, in the early 80's, I can only imagine the thrill of actually owning and holding that cover. O'Neill is always a master of design, but the sheer brilliance of the razor-sharp linework on that piece... I bet he was a happy droid when he signed off on that one. Well done, Sir, and well-deserved.
Thanks, folks. In no way was this bought as an investment; it's going up on the wall to be enjoyed, then will eventually pass along to the boys (they can decide for themselves who gets this and who gets the Cam Warlord cover when the time comes). It's an honour to have such an iconic piece of artwork in the house, and this is made all the more special by the very strong personal association I formed with 2000AD from around this time, as well as rating early Nemesis above pretty much anything else before or since. Anyway, as surrogate families go, I picked a good 'un.
Get it framed lad, kick back and enjoy it!

Great stuff, Paul. From what ive seen, 2000ad original art looks fantastic framed. Might have to go down that route myself, at some point.
For any fans of Harry Kipling (deceased) i have just listed the double page spread from the story "Mad Gods and Englishmen" from prog 1483 by Boo Cook on ebay ! item number...200751799739

Looking good, Steve. Is that your Cursed Earth cover commission on the far left? Very nice.
I love that Tharg cover. There's been an Eric Bradbury Tharg page over at eBay for a while now tempting me but I've been good. I'd love to own a good Tharg piece. I do have a wonderful picture PJ Holden did for me which guards my 2000ad collection, but I mean a printed one.

"Those that resist temptation with ease and good grace obviously never started collecting 2000AD artwork."I think that's the one you had in mind.
:)
I'd love a good Tharg page as well, but for now I'll settle for a pasted-on Ezquerra Green Bonce at the end of a Redondo Future Shock page I have.
Anyway, I'm definitely slowing down these days (I've said that before).
Cheers lads, I hunted that cover down to the ends of the world!
Nice work Steve.

Brian Bolland's 2000ad painted Annual cover , my top 3 characters from 2000ad ... it could not be better for me .
Think im going to retire after this .... ;)

Glorious! Insanely lovely art by Bolland; any one of those characters would be fantastic, but all three? Well worth the trade you made, Dale - I think you got the better deal. I have very fond memories of that Annual (I found a £20 note during a wet walk on a family holiday and that was the first thing I bought - the Annual, not the artwork, unfortunately).
Wow, that's beautiful.
Love that Dale !!!

Wow Dale, just Wow!
That's yer gold standard right there.
Any chance of a close up on one of the characters on the page Dale? Looks so perfect.
Oh wow. That Bolland cover is, indeed, about as good as it gets. Some close-ups would be great!
Dale, do you have a website where you show off your collection? I'd love to know how many pieces you have and some of the stories behind how you've acquired them.
Also, no-one ever seems to mention how much is generally paid for original artwork - but I've got to ask, because this has to be right up there in Bisley territory (which seem to go for thousands).

A lot of high-end stuff gets traded, which makes sense. I know what the asking price was for the Bolland cover, and it was high but not as crazy as those for some Bisley art I can think of (the highest I can think of off the top of my head is about $87,000).
:o
Anyway, regarding what people have in their collections and the sums paid for art, a lot of people are a bit cagey about these things and a lot of deals are done behind the scenes. In my experience, it takes a bit of time and patience to see how things operate and there's a lot more information forthcoming in private conversations compared with what's made public. It took me a while to figure out a best estimate of the going rate for certain types of art (and even now I might be way off); the main thing is what it's worth
to you.
That's awseome in the true sense of the word Dale - hats aloft!
And regarding prices; I really like the fact no one mentions it on the thread as for me and my small collection, it's really about how much I like it, just as Ming says. You can find the prices pretty easily in any case - until I actually looked and bought some (admittedly more recent stuff, not in the 'classic' mould of O'Neill or Bolland, though still all aces), I always though it would be vastly out of my reach, but it wasn't. Nothing like it either, it's bloody great having a piece of art in your hands that you read in the Prog!
M.
I had a quick run through the thread and realised I had only shared my lovely Bad Company diptych! Might as well put it all in one place. I'm sure you'll all be able to name the artists and series...
Here ye go...pics were taken a while ago. I get the occasional itch to buy more, but I've no more wall space so I'd need to sell pieces. And I love them too much!

I'll give you a tenner for the lot, Mikey!
Heh, great to see that lot; some really quality stuff there. Did you spend a few years picking those up or was it all done in a weekend of madness?
Over a few years actually. I bought the first one (My Name is Death page. Which I might get reframed with a black mount) in 2003 I think, last ones were the Flint ABC pages in *gulp* 2008. It's been ages! I've been drawn toward Mondo type prints more recently though, partly down to price and partly due to Mrs Mikey not really wanting all rooms to have 2000ad related stuff on the walls or covering shelves or every time she looks at me (not often, granted). I know ! Chicks! What can you do?
M
Get rid of her! :lol:
Some lovely pages there Mikey , i like Jock and Irving Death and all the Flint pages the best ....all of them really .
I will post some better photo's of the Bolland in the next few days ...
Yes as some have guess i traded some Vintage 2000ad included my McMahon fink dp , which hand on heart it hurt and i'm full of regret ....
As for prices for art it can vary depending on the artist and the character .... i asked an American how much was his Bolland Dredd , his fucking reply was " if you have to ask , you cannot afford it " .. got the twat back when his asked about my Watchmen pages ...
The asking price for this Bolland was $12,500 .
Thanks Dale, that is obviously a very important piece for you, the bits you want the most cost the most don't they!
Mikey, nice you have them in frames and up on the wall. Mine is all in a map cabinet.
I don't think my girlfriend realises just how much stuff I have so when we finally get a house together it'll be a nice surprise for her ;)
The Harry Kipling double page spread by Boo cook that I have on eBay finishes in a few hours if anyone is interested ......cheers

Great to see the extra photos Dale. fantastic stuff, :thumbsup:
So lovely to see the quality in real life isn't it :)
Some of the art on here is amazing!
Yeah, there's some amazingly good art on show in here (and I don't mean mine). It's a real treat to see people share their collections and enthusiasm for the art. I know the vast majority of 2000AD art will never see the light of day, so I'd like to thank everyone who's posted stuff in here - great stuff.
Oh, and I have one more piece on the way... :-[ Not really planned, but something I pondered a couple of years back resurfaced and it proved to be a hard one to turn down when the offer came. Will hopefully have it in a week or so, anyway.

Well as I say, it was something that I nearly picked up before, so it's not like I fell off the wagon or anything. I'm in denial, aren't I? :lol:
As for clues...
Fairly recent (will be the most 'modern' bit of art I have apart from the recent McCarthy Dredd stuff): 2003
Not by an artist I have anything by.
Features just one character, and it's a minor classic, to me at least.
Closest thing I'll come to a Bolland piece, maybe.
'Smile'
Probably enough to give the game away; I can post a pic at some point anyway.

No, not at all ;)
Mmmm, all very mysterious. Cant think what it might be off hand - ill have to ponder at bit more. Though its always nice to see more 2000ad art going to people on here.
For me, should hopefully have another Dredd page coming next month - and double fingers crossed a nice Concrete piece, that i missed out on the first time round. But that one is far from definite.
Another clue then (or a dead giveaway)...
A cover, but not 2000AD, and not a regular one.
More Dredd, Iain? McMahon?
Martin Emond Dredd / Predator cover !!!!
Is that a guess Dale? If so, keep guessing.... ;)
A recap, plus more clues:
+ Fairly recent (will be the most 'modern' bit of art I have apart from the recent McCarthy Dredd stuff): 2003
+ Not by an artist I have anything by.
+ Features just one character, and it's a minor classic, to me at least.
+ Closest thing I'll come to a Bolland piece, maybe.
+ 'Smile'
+ A cover, but not 2000AD, and not a regular one.
+ A variant cover... (Not sure how many of those there have been, and I don't even have a copy of the published version.)
+ Popped up on Pete's blog not long ago.
+ Seeing it might ring a bell if you're familiar with the works of Alan Moore.
...
Is that enough to go on?
:)
Yeah, I reckon I've figured it out. Does it involve a certain not-strictly-alive person with a camera? If so... nice one!
Me too. The smile bit, and the Bolland reference, made me think of that cover - if of course weve guessed correctly. When you mentioned variant cover, i did for a brief brief second think it might be the Prog 1771 Tharg by McMahon - :o, if you coulda pulled that one off!
As for mine, well hopefully it wont involve a lot of monkeying about to get it, ;)
Heh, glad I provided some decent clues, anyway. I love Frazer's take on Judge Death; second only to Bolland for me. In fact, I'd maybe even go so far as to say his is the more terrifying rendition of all in many respects. After becoming something of a parody of himself through overuse, I'm really happy to have nailed down a piece that presents Death in all his dark, twisted glory...
(http://i.imgur.com/U7lkS.jpg)
Monkey Business is one of my favourite McMahon Dredd stories, Iain (mainly due to the line of work I'm in)... Have seen a few pages kicking about but never jumped, for some reason. Anyway, looking forward to hearing, and seeing, more.
Oh very nice - just grabbed the My name is Death trade off the shelf to flick through. Lovely art by Frazer Irving. Still a
very unsettling story in places. The cover is from JD Megazine 211b, according to the gallery at the back.

Kind of. Apart from the smell, and the applications. Unless I screw up, in which case you'll all be puddles of ooze before you know it!
(Really, just evolutionary biology work; speciation and all that jazz.)
Looking forward to seeing the page(s) anyway! I have my suspicions...
should of guessed that , i was the original owner of that page , i bought it directly from Mr Irving when he was living in war torn Yugoslavia , had to sell it when i bought a new house ...
Nice pick up .
Cheers Dale. It's a lovely piece of art; really happy to have such a great example in Frazer's iconic black and white style. Will post a decent scan when it lands next week.
Well done Dale, and Mikey, thats really nice collection.
Doms art especially look great, Flint you cant go wrong with. I really like the frames, I have mine in cheap frames, some day Ill get the cash and get them framed properly.
Just saw a Ron Smith Judge Child Quest DPS on eBay and looking at the close-ups, something struck me as odd... A couple of heads have been pasted on - nothing particularly strange there (even one of the images of Chopper on the page I have received the same treatment), but these don't seem to be by Ron Smith - look more like Robin Smith to me, or is it just my brain acting up? I think Robin Smith was art editor at some point, but wasn't that later than this?

I don't think your brain is acting up. Looking at the eye on the first head and the shading/brushwork on both, I'd definitely say the heads were Robin Smith and not Ron Smith. Ron's work shows a heavier (neater) brush stroke and cross hatch shading. Maybe they changed the heads to add to the drama, you can still see Ron's (helmeted) forward facing head under the first overlay.
Still, two artists for the price of one.

Yep, my thinking as well. Theres a good few bits of 2000ad art out there that was altered by the editorial team.
Now Ron was certainly no slouch when it came to producing standout characters/aliens and the rest of this episode is chock-a-block with them, so i guess the thought was that the DPS was maybe lacking that little bit of extra alien oomph, and was altered accordingly.
And now that attention has been draw to it - those two heads stick out like a sore thumb. Moral of the story; dont mess with the Ronster!
Yeah - it's not something I ever noticed on the printed version (recipe: take one sheet of bog-paper, reprint artwork with dodgy paste-ups, apply lashings of colour :D) but it does stand out here. Strange that Ron didn't do the alterations himself, though. He's a stickler! (Not to mention fairly quick, and a consummate professional).

I guess its probably all down to the fact it would be easier to "fix" the art there and then, instead of posting it back to the original artist to sort out, and then having to post it back again?
A modern classic .... i would have bought it , if i had seen it ....well done.

Not long left on this now ($800 with 11 hours to go) wouldnt have minded a crack at this...
While I do have some really nice pieces I don't own any 2000AD art. The ultimate catch as far as I'm concerned has got to be the Judge Dredd vs. Judge Fear "GAZE INTO THE FIST OF DREDD!" If I remember correctly, Brian Bolland held on to that page. Can anyone confirm?
I think that would be the ultimate catch for most 2000ad comic art collectors. Heck, comic art collectors full stop.
Id imagine it would also come with one hell of a price tag should it ever turn up.
Not sure who has it now. Brian held onto a few pages from this story, but put them up for sale (i think all went as well) the other year. The "gaze" page wasnt amongst them though.
If i understand right he sell his art via Joe Melchior - http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=9492
Full page of Dredd & Johnny would be ultimate page

Very cool! I had no idea he was selling those so recently. And two of them are still available! Well out of price range for most people though I suspect.
Oh they wont be cheap, thats for sure. Others on here (Dale, Ming....) might have a clearer idea of the going rate.
The last Judge Death Lives page I heard about (sold through Joe Melchior) was $15,000... That was a couple of years back, so they've probably gone up since then. Having said that, I think a page (Peanut Park sequence) went on eBay for 'just' $4k last year, so not everyone (me included) is prepared to pay silly money, even for classic Bolland.
Lovely colourful Ron Smith loveliness...
Nice! I've seen that kicking around for a while; good to see it get scooped up.
Meanwhile, I scanned the Frazer Death cover, and it looks insanely good first-hand...(If I could have just edited the previous post about this, I would have.)

That is such a beautifully detailed Death page...
brill death cover. Gotta love the creepy hand wrinkles x
A simply stunning bit o' art, David. One to treasure that, and nice to see that Ron Smith Dredd colour piece as well, good stuff!

Had that for a long time Judge Jack?
No, its a new arrival opaque, i received it last week. Its from a fellow 2000ad art collector, who's had it in his collection for a good few years (20+?). Bought from Forbidden Planet, i think. Still has the original pencilled price mark on the back. £25!
This Beauty has just arrived from Mr Macneil... love it ! sorry about the small picture,don't know how to enlarge them on here !!
Oh, very nice that. Congrats.
I wouldnt mind a page from this story myself. Now where did i put his E-Mail address...
Let me know if you can't find it ....
That's lovely! Any chance I could have his email?

Wow, they're great! I've got one of his and I love it.

only got this one
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/Simon%20Jacob%20assorted/083.jpg)
Ha, brilliant! It was probably the page(s) before that...
Great pages, Dale! Simon Jacobs is definitely a bit underrated, but he certainly left his mark on 2000AD. A shame he left comics, though - I heard last year that he's the rep for a guitar manufacturer these days (I forget which one) and very happy with it.
There's several artists that made their own mark in 2000ad and Simon Jacobs is one of them :)
Can't say I've seen any available 'out there' though

Love the colours on these Dale. Top stuff.
One last photo , for me this image has alway stuck in head whenever i thought about Armoured Gideon ,also i had a couple of drinks With Simon Jacob the other night and from what i gather he's not finished with comic book art ??

Superb pages Dale - the colour ones are really great to see in detail, but that last page
is Armoured Gideon!

All this talk of The Lord Of Misrule gave me a hankering to have another page from it.
So here, courtesy of Dale, we go:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Mangamax/0cl-1.jpg)
Not much going on, but its lovely, lovely work. That fine line work is SO fine, done by the looks of it in one go as there's no correction fluid at all.
Up close, it looks like Clint used a very, very fine airbrush splatter nib to achieve tiny mottling effects to the trees, brickwork and (very tiny here) the ends of the chains as they break.
Oh, I really wish they would reprint all of these badly photocopied and coloured 1990s era 2000ad stories in black and white :(
That art is gorgeous!
Clint did two versions of that artwork, the original B&W and then painted a copy in case he screwed it up so there are two version of each of those pages....

I only really got into collecting the artwork properly in the early 2000's and on Ebay there was still a lot of (now) very very cheap artwork which I wish I could have bought but that was back when I was unemployed.
Still remember the covers for the Apocalypse War GN's going for a couple of hundred?, now I hate to think how much they would be worth.

Someone I knew was selling Belardinelli for £10 a page :-(
If only we had a time machine.
I'm happy with what what I've got but it's never enough :P
Heh, one of the worst things about buying 'classic' original art these days is seeing the retro pricing scribbled on the back... I've got McMahon Dredd, Ewins Bad Co., etc. and the original vs. contemporary prices make you grind your teeth. As classic 2000AD artists go, Belardinelli has probably risen least - undervalued and certainly underappreciated compared to many others.
Meanwhile, with a bit of luck I should be getting that Gibbons Rogue concept art this week (and the text for the original series pitch); a nice slice of history there...

I seen a Dillon Dredd page in a comic shop in the early 90s. It was £25. That was like 4 weeks cider and snouts them days, so there was no way I could get it!
Also: good work on the Rogue concept stuff Ming.
M.
I was unemployed when I saw all the very earliest stuff in the late 90's. I was already spending all my money on internet access by the minute.
Easy to wish you'd spent the money when you really didn't have it to spend but of course now you can't always accept paying the current market price for the same artwork now even if it's within your grasp.
Mind you some people on here seem to get large numbers of amazing pieces so I guess that is exactly what they are doing! Or maybe they finding rich old ladies who bought things for the grandchildren decades ago and forgot about them and who are now offering them for a pittance to some kindly gentleman? ;)
Heh!

Somebody posted this McMahon Rico page on Twitter, saying it had cost him £15 in the early 80's.
I can console myself with the fact that the asking price, back then, would have placed this
way beyond my reach.

Funny thing is of course that we want it because of the quality of the work and the story that resides within, not for the value on the open market.
We care.

x2!
That much?
Prices these days are a bit crazy (especially to those who started collecting back in the day when it was all as cheap as chips) but good art is getting very scarce and remains much in demand (don't look at me like that). The US market has driven up prices for Bolland, Bisley and O'Neill especially - far more than any other 2000AD alumni I can think of (Gibbons Watchmen and David Lloyd V for Vendetta are also exceptionally sought-after, with prices to match). A lot of stuff just never really surfaces, though (Yeowell Zenith springs to mind) so it's hard to get a handle on some things.
As far as 'Classic' art goes, there are still relative bargains to be had but they're few and far between. Anyway, the price tag is (and always has been) less important than what the art means to you personally. Not that I really rank the art I have in this way, but I'm sure I have relatively modestly priced art that means more to me than stuff with a bigger price tag. (The O'Neill Nemesis cover's something of an exception as it's an incredibly important piece of art for me and I paid accordingly - but at least the cash went direct to Kev O'Neill.) Knowing what you like and sticking to it is the key - the narrower your focus, the easier it will be to ignore all the semi-decent art that inevitably passes under your nose.
Anyway, my art pick-ups are slowing significantly these days. As Opaque said, you can never have enough of this stuff once you start collecting, but I've got enough of my boxes ticked that I could happily stop now. Er. Yes, yes, I know.

So to be clear I have no issues with Clint over any artwork, just in case anyone thinks I have!
He has always been more than generous every time I have met him and hopefully this will continue in the future when he has some more artwork available.
:)
Just had a thought that I should probably mention this here: I have 2 pages (4 and 5) from a story called 'Mr Macabre' from prog 314 with art by a certain Mr Belardinelli. I'm desperately searching for the 4 pages I'm missing so I can complete the story. I've tried silver-acre, CAF, Dale Jackson and everywhere else I can think of but to no avail. Any and all help hunting these pages down would be greatly appreciated...

Some of Walker's best art IMO.
How about I teach you how to draw in exchange for these ::)
For some reason it's taken for ever to get around to scanning this page (it's mahoosive - required four scans on an A3 scanner just to fit it all in). I still have to tweak the joins a little, but here's some lovely Ian Gibson Robo-Hunter action from the Day of the Droids... I always loved those Gibson war-machine designs.

Very nice bit o' Gibson that - i did wonder myself, why this page appeared to be the poor relation, in regards to your patented scans.
Some 2000ad art is just so large, isnt it.
I've got four of those Day of the Droids pages. Lovely aren't they :)
Yeah, very nice work from Gibson, although I'd really love to find a Verdus page one day. Some of my earliest 2000AD memories are tied up with that.
Gibson is on my list of wants; that's a lovely page that!

Geez....that is MASSIVE...

Yeah, that's the same size for my Gibson Robo-Hunter (the actual artwork, panel-border to panel border, comes in at 51.5 x 42cm).
I had a quick look for other outsized artwork I have:
Bad Company (first run): 43.5 x 36cm (on a 52 x 44cm page)
Colin Wilson Dredd (his first story): 49 x 36cm (56.5 x 40cm page; his Rogue stuff is along the same lines)
While I'm here, some more Gibson (more of a standard size, this one). I always liked Dog Deever.

Yeah, that's the same size for my Gibson Robo-Hunter (the actual artwork, panel-border to panel border, comes in at 51.5 x 42cm).
I had a quick look for other outsized artwork I have:
Bad Company (first run): 43.5 x 36cm (on a 52 x 44cm page)
Colin Wilson Dredd (his first story): 49 x 36cm (56.5 x 40cm page; his Rogue stuff is along the same lines)
Cheers Ming.
I shall 'dabble' with some oversized art next time I have the chance...

For some reason it's taken for ever to get around to scanning this page (it's mahoosive - required four scans on an A3 scanner just to fit it all in). I still have to tweak the joins a little, but here's some lovely Ian Gibson Robo-Hunter action from the Day of the Droids... I always loved those Gibson war-machine designs.

Ming, if you ever want to get rid of this (due to the Football reference) just let me know, or swap for something, and no not the McMahon! ;)
Devlin Waugh - 69cm x 49cm for a double page spread :)
I have a Revere page by Simon Harrison (obviously!) that comes in at 23.5" X 17" (about 59.5cm x 43cm) :o

It's very flimsy paper. It's layout paper, 45gms and yes I do use felt tip pens and markers to ink.
I've used all sorts of different kinds of paper in the past, from paper costing £5 a page to tracing paper. This is just my latest phase of papery-ness.
The main reason I use this paper is that I like the feel of the paper when I'm drawing on it. No, that doesn't mean anything kinky. :) What I mean is, I pencil and ink each page on the pad (ie I don't remove a sheet of paper to draw on a more solid surface.), So It gives a slight cushioning effect when drawing. I like it's softness of touch.
The other reason I like using this paper is the fact that if a page goes completely wonky, then I can just pull it out of the page and tear it up without thinking "Crivvens I'm tearing up a fiver!", kinda thing. Because each sheet of paper is so cheap, then I am freed from being "precious" about every single bit of paper. It's been quite liberating for me artistically. I hope it's finally starting to show in the artwork.
Anyhoo, hope that's helped explain the oddity of the paper. :)
Cheers
Colin

Yeh, I like the fact that layout pad is transparent enough to trace over roughs, great for markers and is dirt cheap. Have often thought it would be good to develop a marker style so I could work that way. Not crazy about working with markers though!
How you manage to 'pencil' on layout pad I don't know!? You must have a very light touch Colin! Damn stuff tears if you breath too heavily over it.....! :)

very happy to have this.
I personally cant draw for toffee, and i have a limited understanding of the artistic process, but reading Colin's comments, its an interesting glimpse into that process, and how things like, different papers/pen's etc, can help 'free up' an artist.
That's a lush page Jack (and MacNiel), not surprised it's become your favourite. Thin paper's not a problem when you frame 'em ;) My ABCs pages are on tracing paper as it happens, got the pencil roughs on normal paper too.

I've a nice new shiny mobile phone with camera (my first mobile phone, I've held out a long time) So here's a splurge of shots of some of the 2000ad originals I've collected over the years.
Classic Colin MacNeil artwork

Just my opinion but I happen to think this page and the story 'Judge Death Lives' is one of the finest comic book story sequences I've ever seen - of any comic. That is a wonderful page of work.
Seconded. Now, for me, when it comes to who is the definitive Dredd artist, im solidly with the McMahon block, but im also firmly of the opinion that what Brian produced on this, represents THE best art ever on a Dredd story. Congrats on owning this, Alex.
Great page .... fancy a swap ?? lol

If I could have any page of Mike McMahon's art it would have been from the Judge Child Quest.
Monkey Business at Charles Darwin Block is a close second though. Picked this one up around the same time as the Bolland page in the mid 90's
(http://i994.photobucket.com/albums/af70/alexr2222/Mike_McM700.jpg)
^ A very sweet page that, Alex. And from such a brilliant story as well - love that second panel with the transformed judges!
(Ive recently managed to grab a page from this story myself, so i know how nice these look up close).
Love both the Bolland and McMahon pages. Lovely stuff.
Gotta be the best period for 2000 art. Can't see it being beaten....
I find the older artwork to be totally 'done'. As in what you see is it. The lines are exactly as you see in the prog. I guess slightly easier when you are talking about only publishing in black and white though. Nothing wrong with that atall (especially such an epic story as those two) just that there is a difference.
Modern artwork when you see it is often multi-layered and more complicated or involved (and with the consequence that the quality is often not shown off in print) but even when it's black and white it seems very different when you see the real thing compared to the print.
Owning original artwork gets to show you exactly what the artists are capable of. I know I've been surprised at the exquisite quality of the work when a new piece arrives compared to what I saw in 2000ad/Megazine :)
I know exactly what you mean! It doesn't matter how good your camera/scanner is it NEVER does justice to the page itself - some of the colour pages I have are absolutely stunning and beautifully detailed!

I think so too. Those two artists couldn't be more different, or bettered. Wonderful work and I couldn't get enough of it back in the day. Hats off to the editors who were crazy enough to allow 2000AD artists to take things in so many unique directions.
So this is an original page I bought from Barry Kitson at a comic convention in Seattle in 2009.
(http://img844.imageshack.us/img844/6024/p1010946i.jpg)
I brought an old Judge Anderson oversized graphic novel for him to sign, and we started talking about 2000 AD. He then showed me some original pages he had for sale (which I really hadn't anticipated) and they were of fantastic quality (and price) and I was more than thrilled to pick this page up. Thinking I was smart, I happily agreed to pay full price under the condition he did "a quick doodle" in my sketch book that I had been getting many comic artists to draw in. He being busy at the time, he asked if I could leave my sketch book with him overnight and pick it up the next day. What I hadn't realized at the time was that if you buy an original page from Barry, he gives you a free sketch anyway. So much for my bargaining skills. Anyway, the next day I picked up my book and was absolutely stunned at what he did.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Barry Kitson:
(http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/3748/p1010948i.jpg)
For comparison, this "quick doodle" was done by Jimmy Palmiotti (who inked some of the DC Judge Dredd comics) and this is the norm of what you get from comic artists at conventions for free. Which are great, don't get me wrong, the point being Barry really went all out with his "quick doodle" for me.
(http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/4716/p1010947j.jpg)
The sketch Barry did for me really is probably my most prized piece of Judge Dredd memorabilia, followed closely by the original comic page drawn by him. If I start going to conventions again, I will absolutely try to commission an original piece from an artist (one hopefully from Barry) or try to buy more original pages.
That is one hell of a sketch :)
Curare storyline for the actual artwork? I loved that one.
That sketch is amazing!!! I love the detail.
The Barry Kitson sketch is good too :D
Lovely stuff on this thread. Keep it coming guys & gals :thumbsup:
I'm really impressed with all the stuff on this thread! Real classic stuff from all the masters to present day.
I can see why you get hooked on these, they're true works of art where you actually can see the depth, lines and details - pieces of eternal enjoyment!
I picked up this Ron Smith page way back for about £30, it's the only original art I own as I've realised it's a good way to spend money fast! :lol:
(Wish I'd bought some more back then though)
Ron Smith is one of my fave-artists on Dredd, seeing the art up close makes you understand what a master he is. It's a fun page to watch too I think, a little short story on its own :)
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e286/Judge_Aberg/DSC_0134.jpg)
I love that little frog fella! :lol:
Ron Smith is one of the best!
A Judge Child quest page, lovely. One of my favourite early Dredd epics.
I'd love to get a page from that story at some point.
Lovely pages anihilate and nicklarr. I'd forgotten how bloody good Barry Kitson was.

Another beautiful Simon Harrison page...
I have two cover art originals both by Carlos.
Strontium Dog.

That Stront page is a beauty! Is it just me though or has Durham's head been redrawn/stuck on/edited?
Wow! That Apocalyspe War cover is great!
One of the rare moments we see the Cyclops laser in action! PZZOOO! :lol:
Would love to have a page of the Apoc War story!
Carlos Apocalypse War is my No1 desire :p
Hahahaha Ron Reagan! Haha yessssss!
You can't beat the original covers . Love both of them.. I've got a couple, I will post pics later!

Ron is one of those artists who's work does seem to shine on the original art board. Most art does, but some stuff just seems to reveal a greater ratio of goodness than others when seen in the flesh as opposed to print. Great page.
Went down to the cellar (no not that one) today to clear out a few things since the last move.
Found many great and funny items and went Nostalgia De Luxe! :lol:
How about this Aaagh! original art catalogue from '97:
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e286/Judge_Aberg/201208181272.jpg)
Fancy a Ron Smith page for under £30? (a Judge Child or Unamerican Graffiti Ron Smith!)
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e286/Judge_Aberg/201208181277.jpg)
Ezquerra Apocalypse War pages - need I say more?
(http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e286/Judge_Aberg/201208181275.jpg)
So... where's my Proteus...? ;) Aaagh! :lol:
I've got some of those and the prices make you cry!
I went to the blokes house years ago and it was very interesting :o
That catalogue must be the most astonishing thing. A whole world of 'if onlys' for so many people. Worst of it is the artist will often have sold their stuff at these sort of low prices and thus don't reap the benefit of their art reaching a value closer to their worth as it is these days.

Ive heard from other collectors that Ian Senior had THE largest collection of Ron Smith artwork, amongst a whole treasure trove of other 2000ad art, as well. Bought a few bits from Ian over the last couple of years. A decent seller, i think.
Would be nice to read these catalogues - any chance of this being scanned and put up on here/elsewhere

Oh, nice to see a page i now own on one of those fotos. I didnt buy this from Ian, but the person who had it before me, obviously did!

Wow! Good to see that page in its original, I liked that :)
So what's the story on Aaagh? Is Ian Senior still selling art? Where did he get all this wonderful stuff?
Maybe I can donate the catalogue to the
Cellar of Dredd and CF can put it up on the blog, that would be fun!
Nice.
I got those two Apocalypse War pages from Ian back then. He was giving away two free Ace Trucking pages with every purchase. Bought eight or nine pages from him and 16 pages of Ace Trucking for free. Mainly "The Mush Rush". Quality. Wish i had bought more now.

Think Ian bought a lot of his stuff from places like forbidden planet, though he also bought direct from the artists.
When we met to do a deal for my Pin-Boing pages, he told me he had gotten these from Mick himself in the early 90's.
He sold a lot of his remaining pages last year, i think.
Though he said he was keeping some of his favourites pieces for himself. He's just uploaded some very nice 2000ad pieces onto his CAF gallery, though these arent for sale - as yet. He still sells (he has two shops on E-Bay, those Rogue trooper concepts/prelims that
Ming bought, were his).

Dredd being a c*nt...by Brendan McCarthy! :lol:
Oo-oo-ooh! One of my favourite annual stories ever. The full page (watercolour?) image of Dredd being blasted from his bike in that strip seems to get (loosely) quoted by MacNeil, in an equivalent scene in
America.
I think the work McCarthy/Ewins/Riot did on their annual story collaborations, and John Higgins's unbelievable
Last of the Bad Guys in the same year's Dredd annual, must have been instrumental in convincing Tharg to accommodate painted art in the prog.
If you manage to get your hands on a page from that McCarthy annual story where Dredd gets dosed with a hallucinogen, I'll be properly jealous.
If I ever found one of those splash pages I think they'd be well out of my price range! I know what you mean though, McCarthy painted (or otherwise) Dredd should be on everyone's want list. The colour and detail (wherever he decides to put a shoulder pad) are just incredible.
If you'd like to see a better quality photo without the acetate overlay...
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=85288
Always nice to see more McCarthy! I noticed the comment about the Ewins / Riot credit on CAF; the more I look at this page the more it looks like Tony Riot but then I'm probably looking too hard! :crazy:
She Devils is a great story (then again, I can't think of a McCarthy Dredd I don't love to bits) and I was tempted to jump at this one myself. Only the probability of the wrong-shoulder-pad business driving me insane put me off... :D
Great page, anyway!
It's a reverse angle looking in the mirror GRUDDAMNIT! :lol:
Like I said on CAF, it's credited as McCarthy, Riot, Ewins but isn't clear on how the art chores were split which makes me think that they didn't all work on every page. If you flick through the story the Ewins bits are clear (to my eye anyway). That said, McCarthy could have pencilled, Ewins inked, Riot painted each page. Ultimately, there are only three people who really know! In the meantime, this looks pure McCarthy to me and I'm sticking to that!

It's my latest - bought it from Arnie Koch in New York who seems like a jolly nice fellow! He has an ebay store: bwaycomicart. Not much 2000AD stuff but he does occasionally get a page in!
Got a few more to add to the Gallery (not that I can remember how to edit it!)

Very happy with that Dean Ormston piece. Looks so much better in real life.
Although I have had to buy 5 seasons of Keeping up with the Kardashians as part of her birthday present in return!
As long as you don't have to watch it with her, I'd say that's fair enough! :o
A lovely bit of work arrived from Mick McMahon today... A3 and completely fills the page; really makes an impact. (I'll try and scan it properly soon, but I'm not used to dealing with pencils, so any tips would be appreciated.)
(http://i.imgur.com/XZmmn.jpg)
That's gorgeous! Did Mike put this on his blog, I seem to remember seeing it somewhere before?
I don't think it's been on the blog but it's similar to the pencils he showed for a commission earlier in the year. There are a lot of small differences (subtle details like the badge and eagle designs as well as the main pose) and I bloody love it!
Ah, that's probably it... The eagle shoulder pad is just amazing! Love it!
That's just perfection.
Sigh - tis a thing of real beauty. Mick's pencils are simply dynamite, arent they.
Really nice details throughout on this.
Im not jealous, not jealous at all. No Sir, not jealous one little bit...
im jealous, ;)

I did think the Quietly version looked more 'real' than the original :)
Cheers to Dale for dropping off a cracking Roach Anderson page today.
Supoib!
Ming gets all the precious!

Can't beat a nice double white mat and medium black frame fo sho!
I put mine in clip frames; I love to see the 'rough edges' etc around the outside of what would be seen when published...
This thread makes me sad because I don't own all these pages. :(
You can do it!
No, dont do it! Art collecting only leads to madness!!, ;)
And lovely stuff, Alex - you certainly have some very nice pieces, and thats a great Anderson page, Paul. Congrats.
I love Madness ,welcome to the house of fun .....
So go on , who got this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/370652145415?nma=true&si=2suZ2pPVk2ijluPQ7GR8i6r93eo%3D&rt=nc&_trksid=p4340.l2557&orig_cvip=true#ht_500wt_1203 , sneaky back door robber ....ok i tried for a private deal , but wasn't too happy with the color ???
Mmm, I was watching that as well.
I put the colour down to a poor photo under strip lighting.
A nice page from an ace story, that.
Im usually on the ball with 2000ad art on e-bay, but id totally missed this.
Well if things are popping off before ending that does explain why I miss stuff!
I asked her if she'd sold it but no reply so far. I think there's a clue in the listing where it said 'bought as a gift for my EX boyfriend' :-\
Hell hath no fury.......
Hide your collectables away, Lads.
She just replied: 'Sorry, it's sold' :(
Tell her 'no it's not, the auctions not finished yet and you're not allowed to remove it to sell it off Ebay once up' ;)
I bid in that to before it was pulled
Yeah watched that one. Think it went between £150 and £200.
I asked for better pics as the discolouration wasn't the same through out and it looked cut and pasted like a bromide.
She didn't seem to bothered to send a pic so pah.
Here's a Shimura A3 commission I'll be picking up from Simon at Thought Bubble in November. He just emailed me the finished article
Ahem... :-[
Thought I would take a punt on it. Not sure of the condition yet.
She wanted to roll it up and put it in a tube!
Will let you know when it arrives.
Aye ye've got to be in it to win it!
Good luck lad!
The page number at bottom right probably dates from the time the story was included in the Titan reprints (I think there's the same on a Talbot Nemesis page I have). Anyway, that Starborn Thing page looks legit to me but it's not that easy to judge from that pic.
Ah ...thanks for that. I wondered what the numbers were.
It's a story I really like, by an artist I really admire... her story sounded legit and I'm ok with a little page yellowing (showing age).
Do people fake these? I didn't think it was mainstream enough for people to fake them.
All these things contributed to me agreeing to pay what she wanted.
I will find out tomorrow :-\

I think it is. Look at the bottom two speech balloons -- the one furthest right is the same colour as the rest of the page because it's on white space, meaning that Tom could draw the balloon and lettering straight onto the artwork.* The one on the left is whiter than the rest of the page because it's placed over the artwork, meaning that the balloon had to be created on a separate piece of paper (almost certainly a different paper stock) and stuck down onto the art. If it was a bromide, the balloons would all be the same colour as the art because it would all be a single sheet of paper.
Cheers
Jim
*Or, if it
is done on a separate piece of paper, it's likely a lighter paper stock, since there's no artwork underneath to bleed through.

I dont think its a case of faking, its just that sellers can be a bit 'vague' with their descriptions, sometimes.
Still a nice page that - and dont forget to post photos/scans of it, on here, when you get it.
Aye, two sellers that rings true with of late:
This piece.
£1550 cover.
We expect detailed photos Slad!
No worries.
Even if it's in horrible condition, pics tomorrow night.
simple way of checking is look on the back of the art , it should have the prog number and the reduction size and stamped ....
This still does not mean its original art , could be a stat ( photo reprinted ) ect ....Carlos work is rare with Stat ...
My guess its going be fine .... Bastard i nearly got it , to make me feel better pm your purchase price ...
Picked it up this morning.... its the real deal alright :P
It's in great nick.
Pictures tonight.
Dale.... I don't think that info will make you feel better ;)
No but maybe he could tell the women she could have got a lot more if she'd left it up on Ebay ;)
Why you no pics?
Keeping a bunch of idiots in suspenders?

sorry pics later... at work at the mo.
The full story...
Saw it on eBay, contacted her for clearer pictures. She couldnt be arsed.
I asked her if it was on card or paper.. "Card"
Asked her how much she wanted for it.
Someone had low balled her an offer of £150 (you know who you are :D )
She said I could have it for £160
Offered £170 to cover recorded/signed for/insured and for it to be posted flat as she wanted to roll it up in a tube.
Jobs a good un :)
Gets popcorn and imagines Dales reaction.
Mmmmmmm butter!
Oh yes tell her that she could have got a LOT more if she'd left it on! :P

Picked this up today.

A lovely page indeed at a bargain price! I'd have loved the chance to have a bid on it - Starborn Thing was the Dredd story that was running when I came back to 2000AD after a couple of years away so I have some fondness for it...

Very cool page. If they spent time in taking a better pic it would have went for way more.
I felt a right idiot looking for that eyebrow, thanks for the reassurance! :lol:
Whats up with not being able to edit your damn posts?
Took better photos of the Cam and Roach and I can't update them.
Just got to wait for it to be inked, now. But looking jaw-droppingly stunning at the pencil stage.

THAT is bloody brilliant! :o
That looks epic!
Sweet mother of God that is beyond glorious... one day, one day...
The new commissions from Mick are stunning. The person who commissioned General Blackblood has bagged themselves a classic! Anyone on here?
Oh sweet mother of Grud. Fuck me! That is beyond fucking awesome...!
Amazing !!!!
I'm getting a Mick Dredd and looking at his blog it could be Dredds 3 or 5 or indeed neither, the thumb he sent was so small! I'm still very excited though!
Holy fucking shit. Mick McM just has awesome in his blood.
Anyone on here get the Carlo Judgement day part 20 Dredd title page on ebay?
I wish I had the money!
Does any body have the original Burger wars artwork from the cursed earth story. I believe that the artwork will never see the light of day again due to copywrite. Have them in the old comics just wondered if anyone had them as its a shame nice bit of artwork.
Judge Jack's got a couple of pages from Burger Wars; posted earlier in this thread, I should think.

The word from Mick, for those on here waiting for their commissions, is that he has a few more to pencil, then its onto the inking.

Thanks guys for the burger war links been years since I seen them.Like iv'e said before I do have them some where up in the loft all packed away.Been saving all the early 2000ads to give to my son when he's old enough to appreciate them, he's not there yet but is starting to take an interest in some of my case files that are lying around.Loving all the other displays of art on this thread making me very jealous!
I was luck to meet Brian Talbot (way back in the mid-late 80s)
I got three pieces from him.
I got Nemisis frames, never got round to framing the ABC Warriors :-[
The third one is odd as the image at the top appears to have folded/bunched up the backing somehow :|

Yep. I should have made a serious play for this when i had the chance, but hey..
Superb pages Austin!
Remember that cover well, as a 10 year old I used to countdown the days until the next prog was out then read em over and over again.
Couple of Grails picked up today. Finally an apocalypse war page.

See you live in a different world than me, a world of such vast scope and scale that I can barely even imagine it.
I've long wanted a Tharg
page let alone cover, preferably by Carlos or Eric Bradbury. There was one on eBay for ages that I looked at longingly for an age, but at over £100 I was struggling to justify the cost. I can only roll up into a tight bitter ball of jealous rage and scream wild, inhuman curses in jealousy at that cover.
I'm sure I'll get over it...
...eventually.
My experience in this art malarky is you have to start off small fry and work your way up.
Only way us working class folk can get anyway, time and effort it takes a lot!
I nearly went for that page but with having the tharg cover I felt like it was backtracking on a Tharg piece I was happy with. Limited wall space meaning I need to be more selective these days.
Cheap as chips it went for too.
But once you start raising your bar it just keeps going up.
Slippery slope this art world. One thats seen me break the bank and overdraft a few times. Good few times. Worse than Crack!
"Ink, it's the choice of the new wave of idiot!"
Nice apocalypse war page , I had the page after that , I got it from Rufus as well, ending up swapping it for a cover! Just got the one apocalypse page now , still one of my favourites ..
Seeing as though talk has turned to the Apocalypse War..
(http://i.imgur.com/tshHZ.jpg)
Ive not posted this on the forum before, though it is up on my CAF gallery.
Managed to get this from an American dealer, a couple of years ago. Not the best photo, and its so large ive been unable to get a scan of it, either.
Ah man! That is awesome!
I am VERY jealous of that.

Great Ron page as ever. :-)
For me that Cliff Robinson page is the beaut there. Love it. In one of the first issues I got in my first 'big' 2000ad run.
Bolland doing Dark Judges? Be still my beating heartses! And Ron fuckin Smith! There should be a Ron Smith collection produced...
You can never get too many Sov Judges too Steve, great stuff.

WHAT!! Let's see the link for that one?!
Think it was listed as being a 'Judge Dred' [sic] page.
Is that the one your on about Hippy?
That's the one! I'd just about negotiated with him to have this and the Barry Kitson Dredd page for £100 and some drokker jumped in and they were gone! :-[
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290790246241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I see no bids are listed.
If thats indeed the case, then it seems a lot of private sales, via E-bay, are happening for 2000ad art, of late.
Not sure if i like that, :-\
Me neither but it seems to be the name of the game these days...
Not me this time
Of course they are actually breaking Ebay rules by doing this, not that they'd care. But it's rather unfair for people to do this. Probably worse off for the sellers as well as they're getting less than they would have got!
Ebays rules aint tha real worlds rules.

How about this Aaagh! original art catalogue from '97:

So... where's my Proteus...? ;) Aaagh! :lol:
I think I still have that catalogue somewhere myself, I ended up buying the Condo page in the middle after all the Apocalypse war pages were snapped up :)
I got some Ace Trucking art from Arrgh for £10
The guy who ran it was a nice guy
I'd love to find one page of Henry Flint's "Deadlock" - I bought two of a three page sequence from him that I'd previously adapted into a short animation at Dreddcon in about 2002/3 (?). He'd sold the third that day, it featured the character The Accountant. I've always wondered if it was someone from this board who bought it.

Great stuff, Iain! Time for a re-read, I think...
Brilliant! In the absence of Charles Saatchi saving and archiving these for the nation, I'm happy these are going to a good home, Jack. Well done for getting a page that's so funny, and which features one of my all-time favourite one-off characters, Ocks. If we ever saw him bustin' heads back on the streets of The Big Meg, I can't remember it; but I imagine he'd be like one of James Ellroy's violent bull cops.
Beautiful pages, congratulations.

Is there any chance he was actually only caught in nets by aliens and placed in suspended animation? That would be good.

These weren't featured on Artdroids were they? Does he have a secret stash? :o
No, not on Artdroids, and secret stash? Well, dunno about that, but i think he has a couple left. If your interested, then drop him a line. He dont bite.
And talking of Mr Dayglo, this page was unfortunatley delayed (recieved today!), but he pulled out all the stops to ensure it arrived ASAP. Many thanks Rufus, your a star!
So one more then, and thats me done, ;) The very first appearence of War Marshal 'mad dog' Kazan.

I'd love to but I have bought a page I'm VERY excited about that means my art budget is depleted - all will be revealed in good time... :-X
Can't believe he still had that page!,when I asked him for a page with sov judges on he sent me pictures of about five, I nearly got that one instead of the one I ended up buying !! Great page...
I thought I saw someone say he didn't have anymore? :P
I desperately want one but just don't have the money!

Only Apoc war page he had mind.
I think, as of now, Rufus has two more Apoc War pages left, that he's selling.
Awesome pages!
It's raining OG's!

Just saw a Ron Smith Judge Child Quest DPS on eBay and looking at the close-ups, something struck me as odd... A couple of heads have been pasted on - nothing particularly strange there (even one of the images of Chopper on the page I have received the same treatment), but these don't seem to be by Ron Smith - look more like Robin Smith to me, or is it just my brain acting up? I think Robin Smith was art editor at some point, but wasn't that later than this?
With all things Block Mania/Apocalypse War related at the fore, i was having a re-read last night, and this panel has always struck me as odd. More Robin Smith tampering? Its not Ron Smith art, thats for sure.

my all-time favourite one-off characters, Ocks. If we ever saw him bustin' heads back on the streets of The Big Meg, I can't remember it; but I imagine he'd be like one of James Ellroy's violent bull cops.
The gaps in my prog collection mean i cant be certain, but i think Ocks may no longer be with us, :'(
And thanks for the kind words Sauchie, glad you like the pages!
Theres some great guys on this thread, doing a sterling job for the archives. Just happy to be doing my bit.
Didn't Ocks first appear in the line up of judges being briefed by Cal in The Day the Law Died?...last I recall he lost an arm in battle in a shanty outside MC1 (drawn by Ron Smith)...apologies if you have covered this.
Finally got my hands on those Hicklenton pages. Took some quick snaps. I'll really have to wait for some daylight to get better ones, they're absolutely incredible pages and these photos do them no justice. There's a lot of pasting of different artwork, especially page 49.

I want that Thoth page Gruddamnit!
The sheer torment Hicklenton captures in Torquemada's eyes on that last page. Genius.
Superb Hicklenton pages - his take on Torque really emphasised the sordid nature of the character, which Pat was also increasingly hinting at (not that it was ever in doubt.) I know exactly what you mean about photos not doing them justice - I own the art for a complete episode of 'Deathbringer' and the level of fine detail is phenomenal.

That was one of the two pages he sent me via email when I wasn't sure what other artwork he had. Almost fell off my seat when I saw what it was! Actually, that's a pretty calm reaction, my brain almost exploded.
I literally cannot put into words how amazing it is in person. There's so much going on.

Ah, I've seen your Deathbringer pages over on COF, they're sublime - that splash of Purity is really something else.
You'd really need to photograph the pages in tiny segments to try and show the detail. I'm tempted to bring them into work and scan them up on the big flatbed scanners.
WOW - those are some awesome pages.
Now where have I seen page 57 from?
Didn't someone from the threeA boards own that?
Can't recall. Gah!

Previously posted on page three of this thread, Paul. Not popped up on the 3A board (I checked, just for the sake of your sanity).
Ah yeah, I posted a pic of page 57 a good while ago, apologies for any confusion. Just thought I'd put them all in one post together :)
Just for posterity sake, that page also came from the same stall in Canterbury. So all of these pages went from John's dad -> the two sellers I bought them from and that's it.
I dug out my Best of 2000AD from 94 which had the whole story printed in it. Pages 57 and 58 are side by side, kind of made me want to get the two of them framed like that together! :)
A quick question for the users on this thread; as a neo-novice collector of original art / sketches / art prints etc. I was wondering if any of you could recommend a decent folio / folder for holding the art in?
Ebay has resulted in bupkiss.
Would help if the supplier is located in Eire, as postage fees are extortionate these days!
Cheers.
I frame mine and hang them on the wall so I can see them! Why would you want to hide them away?
I got an A1 jobby as I have a habit of buying art without asking the size lol.
Theres some nice fake leather looking ones out there. Spend good money on the wallets as the last thing you want is for the image to transfer. Forget the material now. Ming will know as he was looking into it.
Anyway I got a job lot deal from an ebayer on the outside. I'll try to find out.
Mylar, thats the name of the wallets!
Doesn't look like he's trading on ebay no more. Bloody helll it aint half bleak on there for A1 folders ha!

Hello,
I'm not 100% sure if this is the correct place to post this , but it seems the most obvious. My apologies if I erred.
I'll be at the Thoughtbubble festival next weekend, as I'm hoping many of you will. I'll be at table #172 in the New Dock Hall. Come and say hi.
I'll be trying to sell a lot of artwork that I will have brought with me across the Atlantic. Among witch will be 2 Nikolai Dante splash pages and 2 covers. I don't sell many covers or splashes , so this is a bit exceptional. I've been putting them up on my blog, so you can see what's on offer.

That's it , go about your business.
Simon.

I do usually but that Deadlock cover is gorgeous!
Congratulations, dale. Thirteen year old me spent long hours trying to copy those pages, and concluded that Bisley must have been drawing everything on A1 (like Fabry) to get it to look so perfect - especially since he said he drew that series with really cheap disposable pens. If thirteen year old me could have seen how great those pages look in the flesh he would have been sick. For the sake of thirteen year old me, are those pages A2 or A3?
Quote from: sauchie on 14 November, 2012, 08:41:48 PM...Bisley must have been drawing everything on A1 (like Fabry)
The Fabry page I have (from Slaine the King) is a lot smaller than A1; standard art-board size I think, about A2 at a guess. If he did earlier work on A1, I'd LOVE to see it...

I'm sure I remember reading that
Tomb of Terror was rendered on A1, but I blether pish all the time.
One of the things you learn when collecting original 2000ad art, is that some of it is absolutely mahoosive.
The largest pages i have are from the Dead Man (which, if ive got my sizes right, are just slightly over A2), and there large enough!
A page at A1, would be unreal.

Christ Dale, I love how you so nonchalantly pull something out like that Deadlock Bisley cover.
By far my favourite 2000AD cover ever. So happy to see a collector like yourself owns it.
I know this is a 2000ad original art thread
And I know its really about displaying art you own

Here's my lastest pride and joy. A page I'm particularly happy with from the lovely Simon Fraser.

That Klegg page is a corker - you don't see quality like that every day. 'Tis the stuff that dreams are made of (and revisited insurance quotes).

Tell me about it! Every time I look at this thread I immediately fly off to ebay and start searching. As a result, my framing money gets spent on more art - which once it arrives, is stored in a box.
Have to seriously cut the credit card in half and start using the money to get stuff up on the walls.
That's a lovely page from McCarthy there; good catch Ming!

The colours on that Cam Kennedy page (I assume that's Light and Darkness War) are astonishing!

Some really incredible pieces there Dale. That Nemesis page especially.
So did you really did sell off a good bit of your collection, only to buy some more? Excellent, and a true addict if so!
Nice one Dale. That O'Neill page is fucking awesome. I actually own the next page of the story. My older brother lent me the 35 quid on a visit to London many, many moons ago. You ever decide you don't need it anymore, I hope you'll keep me in mind. Haha! Beautiful collection though. Well done!

Cam was for my 30th so hands off!

This arrived today from a fellow forumite. He's pretty good, isnt he. Should be in the prog, really ;)

Wow, what really surprises me is that the publishing statement is pasted straight onto the original art. Don't know how I expected this to be done, some kinda printing magic I guess, but never expected it to be done like that!
Super sweet in every way. Huge congrats on snagging this page Mark! :thumbsup:
A page from prog one - blimey!
I think this page more than any other gave a clue that 2000ad wasn't going to be a normal comic - who creates a team strip and then murders virtually the whole team at the end of episode one?
Slightly off topic (although a lot of the same creators were working on it) has anyone got/seen any artwork from Scream?

Yeah, was lucky and got them at the charity auctions at Bristol all those years ago!
Funnily enough I don't have that many original Tooth art, many sketches, but the big pieces are things like Hellblazer by Will Simpson, Asterix by Glenn Fabry, things like that but that doesn't fit this thread does it?
But I do have this:

A very lovely page, that Skullmo.
And that Deadlock by Simon Coleby is summat else indeed!
Managed to snag another Dredd prequel page that Henry Flint was selling on E-bay.
Wanted a page featuring Dredd, and a page featuring Ma-Ma, so ive been lucky in that.
And a nice little bonus from Henry was included along with the Ma-Ma page.

Slightly OT, but I just picked up a page from the old UK Games Workshop Warhammer comic. Its from an ace strip called 'Bloodquest' by 2000AD stalwart Colin MacNeil,

Yep, I think that style that colin also did for 'Fiends' is my preferred one of his, he was really knocking them out of the park!
The thing I dislike about this thread is that it inspires me go out and do silly things like buy this page, which was delivered today.

There really is a lot of nice art in this thread, isn't there? Great to see more Colin Wilson!
Oh one day, one day I'll own a piece of Colin Wilson art, that one is particularly nice.
I love this thread :P
A nice vintage Colin Wilson Dredd page would be grand to have.
He's one of those 2000ad artists that hit the ground running. Just lovely stuff!

Yeah - and I'd love to see more of Colin's work from before he started on 2000AD; there's not much of it about but what I've seen was amazing. His first 2000AD work was phenomenal (the Dredd page by Colin that I have is from his first commissioned story, although some Future Shocks saw print first) and he just go better and better... Personally, I like the stripped-back style a little less than the earlier work but he's still a fantastic artist.

The little bits I've seen of his Blueberry stuff is quite stunning as well, though annoying in trying to find a linkie for here I can't track it down, either my librarian skills have grown weak or its disappeared?
I'm definitely planning on tracking down the Blueberry books next year - it's bugged me for years that I've never read those.
Colin did a Blueberry sketch for me years ago, and it's lovely...

I had a chat to the bloke at Cinebooks at Leeds and he was saying that they are working on getting the rights to Blueberry. He didn't say too much more, but it would be so exciting to see a new series of these coming out and were better than Cinebooks.
Bloody love that sketch the ease with which in a few (I won't say simple) lines he evokes a western background is just stunning
That is a lovely sketch!
Yep, I've always wanted to buy the Colin Wilson 'Blueberry' books.
The 'Into The Shadow of The Sun' books are cool too. I've got one in english, one in french, still need to pick up the other one. They'd be cool all translated in a compilation.

Yeah, Into the Shadow of the Sun is definitely one that needs translating and reprinting... I've got vol.1 (Rael) and would love to read the rest of the story. Colin mentioned a reprint / translation was something he was hoping to discuss with the original publishers, so I'll ask him if there's any news next time I'm in touch.
For anyone interested, Rael is easy to get via eBay...

With thanks to Dale for helping realise a lifetimes ambition ... (http://picture059.jpg)
And to Mr Adlard for a nice touch of personalising ...
(http://img_0552.jpg)
On the point of Mr Wilson. Always loved Rael and been looking for the last two parts for years. Would love to see them translated but would settle for the French and put aside any prejudices. For my money some of his best work outside of his Rogue Trooper stuff (which for my money was always some of the best).
A great page Tjm86, cant beat a bit o' Adlard.

So pleased to see this sketch by Colin Wilson. He is one of my favourite artists. I remember doing an art project where I tried to copy a Rogue Trooper's story illustrated by this gifted art droid. I loved the dynamic nature of his inking which looked to me as if it were done quickly and skillfully with a brush.

If it's anywhere near as addictive as collecting comics then I will have to tread carefully! Think I will have to settle for a few choice bits of tooth history. Gutted that the recent Ezquerra cover on ebay (prof 250 I think) went as high as it did (£1200+ ) as would dearly love a piece of that Gentleman's work!

That was a lovely cover (featuring the East Meg Diktatorat) so not suprised it went for that amount. Certainly vintage 2000ad art doesnt come cheap.
So, expensive
as well as addictive!
If your after an Ezquerra piece then you could message Rufus Dayglo via his
Artdroids (http://www.artdroids.co.uk/) site.
He's often selling nice stuff.

I went to look at your ABC Warriors Bisley stuff, pretending to myself that I had money to make an offer (as you do!) and noticed they're all sold!
To whoever bought them - you lucky lucky gits!!! :P
Yeh, i saw a couple of bits i wouldnt have minded as well. I thought if they dont sell ill make an offer...
Their new owners have them displayed up on CAF as we speak, :(
Had a big selling week all the ABC Warriors went to good new homes ...and the Bolland is going this Saturday as well .... its heart breaking , but needs must ..
You sold that Bolland cover... :o
Several things I would have liked but poor :(
145 and 176 ...go on who is it ?? ;)
Bit cryptic there Dale, but are you referring to the two Ezquerra covers?
Are they up for grabs - if so a linky would be nice.
What's the going rate for an Ezquerra cover these days?
Would love to buy one. Haven't a clue what a reasonable offer is though!

If only I had a spare few grand lying around...

Quote from: Minty on 10 January, 2013, 10:26:16 PMStunning Kevin O'Neill work. I'd be interested to know how much the Tube Warrior cover sold for.
Just over £2k, if I remember right. It was cheaper than the other covers anyway (mine included, although when I factor in the discount I got I paid less than that).
These are all being sold on behalf of Kev O'Neill, so most of the cash goes to him rather than the dealer - that's part of the reason I was willing to fork out a hefty chunk of cash (the other part being the glorious artwork that I've been in love with since I was a kid).
As for condition - as mint as they get from this period. These are all bits of art that Kev has held onto until now. I posted pics of my cover (Prog 230) some pages back, but it's here with some close-ups if anyone wants to take a look:

They're sort of the price I would expect for his work nowadays, especially from this period. Good to hear these are being sold on behalf of Kevin O'Neill.
That's just such a great cover, Ming, your blurb accompanying it sums up how i'd feel owning that
Tempted to put my meagre collection up on the site, need to get some good photos first.
I need to take new photos for all my artwork then I might get round to putting them up on CAF.
Any suggestions on best way people have done it?
Quote from: opaque on 11 January, 2013, 11:45:27 AM

Any suggestions on best way people have done it?
If it helps (and it won't) I'm always disappointed with my photos of my artwork. I've recently fluttered my eye lashes at one of the admin ladies where I work and she is kindly scanning the smaller (A4) pieces for me and, I would suggest, that's the way to go. I'm considering investing in one of the 'wand'scanners to capture the larger pieces. Has anyone used one of those?
Scanning is definitely the best way forward, but any old crappy photos will do! I've got access to a decent scanner at work (A3) that just emails me pdfs - most pieces of older art have to be scanned in two sections, some require even more scans to get complete coverage (I think we've discussed mahoosive art earlier in this thread) then a bit of jiggery-pokery to crop and assemble the images.
The main reason I scan stuff is the level of detail it shows up - it's nice to be able to do justice to the art, as far as I'm able.
Yeah looking at my past photos (on the 2000ad Artwork gallery) they aren't too great.
I've got one of those great scanners that send pdf's at work but I don't want to lug all my artwork to work and back so I might have to just take some more photos. It's getting a uniform light source so you don't get flash or sun obscurring the artwork. But maybe it would be worth bringing them in sometime and just get them done.
The Robohunter pieces would certainly need a couple of scans I agree!
I think scanning is the way to go then.
Fear I'll have to take the Mahossive Halo Book 3 pages to a professional to do them justice.
On a related note what are folks take on reducing down the surround to any original artwork they own?
I mean in the case of having them mounted, or maybe just for ease of storage.
Some of my Gibson pages have acres of white paper space around them and when talking to a professional framer recently the option came up to reduce them down.
Sacrilege?
Takes something away?
Practical?
Wondered what people with collections thought.
It's difficult isn't it! I must confess to trimming a couple of pieces to get them to fit in my 'early days' but wouldn't dream of it now! I love all the pencil notes and bleed into the margins so, even early on, wouldn't have trimmed those but I shouldn't think it would reduce value..?
I store my artwork in a large map plan chest so storage size isn't an issue but if you are getting them professionally mounted then trimming the large white spaces on a lot of the Gibson artwork is a necessity from the pieces I have.
But for others I'd rather have a larger frame and mount the artwork on a plain background as the 'outline' of the page gives it something I think, rather than a pristine edged border.
One example of this for me would be my Colin MacNeil Devlin pages. Beautifully done and you have the uneven edges where the lines of the page boundary are drawn over the artwork. They would look good either way but I think it looks nice as it is.
My problem is generally that I have so much that I could never hope to get anymore than a small amount framed. I'd like some form of more secure storage though (in terms of what it is in inside the drawers) as it's mainly loose or in the bags they came in. You can't look at them very easily like that.
Might be worth getting my Halo pages done in proper frames when I finally get my own house though :P
The only thing I'd ever consider cutting off from one of my original pieces is something that makes me grind my teeth and weep...
...that bit at the top where its says '£10'.
Hah!
Those were the days.
Dale takes the most terrible photos lol.
He does!

Yes i also originally had (bad!) photos up on CAF, but its nearly impossible to get a good shot, and really you want to show the art off as best you can.
Most of my art now is direct scans, - even managed to get a direct scan of my mahoosive Apoc War DPS over xmas, which is summat i thought id struggle to ever get.
The best route, as has been mentioned
opaque, is to find an A3 scanner with the email function, so it may be worth taking your pieces to work and doing it that way. It may be a bit of a fuss to do that but it really does show off the art the best.
As for trimming art for framing purposes, well i guess i can kinda see why you'd maybe need to do that sometimes, but i wouldnt dream of having it done. But thats just my personal opinion.

Tell me about it! Every waking moment is spent scouring t'internet for art but at least I'm not dreaming about it yet! :P
There was a mini trend for this (colouring in, that is - not cutting out panels) in the States in the early 80's - i think.
Original black and white Marvel comic art - stuff like pages from the original movie adaptation of Star Wars - amongst other stuff, was coloured in by somebody.
Beautiful and one-off pieces of art ruined forever. Shudder, :o
i trim all my pages and pack my nest with the left overs ....
Hey i take great photo's ....just not of art ....
After a rubbish day working I arrived home to this beauty. And from one of my favourite Nemesis stories.

I loved the ink wash Talbot did on that story.

It looks even better in the flesh and is painted on lovely Daler line and wash board :D
Really happy with this. I have another page too which I will add when i can get a good scan.
Talbot is a superb artist, and those panels do look great, dont they.
Is this a page from Diceman? I do have the full set, but i think ive only bothered with the Dredd one. If so, ill have to dig these out
It is Dice Man, isn't it! 'You Are Torquemada - The Garden of Alien Delights' or something along those lines. The art was just stunning on that, styled after Hieronymus Bosch(sp?)...

Yes that is the one. I used to take Nemesis Book 6 (Titan) to school and read this story over and over again.
As well as having great art it is my favourite Diceman story and has some really funny parts in it.

Here we go. This one is not as good a scan as it came out too dark. It has much nicer shades in real life :P.
Gorgeous! I looked at buying that over on Mr. Talbot's website but Must. Stay. Focused! :lol:

Ooh no, I mean see in general.
Was only a few Diceman issues so not that common
this is for Skullmo , sure i posted this before ??

Two stunning pages there, Dale! Did that Apocalypse War cover appear for sale a short while back? I remember seeing it fairly recently...
And that Apoc War cover is mighty sweet too. Perhaps my fave Apoc War cover, TBH.
I think i asked Alex about this last year, but to no avail.
Blimey Dale, if that's what you pick up when you're not supposed to be buying anything...
Top purchases!

A big thank you to Steve, for this.
Signed in pen means it was a legit sale, unsigned means it may have slipped out during the production process. He wrote about it in "The Art of Brian Bolland" book. He reckons there were about 110 pages never returned to him and he considers them stolen.
He doesn't mince his words. "All the pages that were returned to me and sold were signed by me. If you own one without my signature it was stolen and I want it back."
Two beauties there Dale...Wow !!!

After owning many Bolland pages , i kinda know that and it is common knowledge ..... but there has been a few cases of where he didn't sign after selling them .... i had one such cover .... it was sold to another artist/ collector and pass around a few times .... i know it was paid for and the history ....

So are you saying that they're all stolen or that they're legitimate sales and he hasn't signed them? I've confused myself... :-[

No i'm saying Bolland has sold artwork and forgot to sign the artwork , otherwise he would get these back , yes he did have pages stolen back in the 80's .....
What i mean , not all Bolland artwork that has no signature is stolen , if you get offered a page , it would be best to ask directly Brian , not that he ever answers emails ....
Anyway here's mine :
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/005-24.jpg)
Hope you don't think I was trolling. I've never done the forensics on CAF before, surprising how many are unsigned. One of my Bolland Dredds is signed in red, the other signed by the inker Gary Leach. I'm also confused now.

That's great, you own one of the finest pages ever drawn for comics IMO. I don't think that series of pages has ever been surpassed.
A bit late to the party, but yeah - those two pages are insanely good, Dale. Surprised Alex let them go, so you must have been fairly generous to shake those loose, as he must have known they'll be impossible to replace. Anyway, great stuff.
Same to you, Iain - another nice Cursed Earth page in the bag!
If you are reasonably certain the art is among the many pages stolen/lost/stored under a leaking tap (...that was one story) you could mention it on his blog. He has posted on the subject, so I'm pretty sure that would get a reaction.

Didn't know about this issue myself, it makes for really interesting (and saddening!) reading. Must be absolutely awful to have produced pages to such a high and legendary standard and just not knowing where they are.
From the looks of things, I don't think Bolland even knows himself which pages are missing. Apparently he can't locate this page now. (if I created something like this and couldn't locate it I'd be crying myself to sleep every night until it was found!)

I think this one may be lost within his own collection. I may be mistaken, but wasn't it this that he had in his studio and now can't find?...If so, it's not one of the many that walked or were destroyed. But yes, heart breaking.
The extreme answer is a big spreadsheet courtesy of Barney with a load of CAF links. It's doable but a bit stalkerish. Knowing this would any of you buy an unsigned Bolland?
There's way too much art not listed on CAF to make that worthwhile, to be honest. Either people not aware, not interested or just determined to keep what they have out of the public eye. Those missing Bolland pages are never going to surface and I doubt we'll ever really know what still exists and what's vanished without trace.
And no, I don't think I'd buy an unsigned or questionable page; too much respect for the creators for that.
In the excellent book the Art of Brian Bolland (recommended reading) Brian recounts a tale from the late 70s where he went to the Daily Express office and bought some Jeff Hawke artwork from a couple of flunkies that had access to the store room where all the strip art was left. And the irony that a few years later a similar thing would be done to his art.
Incredible scores of late!
Top stuff.
There was a really nice page from Dead Man got snapped up yesterday. I was about to up my bid to about £70 on it after having been ahead in the, up to then, lacklustre chase, in the last few minutes. I still expected to be snipped at the last moment, but it was worth a punt I figured. Alas by the time I got to it it'd already got to over £80 and then the action really took off. Even left behind in the dust as I was, it was worth watching the end as it got to over £130.
Anybody here lucky enough to win it?

Shame you couldnt snag that page Colin. Those Dead Man pages are superb - plus its a top story, as well.
It went for about the right money, i think. Most DM pages go for around the hundred-ish mark.
Some nice pieces - Redondo Nemesis etc still up for grabs on E-bay at the moment.
QuoteThere was a really nice page from Dead Man got snapped up yesterday.
Sorry Colin, that was me. Yeah, I got it for slightly less than the last Dead Man I bought (that was about 150 I think) - but significantly more than several pages I bought about a decade ago, which were about 15 quid each. I must have about 7 or 8 Dead Man interior pages now (not all up on CAF yet) plus the cover to 652.
Nowt to say sorry for Greg, well done for winning it. I was just amazed that it stayed at around £60 for so long. Long before the end (in terms of bids if not time) it'd slipped out of my reach (which after this is in danger of going up, as it was such a tempting piece!) and really glad someone here got it.
I love the way that page in particular feels so like a western (the whole thing is of course, but that page so specifically), something John Ridgway does so well. It looks like its come straight out of Shane, the running through cornfield almost being Twainesque. Bloody great page so chuffed for you.
It's nice when it's people on here that get things. At least then we know they are going to good homes/know where to go when you win the lottery :P

Cheers, Colin - yeah, that cornfield panel really struck a chord with me too. A lad and his dog, sneaking off for adventure, still full of youthful enthusiasm: how could it possibly go wrong?
For those keeping crowbar-antic-related score, I got the Bad Company page that was up on ebay recently too. And the 'Deathtrap Dungeon' picture. I wasn't buying much original art last year - after getting hold of my 'holy grail' page from Bad Company II, the bug stopped biting for a while, and I felt content with my lot. But just when I thought I was out, they pulled me back in... there's been a lot of great stuff on ebay alone in the last month.

Good to hear, Greg! Post 'em up if you get chance; some nice pieces you've picked up there.
It appears I also won the Redondo Nemesis too... my poor wallet!
Cheers ming... my CAF site is in dire need of updating, so once I sort out some photos / scans for that, will stick 'em up here too.
Yeah there have been some lovely pages recently - all too much for me to afford unfortunatly. But glad to see forum members are getting them :-)

Okay can I ask a question (Dale please look away now). I was on the verge (literally I was two button clicks away) from bidding on one of Dale's pieces over on eBay - the Paul Marshal, Tyranny Rex page BUT and here's the thing the reason I was going to go for it was I love me some John Smith and I do like Tyranny and I do like Paul Marshal BUT I'm buying it cos its piece I like and can easily afford and its there, now available to me.
Now here's the thing I've seen some of the stuff some of you fellas get and while I'm not in your league yet, I seem to be getting he bug (I was warned). I got a Dante page and not just any, one I really wanted. I missed out on the really nice Dead Man page, which was a bit special. So I'm thinking maybe I could up my game a little and start looking for a wish list of stuff, (building up to getting an Old One Eye Page before I die!) rather than just going for bits I like and can afford that turn up.
So I'm looking at the Tyranny page (its a nice page), but I'd rather pay a more for a Jim Baikie 'New Statemen' page. So I stopped myself bidding (for now Dale I do like the page) and did a search, no luck. So before I go any further, do any of you fellas know if Jim Baikie New Statesmen pages ever come up and what I might expect to pay for one? Just want to know if I'm wasting my time holding out for 'Holy Grail' pages (either availability or cost) and should go for nice next best things?
In short I'd say go for pages that you like when you can afford them! You'll quickly find your 'price' escalating as your collection increases and the more boxes you tick, the easier it'll be to ignore incidental pages. Start small and build! That seems to be the way it's worked for me anyway... I've never seen a 'New Statesmen' page crop up anywhere and there don't appear to be any on CAF either but they must be out there somewhere...
Colin, it sounds like you've got your head on straight... It's hard to focus your sights on particular pieces and to ignore cheap-and-available stuff, especially with limited funds, but I think it's something that will really pay off in the long run. I'd sooner have a handful of pages I really love than shedloads of so-so stuff that I have no time to enjoy or space to display. (As it is I'm nearing the end of my own collecting odyssey, I think.)
Get yourself a wishlist and start putting out feelers in the collecting community (CAF, people here and Wake's site are a good start) to try and figure out how the land lies regarding the things you're aiming at. Some people will play cards very close to their chest but on the whole people are helpful and enthusiastic (at least that's been my experience). Prioritise what you want and prepare to wait; gives a chance to build up funds anyway (another reason to avoid impulse-buys of 'lesser' art).
As for Jim Baikie New Statesman; no idea, but I'll have a think and get back to you...
As usual, all of the above is just my personal opinion and probably contrary to that of everyone else!
:)
I've always thought go for what you feel you want, it doesn't have to be the piece from the 'best' or 'most popular' story, it should be what means the most to you. Does it bring back memories, is it an artist you really like, is there something in the story that gets you?
I have some big story pieces, some odd pieces from smaller stories, I bought one direct from Boo Cook because I really felt sorry for the little alien gonig to be killed by the priest in Asylum so I asked if I could buy the artwork and I have 13 ABSOLUTELY gorgeous pieces of Colin MacNeil's Devlin Waugh that I am incredibly happy with.
Most recently I suppose the last thing I bought was a Paul Marshall Tyranny Rex and Simon Jacob Armoured Gideon from Dale :) The Tyranny because I love the art even though it doesn't have Tyranny Rex herself in it. The Armoured Gideon piece because it's probably the page I remember the most from it.
My wishlist is really for odd pieces and I'd like to get more artists work I don't already have but my only real wishlist is for a piece of Ezquerra Apocalypse War!
Go with what feels good is what I'd say :)
And be prepared to spend lots of money!

Please remember any artwork i have on ebay , i am happy to do private deals , rather than give ebay loads of fee's .....
Over the last few years i have found myself more and more of a collector than a dealer , and in a fantasy world i would keep it all , but sadly having a collection like mine which seems to be going towards the high end prices , i must sell the smaller pieces .....
For any new collector of artwork , the best thing to remember buy from me .... lol , buy if you like it .... my stock is slowy going down and one day it will be gone , since them artists are using pesky computers and no new art will be sold ....
Aye, youve got your head on alright Colin. But be warned - ive waited for pages to turn up, or have had one eye on one page, and one on another and missed out on both!
So if there's summat you love (and you should only buy stuff you love) and you can snag it, then snag it.
Thanks to everyone for their responses* its set my mind in the right direction I think. Apologise to Dale I'm going to hang fire and start drawing up a list of short medium and long term aims (doing that alone is going to be fun I suspect).
I've already got my eye on a Colin Wilson Dredd over at Comic Art Fan (whatever its called) and think I'll be getting in touch with Scott McCloud as I know he had some Zot! pages left a couple of years ago (actually maybe longer) that I really liked...
So fantasy one day you never know list so far

Not so much tickle by fancy, as brutally kick and beat up my fancy while mocking its feeble bank balance (see you two. Yeah you. You two kids that got me up at 6am this morning I'm holding you responsible). That's just lovely.
Kirby's 2000ad series is one of my favourites. Which reminds me I've got to track down the treasury of the movie itself...

I've gotta wait for the outcome of an MOT before I even look too hard :S
Oh! Some nice pages on offer there. That first listed page, and the second one (boot knife! - a page that made me chuckle) especially.
Just got these back from the framers, sorry for the poor picture quality, they'll get hung tomorrow morning. All are originals and mostly Cliff Robinson. I also have a lot of Cliff's sketches for these as well. They are so detailed and stunning.

Well, you are obviously, you lucky bugger!
An incredible collection of art, thanks for sharing :o :D
Great stuff , i really like the 1738 Cliff Robinson cover .... a modern classic ... it would just fit nicely into my collection ... hint hint .. ;)
Very nice stuff! That Deadman page and the brainblooms cover, especially.
Not really considered framing my art, but seeing these makes me think i should (for some, at least.)

Thanks for that heads up about this earlier James, I contacted Carl regarding Trifecta page 15, but ended up buying the iconic page 1 in the end.
Can't wait til the post arrives!
Well with all my talk of wish lists, which I have now created one and its so impossibly long... anyway as I already have a lovely Carl Critchlow Dredd page he didn't feature (well not on Dredd I will get a Lobster Random page at some point). So I have my eye on a few Colin Wilson pages and BANG this comes along and I'm buying them 'cos they're there again.
Well that's not strictly true now is it. This is a very significant Dredd story and so I'm really chuffed to have purchased one of the pages. I went for the opposite end to Link Prime and choose page 28. I almost went for page 25 but as I said (typed) to Carl, there a quite a few pages of Dredd being kick ass (but man does he look so very kick ass here) and not so many featuring all three of the main characters from his story and I love that cityscape. Can't wait to get it.
Thanks for the heads up James really appreciated.
So there you go my latest purchase an early 41st Birthday present to myself. Now to replenish the funds so I can get back to those Colin Wilson pages...
Good stuff, Colin - glad to see you've wisely chosen to ignore all the advice I offered :lol:
Heh, no - makes sense to me, really. As for Colin Wilson, if these are pages from Royd (who pops in here from time to time) why not drop him a line and see if he'll put something on hold for you? I'm fairly sure he'll be happy to do that.
Yeah they are Royd's pages. I've got it down to 5 (!) to select from and was wondering about contacting him as I've noticed a number of pages on hold since creating my wish list and did wonder if I should do that.
I had enough trouble picking my Trifecta page today I think I'll leave a final decision for the Colin Wilson page until another day as I just looked at them all (via comicartfans pages) again just now and I decided that, yes I love them all and will sell my body so I can get them all... I think it might have to be organs as I suspect the other way won't raise much... ahem ... anyway sorry...
Ming if its any consolation my wish list exists AND I e-mailed Scott McCloud about some Zot! pages and had a lovely (and as it turns out convenient) reply saying he hopes to get sorted selling what he has sometime next year.
I hope you are proud by your humble student oh master.
Hi Colin,
post up some images when you have made the dirty deal :lol: I would like to see some of those panels up close, they look great.

I have no new art to share and there's nothing on the horizon for me for a while, so in case anyone missed it I'll post this Dave Gibbons Rogue concept piece that I picked up last year:

Now you're just showing off! :lol:
ah its a wonderful prelim/concept piece Ming! I have a couple of the rough pencil sketches and they are amongst the cheapest and most satisfying pieces I have. I bought them early in my collecting frenzy and they give you the feeling that you are owning a really important part of the 'process'. I have them framed very simply alongside a description of the overall RT concept and storyline. This one is the step beyond and is really terrific.....
Quote from: malak brood on 31 January, 2013, 08:45:24 PM...alongside a description of the overall RT concept and storyline.
Is that just a copy of something that's been published, or something else? Sounds great, anyway! I just remembered I was going to try to get some 'Rogue memories' from Cam to add to the comments from Colin Wilson. I should probably ask Dave Gibbons as well, but I think his side of things is probably fairly well documented.
When are you going to start hurting our brains with your lovely art?
:o
oh people don't want to see my collection, there is too much good stuff here already....maybe if I pick up a couple of new bits?? I seem to remember there was a really good description of the RT story and backdrop with pictures of the roughs in one of the 2000ad annuals back in the day which i kinda may have possibly borrowed (couldn't comment)...not sure which one tho.....

I saw that 20 or more yrs ago...I've always thought that a stunning work... I noticed something about Gibbons work recently, no matter how far back you go, there's almost no change in his work (even in to the fanzine art of the 70's). It's as though his work has always been 'mature'...certainly when compared to everybody else on those same progs...very strange and quite brilliant. It's all still very current.

not sure if i have listed this page before , but somebody wanted to see it ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/001-20.jpg)
Indeed I did.
Cheers Dale, fantastic stuff.
Here's the latest page I've bought. The last page of Trifecta from the mighty Carl Critchlow (I've used the scan he sent me as I don't have a scanner). Its lovely.
Great stuff there, Colin. Kinda tempted myself now!
Beautiful stuff Colin.
As you mentioned above, it's a very significant 2000AD story, and a modern classic IMHO.
I'm a bit of a pretzel when it comes to attaching pics using this eye-straining-slate, so will stick up page 1 as soon as I get the chance...
Well in a fit of self indulgence and very good timing I got my latest pieces today, and before you wonder why all these treats are coming my way (and what the good timing is) today is my Birthday - Yah me!
So yeah with thanks to Dale I got a three page sequence I've always really loved from Medivac 316 and a Paul Marshal Tyranny Rex page, which while its black and white broke my resolve (well that and the fact that I know both Leatherjack and Dragonkind are out of reach for the time being) as its bloody lovely and up close quite astonishing.
Ming these are wish lists pages too believe it or not so its working, kinda, that Colin Wilson page is a little off yet...
Happy birthday Colin, and congrats on that sweet haul.

Great to hear, Colin - you obviously know what you like, so having that wish-list in mind will definitely pay off. Get on to Royd about the Colin Wilson art though; may as well contact him about it sooner rather than later, and I think he'll keep it aside for you for a couple of months if you want.
Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to seeing what you picked up!

Writer AM, artist JB?
Trifecta Page 1 arrived this week....tis a beauty to behold!
I also got a 'wishlist' Paul Marshall Tyranny Rex page from Dale, and a few others.
I'M BROKE
Good stuff Rich! Nice to see these great Trifecta pages landing on the forum.
And nice to hear you got those other pages - youll be getting addicted!
I wasn't fussed about the art on Trifecta, but it looks really fantastic in its original monochrome form. Congratulations, Link.
Congrats. I would so blow up that bottom panel of Dirty Frank and stick it up somewhere, just to see how people would react.
A birthday buddies and then someone who gets a Trifecta page and a Tyranny page off Dale. We're becoming as one!
Can I ask what Tyranny page you got Link Prime?
Cheers guys, your vindication of my reckless impulse-spending makes it all worthwhile.
And yes Iain, I'm as addicted as an Umpty-head on methadone! :)
@ Colin- it was page 15 from Prog 857.
The pretty poor pic I've taken on my phone below doesn't do it justice.
For me, this was some of Marshall's finest work for 2000AD (excluding Firekind of course).
And just under 30 years (gulp!) after first seeing this page, it lands at my doorstep. Very happy chappy, thats me.
(http://i.imgur.com/w5zXQ4H.jpg)
Any page from Skizz would be a grail for me, but i reckon this one is my Skizz uber-grail.
Its low key, about as low key as its possible to be. And it reads, and looks, like a Brummie version of Grange Hill ! - and it doesnt even feature the title character !!, but its always been the one page that pops into my mind whenever ive thought of Skizz. And being lucky enough to now own it makes me smile.
The following page in the story was up for grabs on e-bay recently, and though i bidded a few times, i didnt have the heart to chase it, as i knew that this page was maybe up for grabs, so i stopped bidding and took the gamble.
And Jim Baikie's art is glorious up close, been well worth the wait.
Cant recall who the writer was offhand, though. Still, whoever he was, he did a good job, ;)
(The page itself is mahoosive, so getting a decent scan and then up onto CAF may take a while)
Well done!
The Skizz stuff is so iconic isn't it :)
Great stuff, Iain - really happy to see you get this one. :thumbsup:
Of all Alan Moore's work Skizz is the one I'd love a page from. Great stuff. Love the choice too.

Spoke to a mate the other day who owns some Skizz pages he bought mid nineties in Birmingham. 8 quid a pop they were. Would I be correct in assuming that'd be cheap even that long ago?
Nice page Judge Jack....canny buying! Oh and I bet you paid slightly more than 8 quid :lol:
Quote from: malak brood on 08 February, 2013, 10:21:44 PM

Came to £10.50 with postage, ;)
Ah, those were the days of dirt cheap pages,
judda fett. £8.00 sounds, and is, a right old bargain.
Was it only a handful of years ago that Wake was selling Halo Jones pages for £30-ish? And people was moaning at that! Saying it was too high. The last page on e-bay went for, i think, £1,800?
Cheers Judge Jack, Yup 8 quid's a bargain any day of the week. Grud knows some of you lot must be sitting on small fortunes :o
And my 2000th post goes to Mr Cam Kennedy!
Just recieved this from the master himself (a total pleasure to deal with, as have been all the Droids ive been in contact with).
Well, what can you say about Cam's art that hasnt already been said? But genius stuff, and he makes it all look so effortless!
(http://i.imgur.com/Myq0kQG.jpg)
Ming, or malak brood may know this story better than me, but somehow a good chunk of Cam's art ended up in the States, and then promptly went MIA.
But luckily for Cam (and us!) it all turned up again. He has a list available for what he selling, so why not drop him a line.
Congratulation, Jack, that's beautiful beyond belief. Where do you live, what are your work hours and do you have old wooden sash windows or double glazing? Given the recent discussion of Bolland's missing pages, I'd be interested in reading the story of Cam's pages and their journey back and forth across the Black Atlantic/Black Market.

One of the things I find amazing is that if you look at Cam's work across any period of time, the details of his ink style can change dramatically -- sometimes it's all scratchy feathering, sometimes it's detailed cross-hatching -- and yet it's always, always unmistakeably Cam.
I'm hugely envious...!
Cheers

I 'ad that Cam Kennedy in the back of me cab once...
The story I got from Cam:
"On one of my trips over to USA (1989) we were staying in Upper New York state for 6 weeks, as we had house swopped with Charlie Vess. I had taken a pile of Dredd pages with me to show and maybe sell. During this trip I met up with and befriended Walt Simenson ( Thor's artist). He insisted on giving me about 50 or 60 of his Thor comics, which he duly signed. For the trip home I had to decide whether to leave the Thors or the Dredds. Towards the end of the holiday we were staying with Rick Veitch, Tom's brother and he said that he would look after the Dredd pages. I must admit I had forgotten about them until about 4 months ago when I was talking to Rick after a long absence. Long and short I sent the postage money and he duly sent them back - it was like having children you haven't seen for years returning home!"That was a couple of years back. I was lucky enough to get pick of the litter, hence my Warlord cover plus my favourite pages from The Big Sleep and Magnificent Obsession. Along with examples of Cam's Rogue and VCs work, I'm a very, very lucky fella.
Oh, and (obviously) fantastic stuff, Iain - a real corker!

ming, that story was much happier than I was expecting. It's nice to hear Cam talking about his art with the a degree of the affection it deservedly attracts here, since he's seemed fairly blasé about his comic work in interviews I've read.

And looking at it again (i cant put it, or the Skizz page down!), its pretty mindblowing that on the Cam page there isnt a single alteration/correction - or any use of white-out. So a full page pencilled, and inked to perfection.
Mightily impressive work!

I love it :)
A page that is both significant and quality! Well done, Sir!
That's a bloody lovely page. If and when I get around to trying for a Cam page that story could well feature very high on my list of wants (right after The Big Sleep).
Cam has definitely had a run on his art since Iain let the cat out of the bag! Pages going left right and centre; maybe even something to me...
Opaque - that's a great page; a really memorable and significant moment as well as just plain great art. Great to see more of Cam's classic art in good hands!
:)
I hope Cam appreciates how much we all love his work :)
I am really happy that it is not only the bit I remember so well (Omar crumbling obviously had an effect on a 10 year old me!) but McGruder resigning as well. A very happy coincidence.
At some point I will be scanning all my artwork for CAF, I refound a page of Bryan Talbot's ABC Warriors from the 1983 annual I'd forgotten about the other day!
An unbelievable page! Fantastic stuff. :thumbsup:
Glad you could snag such a cracker Kev, and one that means a lot to you as well. Cam was deffo sitting on a goldmine with these.
Not much action the last few days - so here is another lovely Cliff Robinson Dredd from my collection:

Mr Dayglo is selling off the original art for the entire and final Apocalypse War episode (http://www.artdroids.co.uk/featureddetail.asp?Piece=4501&Details=1&From=Room).
Only fly in the ointment is that its £5,000. Anyone wanna go shares?
If I can have the last page I still pay you pay in installments over the next 20 years ;)
Three buyers getting two pages each? Or a six man team snagging a page each? (which would mean splitting it all up..)
Dunno how it could be worked out to reduce the cost, and then youve the dilema of who gets what page.....
But id deffo be interested in trying to snag a page(s) from this.
I think it's too expensive to split it up though and you might get several people wanting the same page if it was to be split.
£833 a page is too much. It kind of makes sense as a whole collection though which is why it is the price it is I'm sure.
I really want a Apocalypse War page but even if I had the money for just one page I just don't think I would go for it. Maybe to add to the 'when I win the lottery' list and hope noone buys it till then?
Only needs to be till tomorrow morning ;)
I agree, £833/page is expensive! How much did J3DI's page go for? Nowhere near that much, and there was that cover not so long back that didn't go for a whole lot more...
£465 in the end wasn't it?
That they are the last set of the story, that it's a whole set together and that it's old and rare makes it more valuable than the sum of it's parts so the price is 'fair' in that respect. But that is also a barrier for many people and something that makes splitting it harder as well.
I'm sure theres someone that will go for it at that price though. Sell something else they have (artwork, car, motorbike, wife) to able to get it.
It would be a shame to see this split up, really. Like JJ's McMahon Pin-boing story, it's something that's more impressive complete and makes it far better than the sum of its parts. There are some pages that work well on their own but taken altogether the impact is far greater.
Not that I'd refuse any page from this ;)
Meanwhile, where's that tracking number..?

Is something being tracked? ;)
Yes, it would be almost criminal to split it up, but £5,000....
And i notice that Rufus is now listing a very nice McMahon Dredd page from the brilliant Brain Blooms episode that appeared in prog 18.
Sigh, its all landing at once - again!
Did that 'Barney' page go Iain? Last time I looked, it was still 'on hold'
I havent checked in a while, either.
Not heard owt back from the seller, so i guess the mysterious 'big name artist' is still in the front of the queue in regards to buying this.

Buttonman kept that very quiet, didn't he?
And a dream comes true.
Recieved this earlier today from Mr McMahon. Its based on the episode of the Cursed Earth (prog 83) thats my favourite part of that strip.
Dredd (and Spikes) versus the Legion of the Damned.

To see the pencils, and then the inked version, in scanned form, was midblowing enough, but to actually hold the art in your hands...
Its been great to see all these commissions go up on Mick's blog (and great to see some landing for folks on here, as well) - and of course there's still a few more to come.
And after those, there's another batch due at the end of the year!
Absolutely bloody amazing! You must be chuffed! :D
Very nice size as well!

He's done a tremendous series...and this is about the best, in fact I made that comment the other day on MM's blog...well done!
Absolutely stunning... Really pleased to see how this one turned out, Iain. Definitely the best of Mick's recent commissions. It'll be interesting to see Mick's other commissions as they emerge - I guess a few more are expected for people here, at least.
That's amazing!

He know's how to fill a page ....Great stuff ...
Damn, that's good. Look at the picture of Spikes 78 (?)....what a cracking character panel.
That is perfect. I'm not kidding; if you took a rule and a set of dividers to that page you'd see that the balance of proportions are absolutely literally perfectly in harmony with each other, and the relationship between the areas of black and white leads the eye through that composition flawlessly and effortlessly. That your commission also manages to be dynamic, dramatic, and to demonstrate a great sense of humour, is what makes Mick a genius.
McMahon seems to build up an image (at least in his head) by arranging, layering and combining simple geometric shapes into something much more complex, and if you traced over that image, marking the lines of composition and the arrangement of triangles and hyperbola which all converge on the focal point of that page, the result would look a lot like the formal perfection of cubist art.
Congratulations, Jack - that's a masterpiece.
I have no idea what you just said! Good though, innit! :lol:
If you have an grenade fashioned as an earring, go ahead and pull it Iain...your quest for original art has reached it's apex.

Now that's a ridiculously handy piece of kit - it'll prove very useful in my on-going efforts to get some decent pictures of my art up. Many thanks for that. Here's a couple of recently obtained pieces, mentioned further up the thread:
The Dead Man:
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/dmmod_zps2f52ff28.jpg)
Nemesis Bk 2:
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/Nem2mod_zps0cb1023e.jpg)
Ice is brilliant isn't it :)
It's amazing how many of my pieces just wouldn't fit on an A3 scanner.
It scans straight to my work email so got to copy them tomorrow (and scan the pile of Sin City pencil pages) before I can get combining them.
Refound a few things I'd forgotten about :P
I shouldn't look at this thread. My art buying is on hold while Jr is away at university. Mind you those McMahon commissions are something else.

Ill have to investigate this new gizmo further!
Would you believe i scanned my Apoc War DPS, which it massive - believe me, on a A4 scanner? It took 9 scans to cover the bulk of it, then a whole load of other smaller scans to cover the rest, and then it was ALL stitched together using nowt more than paint...
I must learn to move with the times! :lol:
Will these new scans be going up on CAF, Kev?
And cracking pages,
Greg. Always nice to see Dead Man pages pop up.
They certainly will :)
Bit more Dead Man for you - one of the three Ridgway covers (I believe Mr. Wells has the greatest of the three, but this one is significantly browner):
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/652mod_zpse32a2169.jpg)
A very nice crop of pages, Greg. That Redondo one is probably the standout for me; I really can't see enough of his stuff these days. Great stuff. :)

Lovely Ridgeway - he is a real favourite artist for me and I would love to get my hands on some Deadman (one of my favourite stories).
That Nemesis is fab as well! Lovely stuff!

Cam Kennedy?....Mr Tony Tubbs?
I think were about to witness summat very lovely appear...
A real heavyweight champion of a piece, this one.
Arrived today - and it's simply stunning. Incredibly perfect condition, direct from Cam - it really looks like this was done yesterday. I have a huge soft spot for Cam's art from this period and to get another of his covers is more than I could have hoped for. Lucky me :)
I'll stick this on CAF later with some close-ups and a lovely pic of the hand-coloured production art (kindly provided by Steve Cook). In the meantime...
(http://i.imgur.com/b2GNLnj.jpg)
My word! That does indeed look to be in pristine condition.
Prime Cam, that. And a smashing cover, to boot. Congrats on snagging this, David. Another classy piece for your collection!
Very nice :)
Isn't it amazing just how pristine and untouched his work is considering the age.
I mean I was still in primary school when that prog came out.
oh, the burden of owning this must be weighing heavily upon you, let me lighten your burden by offering to unhook your Warlord cover :lol:
Thats a super nice cover, gotta love the TTT Tubbs Man.......
Superb!
Thanks folks - it's a cracker. The condition is as good as it gets thanks to being in cold storage for close to 25 years. Might be a page or two more coming down the line but I really am trying to wind things down... Honest.

You'll forgive us if we take that pronouncement with less a pinch of salt, more a whole damn Dead Sea. ;)
Brilliant cover though: great story, great character and pure unique 2000AD goodness from head to toe.
From the amazing Zarjazz exhibition of 2005 comes this beauty by the very kind and talented Rufus Dayglo.
Rufus organised and ran the whole exhibition in London back in 2005 and this was his commissioned piece for the event, its massive at 42 x62 cm and really stood out amongst a plethora of 2000AD classic art and artists. On the back of this Matt Smith commissioned Rufus to draw a number of the 2000AD covers which other collectors have on display here on CAF.
I LOVE this piece, its LOUD PROUD and IN CHARGE and I'm thrilled to own it...................
(http://i.imgur.com/2wY3TfR.jpg)
That Cam piece is smashing, TTTT is the top of the heap in Mega City crazy.
The Krool piece is really nice too, Bad Company is really one of the best things to appear in 2000ad.
Lucky sods, all.
Great to see that Kano pic :)

Seconded.
Some brilliant pieces Dale- congrats!
Oh my giddy Aunt.
The thing with Richard Elson is I can never quite get used to the change in the art from Shadows (and that Dredd cover come to that) and his present stuff. For me its a complete shift. I do wonder what he did work wise in-between times to develop the change?
Just wanted to mention that all the images* in my CAF gallery (link in my signature) are now super-sized... Definitely worth checking out the results for the detail in the likes of O'Neill, Fabry, etc.
:)
* pretty much all, anyway. Still have to re-scan one of the Atlantis pages.

(...and consider your super-sized Cursed Earth page well and truly checked out.)
Its a great site, CAF, so i certainly dont mind helping them out, this way.
Mark will be next, ;)
So Dale, you've snagged the other 'Shadows' cover and the Starscan too! Absolutely gorgeous: the colours seem much more vibrant in your photos than in their published forms. Cheers for sticking these up, great to see 'em.
Dale, those Shadows pages are beautiful. I seem to remember Mr Elson saying how unhappy he was with them (Meg interview?), he must be bonkers!

Cam's asking prices for pages vary from insanely cheap to very, very reasonable. If he's rolling in it it's not because he's making people pay through the nose for art. Care to guess what he asked for the covers I got from him..? ;)

^ This.
Art collecting can be ridiculously expensive, but when dealing with the various droids, they definitely seem happy to make their art available to the many, instead of the few.
Cam is a very good example of that, as is the forum's very own Colin MacNeil.
Nice that boarders are putting money straight into their pockets. Hardly surprising though, when the art is of this quality.
And speaking of quality, thats a hell of a page youve got there,
Rich.
There are some really smashing pieces getting great scans. I love the Talbot and the Hickenton. I would love to have some Hicklenton so If anyone has any that is just making them unhappy to keep I would gladly pay them to take it to a new home! :P
Until I can get a better scan I thought I would share this

Mick McMahon: http://tuggingyourcoat.com/commission-info/
Thanks :)
S'okay! Prices are going to vary a lot between artists though and some are prepared to do more than others - some will only do single figures, no background for example while others don't do commission work at all...
I know he's an exceptional example but if people can afford to be paying those prices they can certainly afford original artwork!
That is extraordinary, skullmo, and absolutely confirms that years of working in colour haven't diminished Ezquerra's facility with line art - that's as fantastic as anything he was producing during his last days on Strontium Dog. I'm just amazed that Carlos has the time and the energy to do commissions as well as his published work so soon after his period of ill health. Thanks very much for posting

Well, here's hoping.
Never known of Carlos doing commission work before, and certainly i havent seen any pop up, before now.
I had asked around, a few years ago - to those in the know, and it seemed that it wasnt on the cards then.
I never got in direct contact with the great man himself, so what the real story was, i couldnt say.
But all the ones on CAF are listed as commissions, so...

That is extraordinary, skullmo, and absolutely confirms that years of working in colour haven't diminished Ezquerra's facility with line art - that's as fantastic as anything he was producing during his last days on Strontium Dog. I'm just amazed that Carlos has the time and the energy to do commissions as well as his published work so soon after his period of ill health. Thanks very much for posting
I did not get this as a commission. This was a piece he did for IDW, I just fell in love with it when I saw it, It took me back to the covers around the Prog 400 era. I will have to check if it got printed. I have sent him a message to ask whether he is taking commissions on at the moment, and will let you all know.

He was, of course, one of the many artist's featured for the variant cover's of Dredd #1, and i think ive seen it mentioned that he's doing a cover for the 'Year One' series, as well.
Maybe Carlos produced a few of these, and IDW are using them as and when?
Quote from: opaque on 03 March, 2013, 05:31:57 PM
I know he's an exceptional example but if people can afford to be paying those prices they can certainly afford original artwork!
True, but the pages you want by the artist you like may not (ever) be available so...
Plus there is something more special and personal about a commission.
I totally agree. And in some cases it could be the only way to get the work but you can get big pages of published original artwork from others for that much which personally I'd prefer.
But then I don't have a massive want for any of these rarer artists so what do I know? :P
There is a lot more artwork around recently isn't there :)
Quote from: Skullmo on 03 March, 2013, 04:20:24 PM
There are some really smashing pieces getting great scans. I love the Talbot and the Hickenton. I would love to have some Hicklenton so If anyone has any that is just making them unhappy to keep I would gladly pay them to take it to a new home! :P
Until I can get a better scan I thought I would share this

Great page ..... i almost cry to see what i have sold over the years , i'm so glad these pages went to good homes
:) These Devlin pages are the ones I wanted to get scanned the most as the prog and tpb don't do them justice.
Speaking of great art from Dale - this Simon Jacob was picked up from him. he still has more Simon Jacob. Buy it, it's lovely!

Nice one, Rich. Glad you snagged summat from Cam, especially as its a page that means a big deal to you.
And yes, looking forward to seeing this, as well. The VC's featured some pretty darn brilliant art from Cam.
Cheers Ming & Iain, was indeed very nice to tick 'Kenny Who' off the all-star-wishlist with one of my favourite pages he ever produced.
Echoed by one and all- Cams more of a diamond geezer than a 24 carat covered Ray Winstone.
Now to set my sights on the next target: a Bryan Talbot page featuring Nemesis & The ABC Warriors.
The hunt begins...

Not b/w ,fully painted ( well marker pens ect ) which makes it rare ...it does have a slight issue .... i will show it off when it comes ...
Very lovely cover Dale, and those early 2000ad specials were great wasnt they.
Looking forward to see the pics when it lands.
So is this the Grail youve been waiting on, or........
And nice to see that prelim, Skullmo - good stuff.
Did he include that with the finished piece?
(Got a couple of Apocalypse War cover prelims by Carlos, myself)
Carlos Ezquerra has let me know that if anyone would like a commission then he is happy to see if he can accommodate them between his deadline work.
As I am sure you well know Carlos has been responsible for creating some of the most memorable characters in 2000ad as well as illustrating some amazing US series (Preacher, Bloody Mary).
If anyone is interested in getting something unique done just PM me and I can pass on his email - I don't really want to just throw his address out into a public forum.

I believe so (unless they 'trailed' this cover in issue 11)

That's a seriously sweet Dredd cover youve got for yourself, Dale.
I want it!!
So, was the Dragonwotsit stuck directly onto the art? You'd have thought theyd stick it on the acetate.
Still, the glue residue doesnt diminish, at all, the loveliness of the piece.

Yep the DragonSlayer ad was directly on the artwork ..... think i may get a repro made , the cover is really sharp and doubt it has seen sunlight ...

This is absolutely 100% on the same level of 'brilliant', that the news that Mick McMahon was doing commissions was.
Now what kind of crazy fool wouldnt want a commission from King Carlos?

I think if you can afford it then go for it as he is bound to get more expensive as his schedule / workload increases! The commissions I have seen have been amazing. Up there with his covers! And it is lovely to see his stuff in black and white.
I was going to draw attention to this lovely chopper colouring, but then realised that they are all sold!
You can have a look anyway :-)

Pristine condition after all this time...It must have been hermetically sealed.

Don't do it Smith...he likes you really.
Ringer! RIIIIINNNNGGERRRRR!!!!
You're making some cracking acquisitions, Link - that one's a beauty! Wonder if Mr. Kennedy has much Rogue Trooper lurking around in his vaults...?
Cheers Greg! Not sure if there was any Rogue available in the listings Cam gave me- mainly Dredd, VC's and sundry 2000AD / Meg stuff.
Here's another little cracker that popped through my letterbox yesterday evening; the final Tyranny Rex page (again, thanks to Dale for giving me plum pickings of his Richard Elson haul).

I dont think Cam has any Rogue Trooper stuff left now.
The lists he sent me recently had no pages on offer.
And i think his website has stated this as well. Think thats been the case for a good while. Hardly surprising, really.
EDIT: I see that Mark has already answered the above question!
Link, that's a cracker of a VCs page - really chilling stuff and a very memorable scene.
And yeah, all Cam's Rogue pages are long gone, unfortunately. He still had a couple of pages listed as available when I first got in touch with him a few years back, but that was just a case of him not updating his lists. Bugger. :lol:
Luckily for me I'd already picked up a Rogue page from Rufus - my first bit of original art; the page that started me on this whole insane art-collecting thing, in fact.
(http://i.imgur.com/vhAxEt5.jpg)
Rufus still has some Cam Rogue pages for sale on Artdroids, I think - although prices have definitely gone up and I think he may just be selling one complete episode.
Cool page, David - Cam is such a master of the action sequence. Yeah, Rufus has a complete episode of 'All Hell On The Dix-I Front' for £1800 - a little steep (even for four pages) but admittedly not the steepest piece on his books given that particular story is one of the highpoints of 'Rogue Trooper'.

Carlos does draw a mean cleavage..

Yep. Interesting to note the similarities and the differences between Red's first and last appearances:
(http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvuehmXmuN1qf427ko1_500.jpg)
Wasn't Durham really quite young when first shown?
She obviously filled out a bit. I do prefer the original art though.
Isn't the more recent cover from an earlier stage in Red's career though? So she's younger in the more cleavage-y of the two. Her face certainly looks younger.

Aye, and her body language is more lairy too. I assumed Carlos was deliberately echoing the pose of the earlier image, where she looks more poised and womanly, to highlight the fact that this was a rougher, younger version of the character.
Yes - and she must have had a boob reduction, before later in her career, in the Mark Harrison era, she got the boobs increased again and had facial reconstructive surgery to look like a heroine (classic movie star) Angelina Jolie! :P

I put a max bid of £120 on that Biz Hellblazer page, but lost out in the last few minutes.
Ah well...
I put that pocket-burning cash to good use though...just secured a package deal with Dale for some very interesting pieces (including some very obscure Paul Marshall Tyranny Rex pages that will make Greg M want to put a hit out on my worthless carcass!) ;)
By the way...the asking price for that Liefeld is ludicrous, but I've no doubt it'll sell.

A trio of super sweet illustrations that Marshall did for a Tyranny Rex text story in one of the old 2000AD yearbooks. I fell in love with them
instantly.Will post as soon as that tube of gold arrives...
Also; got the painted version of that "Finally kicked the habit" TR splash page (that you have up on CAF in pencil & ink form). A decent price reduction from Dale on that one, as it's slightly damaged by bleed-through from the 2000AD stamp on the back.
Sounds fantastic. The only Tyranny Rex text story I can remember much about is 'Touched By the Hand of Brendan', and that was illustrated by Mark Buckingham, so I will be very keen (and not remotely envious, oh, no, no, no!) to see your haul. Paul Marshall was such a fantastic artist in his 'ultra-detailed' phase - he's still good, but his style is much more pared down.
For my part, I got the 'Black Hawk' page that was up on eBay at the same time as the Bisley stuff and the Prog 2 Dan Dare. Can't beat a bit of Belardinelli magic.
I think both of them went for fairly decent prices :)
Very nice Greg, I was ogling that Belardinelli page meself.
I totally agree with you about Marshall's artistic style change by the way...I much preferred his earlier work (Firekind being his apex) but still rate him very highly.
I remember being very disappointed by the looseness of his work on Leatherjack, a style he hasn't really shook off since.
Was Dredd mini epic 'Darkside' his last old style stuff?
QuoteWas Dredd mini epic 'Darkside' his last old style stuff?
I haven't read 'Darkside' in ages (it must be due in a couple of Case Files' time?) but I seem to recall that even as early as that he'd switched to his contemporary style. I kinda think Tyranny Rex itself was the last of 'classic' Marshall.
You may be right there. Must re-read Darkside at some stage too.
The only downside of course is that there's a very limited supply of 'classic' Marshall out there, being hoovered up by the distinguished connoisseur as I type....

Hoping to seal his fate with a one-two-punch, a handsome splash page from Dredd epic 'Darkside' was next produced.
Featuring 'The Mutant' from the apocalyptic year 2120 (coincidentally the same year futurists predict that the hated Greg M will have gotten over being usurped by a cooler collection of Paul Marshall artwork).

Hi all, this is one of the few prized pieces from my collection, which I'm also reluctantly offering up for sale, an original Ezquerra Strontium Dog page, identified as being from 'The Stone Killers' pt 12 prog 571, dated 23rd Apr 1988. Thought I'd gauge interest before sticking it up on ebay...
(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-W9BbpWb5aYA/UV6EGo5ONqI/AAAAAAAAAds/892DjAllGzg/s1600/IMG_3587.JPG)
Nice page there Redbaz.
A lot of Alpha and a pretty snazzy Ezquerra cityscape.
I'd definitely keep an eye out on Ebay, but have recently diverted all available funds to the frontline of 'The War of the Marshalls' so doubt I could afford it!
Same here; I'd love a Stront page but all art funds are spoken for for the next two or three months...
:| I have been ruined by original art!
That is a lovely page!
That's a lovely strontie page.... Mrs would kill me though
thanks everyone- its up on ebay now, will be sad to see it go.

"Just a sweet Transistor"....this is a painted Kev Walker panel (clipped from a partially painted page I believe), postcard size.
Really nice though!
War of the Marshalls update.
This is one of the images used from a Tyranny Rex text story (from a special, not a Yearbook).
I really think Paul Marshall has a great flair for design work.
I'm looking to buy the original art for the logo he designed for the original run of 'Thargs Terror Tales' by the way, if anyone out there has it.

Okay so I know I'm going to have to get to my own answer in this, but I thought I'd ask the question and see how others think. Bare with me if you will.
Wake's post yesterday about Skreemer art being available sent to up to the attic to dig out my well read (and in one case signed) copies of the comic. I absolutely love it. I had genuinely been doing a search for some that very morning along with other things, while planning my next eBay fund raising sales to try to work out a target amount.
So anyway having an open field I decided to get my request for a piece in straight away, to give myself the best chance of getting the best piece and there hangs my dilemma. Unlike the Red Seas piece I reserved there's no such thing as the definitive Skreemer page for me there's so much going on in the story. Normally I don't go for a big splashy piece I go for a bit of story, or moments in that story that matter to me, or even a piece that has some representation of the elements of the story I like.
In this case I just can't find that piece (on a side note, funny how the mind plays tricks on you. Before getting the books out I had a few pages in mind quite clearly. It turned out they were composites of different pages, put together in my head to make the perfect page!). So I then turned to thinking should just go for a nice big splash or semi splash of Veto (for those that know the comics) as he dominates the thing so much... then I got stuck as it was well past my bedtime and I needed to sleep on it... so all that needless waffle leaves me with the question.

I would say that no collector could answer you straight on this one Colin!
There are so many factors to consider it can wreck your head a bit, but for me it comes down to the following:
- Nostalgia (hey, you're talkin to someone who bought a G1 Soundwave Transformer on EBay last night)
- The artist (each to their own on this)
- The 'X-Factor' (sometimes a page just has that certain something, and if you consider it cool then go for it!)

This pretty much sums it up for me too! I've been thinking on how to answer this question for about 30 minutes but, ultimately, it boils down to 'it depends'! Sometimes it's a story page, sometimes a splash or cover, sometimes a memorable panel. I have pages for all of these reasons and more...

Tough question, Colin – the main deciding issues for me are often 'what's available and what I can afford', but I sense you're really asking about more intangible factors.
Thinking about it, I often like pages or stories showcasing characters with a wild and distinctive design – often this translates to baddies, monsters or weird aliens, but one of 2000AD's virtues has always been the fact that even the goodies look like baddies! Part of my love for Bad Company, for instance, is that even the most minor of characters have a real visual hook to 'em. So, when buying Medivac 318 pages from Dale, I picked out those that gave you a good view of the alien Jenarit: likewise, with John Cooper's 'Storm Force' stuff from Battle, I wanted anything with Crab-Spider in it.
Sometimes it is simply the artist – I've two complete Dredd tales by Paul Marshall (excuse me as I launch a quick 'War of the Marshalls' salvo at Link Prime!) neither of which has massive significance to me as a story, but which both showcase Marshall's classic era art well. Sometimes it's also the era – I am fondest of the run of progs from the late 400s through to around 700, so a lot of what I own comes from that period.
Aside from that, it's sometimes the moments – some of these are moments that struck a chord with me (a lot of my Bad Company stuff), sometimes they struck a chord with me and they're very significant in the history of the series (Judge Dredd resigns in 'Tale of the Dead Man'.) I am lucky enough to own the original art for my favourite page in all of comics – Protoid chopping De Racine's head off in 'Bad Company II' – and for me, everything in that page comes together to create a perfect storm of thrillpower. Cracking dialogue, culmination of an important story thread, and two brilliantly-designed weird characters locked in mortal combat. It gets no better.

Arh now you see this is why I posed the question, one which I knew would be almost unanswerable, but one that once answered might spark a thoughtl or feeling in me that helped me get closer to the decision I was struggling with and good old Mr M. has hit on it for me.
See normally I go for moments, or elements of a story. So the Red Seas one I've picked has two Ray Harryhausen monsters fighting, a giant metal warrior and a giant squid, Jack, an important need (and colleague) leaping from a gash in said metal warrior, so we have high action. Its also set at sea, which while so much of Red Seas isn't, any page I was going to own had to be, to underscore its pirate setting. There in one page is Red Seas perfectly encapsulated.
I was never going to get that in a single Skreemer page. There are about 4 moments I've pulled out. All juggling for my affections. Typically my favourite not necessarily a greatly appealing page aside from 3 panels. Then I read Greg's comment and it clicks.
Its a Brett Ewins' page. What does Brett Ewins do better than most. Why create brilliant, monstrous men. Veto is one such man. Most of the pages where Veto is drawn large and monstrous he's wearing this big fur coat and wide brimmed hat, which I think distracts from what makes him such a wonderful design (though its does work in the context of the story as it emphasizes the success he has found). And of course he must be stood at on the edge of that ledge, waiting and tempting and contemplating breaking free of his fate.
So what do I go for. Well this time the design and the monster, in his perfect environment to sum up the main theme of the story. If not a moment that drives the theme(s) forward.
I think I have my answer... which had probably gone now, so I'll be back to fighting over the different moments...
Thanks all for the thoughts.
Do I remember correctly that Wake was selling the Skreemer pages 100 quid each Colin? You gotta bite the bullet and get two!
Anyway, I've never owned either a piece of Slaine art, nor anything by Clint Langley despite having a deep manly love for both of them.
And agreeing with Greg's comment regarding availability & price also being a factor, I couldn't pass up this 'Lord of Misrule' page for 60 smackarooines...

Had to come back and answer this question ...... Time Travel
Its all about Time Travel for me .... when i buy a certain page , it transports me back to the first time i saw it , which was usually a saturday morn in a day gone by .... yes some artist are better and more expensive than others , that does not mean a cheap piece of artwork can not work the same magic ....
I am currently in 1984 .... so the broadband is very slow ...so have fun guys ...

Greg M has this pretty well covered but I'll still add my thoughts...
For me, it starts with the artist. Some artists I'd love
anything by (as in I'd settle for a single decent example of their work - O'Neill and Bolland, pretty much), a few artists I'd take pretty much all I can handle (McCarthy & Cam Kennedy being my main weaknesses) and others I look for a good representative pairing of the artist with the character(s) I associate most with them (Ewins Bad Co., Ezquerra Strontium Dog, etc.). For the latter group, given a choice (money, availability, patience) I'll wait until I come across a page that jumps out at me for whatever reason; I've picked up some great splash pages as well as pages that crackle with wonderful dialogue. In the end, there are always far too many memorable images, scenes or stories and far too few opportunities to buy the original artwork associated with these, but when you find a page that really resonates with you, you know it.
Looking at my art collection it's really hard to pick a few favourites as the diversity of the artwork (the styles, characters, stories, pages - and panels and the details with those) are what makes this such a fascinating and infuriatingly moreish habit.
One other thing I'll say is that with contemporary art, I really miss the lack of dialogue - as much a part of the artwork as the brushstrokes on the page. Some things stand up perfectly well on their own without dialogue (the McCarthy Walking Dredd page I have is fantastic in this respect) but others just feel a bit flat without the chat.

I very much agree with ming about the importance of dialogue in terms of owning original art - it's that glorious synthesis of text and image that makes the medium what it is. And speaking of glorious images, here's the Black Hawk page I got recently on ebay, and have just got round to scanning in:

I'll add my vote to that as well. My art collection is all about pages that mean something special to me, and i wouldnt buy a page for any other reason. Makes no real difference as to whether its a stunning page, or a 'boring' one, to me. If its special to me, for whatever reason, then im glad to give it a good home.
And regarding what Colin said, when he said he had a perfect page in mind, but upon tracking that issue down the page was actually misremembered, and was in fact a composite of several! Yep, thats happened to me!
Sweet mother of JESUS, that Black Hawk page looks waaaayyy better than it did on EBay.
I'm gonna have to ask you lot some advice on obtaining a (cost effective) scanner at some stage.
Great piece Greg.
I've just this week bought a hand-held 'wand' scanner that cost just under £40 - 900dpi. It hasn't arrived yet so haven't had a chance to play but will certainly let you know how it goes...
That Black Hawk page is indeed superb. Pure Belardinelli, that.
Think for me it's a mix of artist and character so I got a nice double page leigh gallagher, talbot and Robinson
Thanks to jd31 for the Robinson and dale for the Talbots and if I ever have money again I've got my eyes on a few more pieces
Love that Leigh Gallagher page, I think he is very underrated......the detail in his work is very old skool....I have a swamp thing commission he did years back, so I know the quality. Great pick up, slight envy.....

Good stuff! (but deleting a image by mistake is the nightmare scenario, isnt it).
Ill have a looksee at what other scan's you but up - of course, but that looks pretty darn spot-on, and maybe a wand is a worthwhile investment, and the way forward
(Necessity is the mother of invention, as they say - and ive made do with scanning from a A4 scanner with pretty good results, but if the art is on fairly rigid board then it can become problematic to get a good image - a wand would bypass all that)

Seriously though, very much looking forward to seeing your pages.
Regarding CAF, its one at a time - unless you subscribe to the premier upgrade ($50 a year) then you can upload multiple images.
I upgraded earlier but can't see that about multiple images so will have to hunt it out.
Well some of them are the page with and without the lettering. I've got some I've not been able to re-identify so they will have to be added later on.
I think it gives you the option to do multiple posts when your in the process of loading, or completing the first one. Usually ive only had the need to post one image at a time, but i think thats how it works.
Thanks, I'll have to see as although I obviously need to add all the extra info I'd be nice to do it after uploading everything.

Sweet mother of JESUS, that Black Hawk page looks waaaayyy better than it did on EBay.
I'm gonna have to ask you lot some advice on obtaining a (cost effective) scanner at some stage.
Great piece Greg.
I can now report that the hand-held wand scanner is pretty awesome (my IT skills however are shite - I managed to delete the entry completely off CAF, simply by trying to replace the photo with the new scan)
Have a looksee here: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1002498
That's two images stitched together using microsoft ice!
Good stuff Mark.
Could you PM me the details on that 'wand' scanner...must keep an eye out for one.
PM sent...
This 1979 vintage Dredd page arrived today, all courtesy of Mr Wake. (And now up on CAF).

That looks great, Iain! I always had a soft spot for this story...
When this was published I was one and a half, and would have likely wished to colour it in.
I can appreciate it now though- nice one Iain!

Not sure if people have seen this already (probably) but there is a lot of colin Wilson 2000ad art for sale here at not unreasonable prices :)
Cheers for the heads up Skullmo.
Yeah, Royd has (or had) lots of great Colin Wilson 2000AD art - Rogue, Dredd, etc. Mostly gone now, but still a few left I think, and the prices are very, very reasonable. Royd's great to deal with as well - a thoroughly nice fella.

There's no mistaking that inking technique, Jack. I'm actually excited on your behalf, but also slightly worried that all our favourites are spending all their time cranking out commissions for you lot instead of drawing comics.

There should definitely be a commissions thread around here... Great stuff, Mark!
At least if he's ritualistically slaughtering you, I'm safe for a while. ;)
Gorgeous commission though - hope it retains its gorgeousness splattered with the inevitable gore that will result from a full-blooded Link/hippy confrontation.

Simply stunning commission. I've had a few artists and pieces all come to the fore at the same time (they're like buses!) but I'm DESPERATE to ask Carlos for a commission. They're brilliant!

No, Carlos definitely told me that he won't be doing any more as he feels he's reached his peak with mine. He will retire immediately, a happy man, whose artistic life's work has been completed! Fact!
And speaking of King Carlos..
A bit of a forum affair, this one. Skullmo acted as the go-between, me and Mark constantly swapped e-mail to see how the state of play was unfolding, and a certain forum member worked away producing the goods.
Not bad is he? Tharg should get him in the prog, ;)

Hurray! Glorious... Time for a quiet lie down, I'd imagine. Great stuff, Mark. :)
EDIT: (although it's still for sale via the Illo Cupboard, so you may want to check it's not just a really good photocopy ;))
KA-BOOM!!!!
Well, thats certainly summat very special indeed, isnt it. :thumbsup:
Congratulations Mark!
Fantastic piece! You were after that one for a while, right? Must be good to get your hands on it. O'Neill is the undisputed master.
There's something fantastically pubic about that fantastic bit of classic O'Neill - congratulations, neebs. At this rate, forum members will soon own enough golden age 2000ad original art to make a reprint collection which doesn't rely on poor reproductions taken from newsprint a realistic possibility. Here's Steve Cook's blog entry on the fantastically coloured production art version of that image:

Well done...
You must be a very happy man..

Yes! I paid a deposit waaaaaaaaay back in January (well, it seems an age anyway) and finally paid it off last week. Had to let some things go that I would have liked to own but to finally see this in the flesh is amazing. My hands were trembling a little unwrapping it...
Well that's it then hippynumber1 has won. Its all over.
Well done.
Astounding piece Mark.
I've also recently purchased a new piece of Nemesis original art, though probably cost nowhere near as much as your O'Neill.
I will say this though...it's one of the most expensive pages I've ever bought, and it's something that you lot probably haven't seen before.
To be continued...
That is a stunning page! Well done on acquiring it!
I would love some O'neil and this is one of his best pages!!! Love it. :P

Greg M that Bad Company artwork hits the spot.
In my failed attempt to enter the last art comp, while burrowing through some old comics for reference I came across an issue of Speakeasy fanzine which has a full page interview with Milligan, Ewins and J McCarthy. It was regarding the start of the second series of Bad Company in 2000AD and the launch of the first Bad Company Titan album.
Interestingly, seven or eight episodes had been written before Milligan knew that Ewins and McCarthy were the art team. They set out to make it look "unlike any of the strips in 2000AD". They said they were under some pressure from 2000AD to produce a slick "Bolland look" but they stuck to their guns.
One of my favourite strips in 2000AD.
(The other news on the front page of that Speakeasy was about 2000AD being bought by Maxwell.)
Wonderful piece :)
Is there a good list of places where 2000 AD original art (classic and modern) is readily available? I've found a few caches on the internet here and there, but I wasn't sure if there are larger art dealers or lists of private sellers where interested parties would go to view available art. The answer might lie in this thread somewhere... apologies if I missed it.
Thanks!
My latest acquisitions (Thanks Wake!) may prove to awkward to scan properly, so a sneaky peek will have to suffice for the time being.

Classifieds on here and ebay are good places to start; the comic art fans website has loads of dealers and artwork for sale, I have some John Cooper Armitage pages for sale and fatboydale and wake over on Barney are all good bets. It always helps, of course, if you know what you want!

Thanks fellas, I know what I'd love, but am looking to get any idea of the market before I'll know what I can afford. I'm working on getting som Patrick Goddard Savage art, but am really interested in some older pages. Perhaps some Ezquerra Dredd?

E-bay may well be your best place for the Savage art. Is it Fatboydale (a forum member on here) who sells these? Priced quite reasonably, if i recall.
Ezquerra Dredd pages dont pop up that often, and again the cheapest examples recently have been on E-bay.
And finally managed to get a semi-decent scan's of my new pages (may have to invest in a scanner wand like Mark has. Be so much easier!)

:O Gorgeous page! well done :)
Thanks,
o1s1n - and youve snagged a beauty of a page for yourself, by the looks of things.
It had gone a little quiet on here, regarding Cam's pages - though i think some forum memebers are waiting on some goodies from him, so its nice to see more of 1.) The money going straight to his pocket, for his art, and 2.) People getting hold of quality pages that otherwise would have been hoovered up years ago.
As for the sneaky peak, id say Prog 455 is yer man, and its a page that shows a nice bit of Bootknife action, :thumbsup:
There's something special alright about getting such quality pages (and older ones at that) directly from an artist. I'd assume at this point they'd all have been hoovered up as you said or else they were pages the artist wanted to pull a Bill Watterson on and hold onto for life.
Cam is a gent. First time I've contacted an artist directly for comic art and it could not have gone better. :)
Spot on with the prog number by the way, a ninja star and some hardcore a boot knife action on the one page. Loved it when I was a kid - love it even more now! :)
Dont know if you caught it
o1s1n, but the tale was that Cam took a load of art with him on a trip to the States, but then had to leave behind.
During his stay, he'd picked up a load of other stuff, that put him over his weight allowance, travelling back. So something had to give.
That was over twenty years ago, and only very recently was it sent back to Cam. Pages from that 'missing' stash are whats been popping up on here. They would have easily been sold
long ago, if not for that.

Cheers,
Kevin. Those early short Future Shocks (this story is from 1981) are firm faves of mine. And that story is deffo amongst my top five. Id somehow missed this art when Wake first announced his sale, and only saw it going on his site again more than a good few days after the fact.
This period of Bretts art is amongst his best, i think. Certainly looking at the art first hand, and seeing just how much work he put into each panel, has caused my appreciation of his work to increase dramactically.
seems everyone is finding gems .....

The full story was related to me by Cam a few years back (shortly after the main batch of art was returned; 2010, I think):

Quote from: Judge Jack on 09 February, 2013, 11:32:04 AM
Ming, or malak brood may know this story better than me, but somehow a good chunk of Cam's art ended up in the States, and then promptly went MIA.
But luckily for Cam (and us!) it all turned up again. He has a list available for what he selling, so why not drop him a line.
I 'ad that Cam Kennedy in the back of me cab once...
The story I got from Cam: "On one of my trips over to USA (1989) we were staying in Upper New York state for 6 weeks, as we had house swopped with Charlie Vess. I had taken a pile of Dredd pages with me to show and maybe sell. During this trip I met up with and befriended Walt Simenson ( Thor's artist). He insisted on giving me about 50 or 60 of his Thor comics, which he duly signed. For the trip home I had to decide whether to leave the Thors or the Dredds. Towards the end of the holiday we were staying with Rick Veitch, Tom's brother and he said that he would look after the Dredd pages. I must admit I had forgotten about them until about 4 months ago when I was talking to Rick after a long absence. Long and short I sent the postage money and he duly sent them back - it was like having children you haven't seen for years returning home!"
That was a couple of years back. I was lucky enough to get pick of the litter, hence my Warlord cover plus my favourite pages from The Big Sleep and Magnificent Obsession. Along with examples of Cam's Rogue and VCs work, I'm a very, very lucky fella.
o1s1n - that's a truly fantastic page! Definitely one of the best from the whole story, and one I mulled over for a good long while (and would have gone for if it hadn't been for those pesky covers). Great stuff!
:)
Oh wow, thanks for the info guys! There's nothing I love more than having an interesting back story to pieces :)
Mad to think Cam would chose to bring back some signed Thor comics over his Dredd artwork. :o
Yeah Ming, that was always one of my favourite pages from that story. I originally read it in Classic 2000AD in the mid 90s. (Would have been 2 when prog 455 came out! :D). Always loved that closeup of Dredd's hand and the ninja star. Great image - delighted you didn't buy it! heh
I go away for a couple of days and some real beauties pop up!

I'm very happy I got the last warlock page :)
Just waiting on a reply from CAF about uploading multiple photos and I might get mine up there at some point! Still missing a few prog/page details though.
A trio of classics Dale....love the Ro-Busters page.
I'll be throwing embarrassingly low bids your way some day soon!
That Ro-Busters page is really amazing. Nice pick-up.
Robusters page is wonderful Dale! I'm so jealous! :)
Amazing classic artwork.
Looking at that Robusters page, it brings to mind what I have thought for years – that era of letterers must have had nerves of steel to draw all those caption box and speech bubble outlines directly onto artwork.

Amazing classic artwork.
Looking at that Robusters page, it brings to mind what I have thought for years – that era of letterers must have had nerves of steel to draw all those caption box and speech bubble outlines directly onto artwork.
I always think the very same thing.
The letters are on separate pieces of paper that have been pasted onto the artwork, which is why they go translucent with age. My prog 1 Harlem Heroes page does have lettering directly onto the art, but in that case Dave Gibbons did his own lettering (and presumably there are different rules for launch issue artwork anyway, since he did use separate pieces on the other page I have from prog 16).
It's the fact that the lettering is doing something irreversible to the original art. The letterer can't easily fix ink that has smudged or run due to a mistake - hence the comment about nerves of steel. Even for Dave Gibbons who could fix his smudges (although I doubt he made any) it would be a pain. It's just so surprising to see, no money for / or method established for / acetate or perhaps no easy way to photograph pages with letters pasted over acetate in those days.
Absolutely wonderful pages. Well done Dale - I don't know how you do it! :o
Regarding lettering - remember, if a mistake was made, it's going to black and white print. Nothing a bit of tipex won't sort. (If there's anything I've learned from my Hicklenton pages is that tipex is okay!)
Not that there are any lettering inconsistencies in those pasted bubbles on the Ro-busters art. Lovely work so it is.
Have to say, I love the way the pastes go translucent, get to see the artwork again! :D

Yeah, I love seeing through 'em and getting to witness those little fragments of art that never graced the prog.

I will say this though...it's one of the most expensive pages I've ever bought, and it's something that you lot probably haven't seen before.
To be continued...
Interesting. Very interesting.
That's a familiar looking ship...
Got this Simon Coleby page at the London Comic Mart last month. I'm more of a convention sketch guy and this is my first original art page. I fear I'm on a slippery slope now.

Love me a nice city-scape and that one is a beaut!
"I am the Nemesis, I am the Warlock, the Shape Of Things To Come, the Lord of the Flies, Holder Of The Sword Sinister... The Death-Bringer... I am the one who waits on the edge of your dreams..."
Ffs! >:(
"I am all these things and many more..."
This my dear Ladies & Gentlemen is my current crown jewel....Clint Langleys 'Try out' piece for the Nemesis gig way back in the early 90's. I'm a huge Nemesis fan, and I absolutely adore it.
To my knowledge it hasn't seen the light of day before (unless Dale has posted it previously).
A very big thank you to Dale who I know was very reluctant to let it go. Fortunately for him, a weak Euro means he's probably having a bath in £100 pound notes as I type.
Phew... :D
Lovely piece though Link!
Great piece, Link, and indeed rather Hicklenton-y in its organic nature (though Langley seems to prefer a more snub-beaked take on the Warlock.) Here's another Bad Company piece from me, which features one of my absolute favourite moments from the original series - "What about Thrax? What's his problem?" If I'd been given the free option of owning any page from BC1, this would have made my top 5 easily.
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/Thrax_zps0562b57d.jpg)
Well, Mr Prime,
What can I say other than.....Wow !!! :o
An absolutely 'cracking' piece...Well done...
And Greg M.....another fabulous piece to add to your Bad Company collection !
Great stuff !!
This is the thread that just keeps on giving! :o
Cheers me ol muckers.
Greg- a superb Bad Company page, and one that seriously struck a chord with me as a kid...that 'casual murder' scene- brilliant.
Chiefy2shoes- that's a brilliant Coleby page. I absolutely love his stuff on the new IDW Year One series. If you have the contact details for the art dealer you purchased that page from I'd appreciate a PM.
And a general / unusual request for you all; I'm looking to purchase a Jim McCarthy 'Bix Barton' page (hey- I liked it!) but literally cannot find any of his stuff anywhere online. Any pointers would be very welcome.
A 'Bix Barton' page would be lovely!

Very nice that
Link, so this has never popped up anywhere else before?
Its always nice to got hold of the original art, but nicer still, to get something a bit unusual.
Good stuff!
I've made a start with uploading my artwork onto CAF.
Taking a lot lot longer than I thought it would be (and it's tiring so much mouse work) so take a look at what's already up and I'll be adding more to it soon :)
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=93033
Already had a look Sir, you have some lovely stuff there and I assure you that it won't be long before I'm badgering you to sell some of them to me! :lol:
Never! :P
We'll see! :lol:
Dibs on the Hicklenton page if it ever comes up for sale!!! :lol: (I really need it!!!)
And that's only the start of you putting up your collection? Crikey! :) Particularly love the Hicklenton Nemesis page.

I have pages 4&5 of the final part of The Two Torquemadas - best to keep page 3 with them for completion's sake! :lol:
I missed out on the very first page from it a few years back. The guy selling it on Ebay got a really high offer via PM. Turns out the buyer was going to give it to Johnny's wife as a gift.
Felt better when I heard that...still though, would have loved it! Incredible page.

I remember really enjoying that story. What a great page. The way those borders open and close...it's 'bordering' on optical illusion. Well done.
Beautiful! I never tire of seeing original Cam art, and that's a very lovely page.
Lovely stuff :)
Do my eyes deceive me ?? :o Dredd has no elbow pad in panel 2 yet has it elsewhere. You might want to write the man and get that missing bit of kit ;)
What prog was that?...I have a feeling it may have been added later....'in post' so to speak.

Prog 455, and no - it was still missing (or strangely reappeared in the knife-wielding panel) when printed...

You beat me, I just checked the prog...you right. I wonder if it was fixed in re-prints, but I doubt it.
Wow, great spot! I spent ages looking at that page yesterday and completely missed it myself :lol:
I wonder was it a bit of artistic license on the panel and it just looked better without? Will check later to see if there are any signs of an elbow bad being erased.
Quote from: o1s1n on 13 May, 2013, 01:53:39 PM
I wonder was it a bit of artistic license
I wondered about that too. If the pad were in place on that arm it would reduce the dynamic some, but then he would just increase the perspective on the arm, make the hand bigger to maintain the dynamic...so I think Cam Kennedy probably forgot to ink it in. No criticism, Dredd is a complex character to draw and I'm surprised more artists don't forget bits and pieces.
It also says something about the quality of the artist's storytelling that nobody noticed :lol:
Frankly, I think that makes it EVEN more valuable.

A knockout page that,
o1s1n. Well done, and thats a lovely bit o' boot knife action.
Whenever I think 'Cam Kennedy on Dredd', the first story that automatically comes into my head is 'The Warlord'. Quintessential Cam. Gorgeous stuff.
There has been quite a bit of Nemesis recently so I thought I would add this. I keep threatening to get a better scan, but until I do this will have to suffice :)

SKULLMO- I WANT THAT PAGE!!!!
Great stuff Jacob....and our friends on this thread don't even know the half of it yet! ;)
Is there going to be a rush on Mick Austin now that a source of his art has leaked?
His Anderson cover to Prog 760 is unfortunately gone already...one of my favourite covers of all time.
Would love a page of 'Crusade' at some stage...will have to take on a weekend 2nd job in Specsavers to fund it though!

Ah Skullmo, that's the HOSH9 spread I was prepared to give up some of my Halo Jones pages for but moved too slowly.
Nice haul.
I copied the Dredd panel on the right so many times as a young teen - 20+ at least.
Love Original Art when there's some serious memories attached.

Not a Mick Austin fan Mark?
And Skullmo....what can I say- one of the best hauls I've ever seen!
While most mere mortals are deciding if they can afford the Termight or Deviant edition of the new Nemesis book here you are blowing thousands on art and showing us how its done!
Great stuff!
(I'm seething with jealousy).
I am, you've got it the wrong way round! We pooled together to buy a number of pages in order to get a discount. The money has been sent and I'm now just waiting for the revelation that we've all been scammed into marrying Eboneke from Nairobi... (It's never as funny when you have to explain)... :-\

Wow, amazing stuff! Congrats!!!
That Hicklenton Nemesis page - that has been on CAF for a while. Is that your gallery Skullmo? Or did you pick it up from that fellah?
I only ask as I see there are 6 other Hicklenton pages listed on that gallery and I've been drooling over them for as long as I can remember :lol:

I like Nemesis but have never been that big a fan that I would want any pieces for myself....BUT...after seeing yours' and Marks' pieces by a certain Mr Langley...I've changed my mind !!....
Absolutely fabulous......I'm lucky enough to have one piece by Clint Langley ( Slaine : Lord of Misrule...Front Cover from Prog 958, September 1995 ), but can't afford any more...Yet !!

I bought it from the CAF owner, I asked him about another page entirely and when I went to see it saw the Hicklenton pages and fell in love! I could only get them by throwing cash at him. I have another page as well that will make you well jeal (as they say). I will try to get a photo today. Unfortunately the others were definitely not for sale otherwise I would have had them.
He told me an interesting story about these pages, and that was that they had originally been given to Simon Bisley as a gift from Hicklenton. And then Bisley had sold them. One of them had 'to Simon' on it so it seems believable.
This thread is seriously hitting overdrive. I love it!

:o Surely Halo's are keepers, and never to be sold, or passed on - at any cost? Still, i know what you mean about art having memories attached. Hard to resist, those ones.
My Halo's are certainly going nowhere :lol:
You do just have to go for it when you see something I suppose and obviously some people have the ability to sell children etc to pay for it all ;)

Couldnt see it either, when i had a look earlier, but blimey...
That massive cock is hilarious! :lol:
Holy shit Skullmo, you're my Hero!!! :o
Thanks for the super close picture! I see it's even signed. That's incredible. As is the giant jizzing man organ!! haha, I've never noticed that before either.
Just compared page 60 to the original. That's some crazy censorship going on there. The original art, it looks like Torquemada's skin has all peeled back where they're removed the suit...
But in the published art he's still wearing the suit.
I wonder was that censored on a photocopy or with an overlay?
Really interesting to see anyway.
Argh! No! Between that and Thargs goatsee, I can't take this anymore!

Be careful asking for packages on the forum, you might get a Tony Lee special!

Oooooooh Skullmo, that IS exciting! There was a Dredd poster by our mysterious benefactor that I'd LOVE to see again. It was Dredd against a red background. Anyone got a scan of it?
Gosh, I didn't realise the original art of "Leviathan's Farewell" was in colour. I've only seen the B&W reprints. Lovely page, Skullmo.

Love the Leviathan's Farewell pages, Skullmo -- a great purchase :)
Shame the story seemed to slip under the radar at the time. I was mainlining 2000ad when it was published and managed to miss the special it was printed in.
Lovely artwork and so much of it!
Man I've been avoiding posting here until I've got something positive to add. I mean who needs to read more posts of me bleating on about now jealous I am of this, that or the other. But that cover. Man of man, I love most of Austin's covers from that period, but that one I've always thought was among the finest.
Holy cow that Leviathan's Farewell art is superb!

Yes, it is one of my favourites! It is also huge!
Wow !!, Skullmo,
That is a wonderful piece of cover Artwork.
Congratulations !! :D
If you are a Finn fan you will also like this. It looks amazing, but is painted in oils on oil painting board and so is quite hard to photograph. The size is about A2.

Jacob, no joking, thats one of the finest hauls in history.
AMAZING stuff.
Leviathans Farewell is gold standard 2000AD material ('twas the '89 summer special Iain- the cover of which made me blush when my Gran worryingly asked me what it was about!)
I'd totally forgotten Mick Austin did that Finn cover too. A beaut to behold in the flesh I would imagine.
Lovely cover..... only one i would have bought .....

Wowza, I love that Finn cover! Amazing to hear it was done in oils. I'd assumed everything was painted in acrylics due to deadlines.
Actually Mick used Inks for the black and white stuff and coloured inks for the coloured art.
For painted art he primarily used gouache, however he did experiment in oils early on.
As you can see from this the gouache painting is far more bright and colourful! :D

Well it originally started when I asked Mark where he got his excellent Mick Austin cover, as Mick is one of my favourite ever 2000ad artists.
Once we has established that there was a mutual appreciation and no Mick art out there I got out my detective hat and sought out the man himself! He kept a good deal of his art which was in storage so I was lucky enough to get some of my favourite pages! ::)

Oh that was what was left after we had made our orders :-)
That is unreal! Finn was always one of my favourite characters when I was a kid, something about the design. Always had me drawing him.
Painting aside, the composite of that page is beautiful, feels like he's going to leap out of the page :)

I hope someone here owns it, would be something else to get a bit of a closeup gawk at the original art. Had that cover hanging on a wall for years.
It saddens me that there's so little Mick Austin artwork on CAF...thankfully that's soon to change due to your recent sleuthing ;)
Actually the one piece (that Dredd cover to Classic Judge Dredd) which Mark owns was the first Judge Dredd comic I ever bought. Almost pissed myself when I saw it on ebay :lol:

That is such a mad cover, I love it!
On a side note, has Carlos ever explained his 'draw little lumps/broken edged lines/square things around the edges of his artwork' technique/styalization? I've always really really liked it and wondered how it came about.
I have a vague recollection of him saying it was to make the 'central' figure stand out. I suppose it's a pre-3D effect of sorts. (We used to call it the 'cut out and keep' line)!

Interrogation with Carlos, Megazine 301:
"
That was just because I wanted things to stand out from the background... Because instead of making a thick line as it was done by any other artist, when I had a fish-tooth line he look more mobile, you know? And at the same time it separated the foreground from the background.
It just came to me... I never thought out anything. The thing is they just come and it worked, so I carry on doing it."
There's a bit more, but that pretty much covers it.
I call it a nobbly line :P
A fish net lining. Ooh err!
I'm really winding down my collecting these days (I am, I am!) but one of those package things landed this morning...
Will finish scanning and compiling the pics soon but in the meantime here's the customary teaser:

Cheers lads! I've been wondering about that one for years. Another mystery of the universe sold :)
Interesting that McMahon did it too, can't say I ever noticed!
Hi guys,
I used to be big fan of 2000AD back in the day, unfortunately I don't have as much time for comics these days.
Looking at this particular thread (and the other original art-related threads) is a great trip down memory lane and it's fantastic to see all this great original artwork by the artistic heroes of my formative years.
So just posting here to show my appreciation for what you guys are doing and I'll put up some of the dozen or so original 2000AD pieces I own.
(Now I'll just have to learn how to use this site, avatar pic, how to post artwork etc!)
Wecome to the board, Sir! Looking forward to seeing what you've got (and be prepared to be inundated with cash offers)! :lol:
Quote from: Judge Jack on 23 May, 2013, 04:37:04 PM

I never noticed that before. Thanks for pointing it out.
Surely Mick only used the broken line / fish-tooth effect because he was asked to mimic Carlos' style closely in the early days? He soon got out from under that and the rest is (art) history!
If you want to mimic Ezquerra go for big chins and a nobbly line!
Oh and exceptionally good drawing

Well, this all now raises the question - and without having any back progs to hand; Who used that effect first?
Those two images by Mick i posted date from 1977 and 1981 respectively. During that time Carlos drew very little Dredd indeed. Of course the Apocalypse War was his big comeback. Did Carlos use that broken line effect on say, Strontium Dog?
A quick look through any back issues would solve this - and i suspect it will have been Carlos, but like i said ive not got them to hand.
Two amazing VCs pages there Ming, gorgeous stuff by Cam (in particular the panel where they're posed on the title).
Lovely Stuff ...... whats going on , has 2000ad artwork exploded , its coming out from everywhere ....and Vintage as well ..... right fuck it ,i'm off to start the time machine ( or really look under my bed ) .... ;)

Hi Link,
Cheers for the compliment, there's something quite magical about the Spear of Lug pictures in the The Horned God saga.
As for my Revere pages, I did indeed purchase them (and a few other things) from Dale, a top bloke, with an encyclopaedic knowledge of 2000ad and it's artwork/artists. But I guess you guys know that already!!

Heh, I suspect you just had to look under the bed, Dale :)
The rest of us have to work hard to try and track down the odd page here and there but I think Dale has trouble keeping track of what he has, so he mysteriously 'finds' things he'd just forgotten about.
Anyway, the Nemesis page is great but the Slaine page is simply stunning... Fabry's skill and the level of detail on these pages makes them look like they came from another planet. Incredible.
Got to agree with Ming here....That Slaine page is just awesome !!!....A fabulously detailed piece of Artwork. I mean look how detailed that last panel is, and that's not including the detail on the 'warped' Slaine....Just incredible... :o
Cheers for posting...
I reckon dale just keeps his time travel lollypops under the bed
I've just started collecting and have recently put a gallery on CAF (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=97385). Only two pieces so far, but am hoping to acquire more as funds allow.
If anyone has a Shakara piece they want to sell, please let me know. I love Henry Flint's work, it is so detailed and slightly insane! That really appeals to me...
Really like those pieces from under your bed, Dale. :)
Thanks to Wake for offering some great Ewins pages recently. Up close and personal, this one by Brett is a real treat. Its on CAF, post it some love :lol:
(http://i.imgur.com/D9b6aSo.jpg)
Wow! Now that is a real knockout piece, and thats no mistake. Wake certainly had some choice items up for grabs, didnt he. Any more heading the forum's way Wake?
And a lovely scan to show it off, as well. You invested in a new scanner Dave?
Hey JJ! You know, its a photo taken with my Canon E450......not bad huh?
and bing ........ this is a new Purchase , and if the Mrs found out , my status would be single ...

4 GREAT pages there Dale, and a lovely Brett Ewins too Malak.
I've nothing 'new' to post, so here's a titillating Durham Red page by Mark Harrison to keep you ticking over.

I visited Brett on Saturday. He was looking quite a lot better than when I last saw him (just before the incident). I looked through his pile of Skreemer artwork and selected a dozen pages to sell, so they should be up soon. I'm also planning to put up the Bad Company 2002 pages since I don't have any more of the earlier stories. The story itself wasn't that great but there's a lot of nice artwork in it, and I think that was Brett's last work for 2000AD.
Brett is currently writing a novel (a thriller) which he's hoping to get published by Alan McKenzie by Christmas. His arthritis means that he can't take on any drawing work (at least nothing with a deadline) but he is able to write quite fast (in all caps as per comic lettering) and someone else is then typing his work up after he has edited it.
Good to hear that things seem to be better with Brett, Wake. I'm about to re-read Skreemer for the first time since it came out; fond but rather hazy memories of it.

It's a great series, back when James Joyce was a majo influence on Peter Milligan's writing.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you picked up Wake!
I've just posted a link in the wrong place...I've posted it in Non 2000AD artwork thread...when it should have been posted here...
It's also in the eBay watch thread with links to eBay......
Just to let everyone know , there are what looks like 2000AD sketches for sale on eBay...( Links included in the eBay watch thread )....
They are NOT mine, I hasten to add, but saw them while perusing eBay..
Sketches are of...
Torqumada by Chris Weston...
Zenith by Steve Yeowell.
Nemesis by Henry Flint....This is a good one..
Judge Dredd by Dean Ormston...
Maybe a chance for some of the 'newer' Collectors who are starting off, to get a few pieces at a decent price...
Cheers.

A great pair of covers, Mark! Especially the moonlit scene; beautiful...
Yes, they are rather good, arent they. Good catch!
Lovely new pieces you have there, Hippy. I particularly like the colouring
Not as spectacular, but I'm chuffed anyway, are my Armitage pieces by (the legendary) John Cooper.

Dear John,
Please find enclosed a commissioning letter for Armitage. I've sent two copies, so if you could sign and return one, the other is for your files.
All the best,

Editor, 2000AD
No idea why John used it as art paper! It's part of the reason I wanted this set though!

The first Mongrol tease immediately made me think it was something by Buttonman but that Deadlock has forced me to reconsider. It's a little disappointing, to be honest - he's one of the modern greats.

So I know at least one forum member who recently bought a Henry Flint page from Wake's recently revealed secret stash.
Anyone else here go for one?
There are still two available, unbelievably.

Just amazing. No words really. I want! :D
o1s1n - I bought the two in the recent 'great Mick Austin haul'
Skullmo - that's a great page, nice catch!

Bought these two pages from Boo while I was at the MCM Expo last weekend.

Leigh Gallaghernis NEVER to leave 'Defoe'; is that understood!? >:(
Blimey, its all coming thick and fast, on here.
Good stuff, everybody.
Is there any 2000ad original art that isnt owned by the board now? ;)
(BTW, Just sent funds to King Carlos, for a little Dredd cover he did......)
Great stuff lads, love the Mick Austin covers/pages, does anyone here own either of those to amazing Judge Anderson covers he did (#713 and #760)?
I remember being dazzled by them when I was a kid.
Also, that's a fantastic page of ABC Warriors, Skullmo! Congrats!
Can't wait to see Dale's grail piece..... :P

All credit to Leigh Gallagher! Decent scan now up on CAF...
Mark,
Just seen your new piece on CAF ( full size ).....
Wow !!...It's incredible..... :o
Well done on 'bagging' that beauty !!
All three of your new pieces are stunning in "high def" over on CAF, Mark.
You must be running out of kidneys to sell :D
Very nice Defoe there Mark.
Gallagher's art very much reminds me of 70's / 80's Bryan Talbot.
Would love to see him do a B&W ABC Warriors.
I agree; there seems to be a clear Talbot influence in his work - a b&w ABC story from him would be something else! Mmmmmm, maybe there's a commission in there somewhere...

Its absolutely worth checking out its absolutely brilliant and is normally available fairly easily on eBay at reasonable prices. Amongst Pete Milligan's best work and he's done some crackers as we all know.

Skreemer was a great series Peter Milligan wrote for DC (Vertigo maybe), the art is by Brett and Steve Dillon, and I recommend seeking it out.. It would have worked really well in 2000ad.
And on another note I wonder just what a Dale Grail could be! Maybe the cover of Prog 1.
Skreemer was brilliant - hunt it down now!
Some of you may have seen this on eBay recently, and I was lucky enough to bag it. It's page 2 of the Dredd movie prequel. My first Henry Flint. First of many, I think...

It also has a rather nice sketch on the back:

Very nice!
Very nice, SB!
Good stuff from Henry - and great that he's added a sketch on the back.
(Me and Mark never got that on ours!)
We should put in a formal complaint!
I bet Mr. Flint can draw the post tactful pair of grafitied hairy ball's.

I recently described Wake to my wife as "my dealer". She then commented that, indeed, comic art collectors seemed to have certain parallels to those who indulge in recreational substance abuse.
Surely not.... :lol:
My first original art purchase in quite a while:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v291/MisterD/PJDredd_zps906313f9.jpg)
Blinkin love it! I thought it looked great in the prog all beautifully coloured but I think it's actually better in monochrome. Back of the page has the sketched page layout too, so might consider a peek-a-boo frame.
M.
Just thought I'd share this with you all....My recently arrived Mongrol commission from the amazing Bob Molesworth..
Marchs' Art competition here, produced a fantastic version of Mongrol by Bob Molesworth......a very worthy winner in what was a tremendous month, with some really great entries.......
I really liked this, so got in touch with Bob ( via this forum ) to see if I could buy it, not realising it was 'digital'......After some discussion, Bob agreed to do me a hand painted commissioned piece based on the original line drawing he used for his competition entry....
And this is the result !!! ......
I'm absolutely delighted with this, as I'd been searching for a while for a Mongrol piece of artwork but they are very hard to find....What a really great guy to deal with and a phenomenal artist to boot !!!
I've included a link, I hope, to my comicartfans site where you can see the various stages it went through before becoming the completed piece....and showing a bit more detail.....as I've not quite got the hang of posting decent sized images here yet...

Just thought I'd share this with you all....My recently arrived Mongrol commission from the amazing Bob Molesworth..
Marchs' Art competition here, produced a fantastic version of Mongrol by Bob Molesworth......a very worthy winner in what was a tremendous month, with some really great entries.......
I really liked this, so got in touch with Bob ( via this forum ) to see if I could buy it, not realising it was 'digital'......After some discussion, Bob agreed to do me a hand painted commissioned piece based on the original line drawing he used for his competition entry....
And this is the result !!! ......
I'm absolutely delighted with this, as I'd been searching for a while for a Mongrol piece of artwork but they are very hard to find....What a really great guy to deal with and a phenomenal artist to boot !!!
I've included a link, I hope, to my comicartfans site where you can see the various stages it went through before becoming the completed piece....and showing a bit more detail.....as I've not quite got the hang of posting decent sized images here yet...
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1020502# (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryPiece.asp?Piece=1020502#)
Cheers
That is a brilliant piece! I love his art!

Well, I think it's absolutely fabulous in Black and White, BUT and apologies to all you B/W 'purists' out there, I think the coloured version is just so much MORE.....Incredible......
Thanks for posting, Ming...

Lovely piece thought, isn't it? Looks like a reasonable starting price, Steve. Am giving this one some serious thought. If I don't bid, I hope you make tonnes of cash on this. If I do bid, I hope I'm the only bidder :D

What's better than one piece of Dredd art turning up? Two pieces turning up, of course! ;)

I can't decide which of those I like more, so you'll have to put them in a room and let them fight it out.
Lovely stuff, Iain! (And I just sent that email to Brendan.)
Wowzers!
A pair of beauties there Iain.
Wow - a couple of lovely pages there!
I think the Carlos one is my favourite of the two but I am quite biased. That's the cover of the IDW colelction! A great piece to add to your collection!

My vote goes to Daddy, but its like choosing favourite children :D
And nice bit of Mr Flint you have there,
Skullmo. The detail in the main panel! As a returning Squaxx, I've missed a lot of stories, so haven't come across Deadlock yet (if I read the text at the bottom of the page right). Who is the character in that main panel?
Seeing as teasing is in vogue on this thread, I have just paid for a recent cover (published in the last year or so), and it will be despatched the middle of next week. I liked it when I first saw it on the comic, as did my 9 year old, so we agreed we would try and bag it if we could. And bag it we did! :)
Very nice Deadlock page there Jacob, as you know one I contemplated myself.
My Dredd Henry Flint page should be arriving from Wake this Monday...will post a pic when it arrives.
Cant go wrong with Flint and Deadlock.
Aye, that's a cracker of a page Skullmo - no doubt about that.
And looking forward to seeing your page being posted on here Link.
Very often I think that if I post some of the purchases I make, folk here will sigh at the small scale of my little purchases (not really of course, but its the best way to express the 'level' of purchase I'm able to make.)
This time however I couldn't be more proud of what I think is a page that the very definition of Red Seas, one of my all time favourite series from the Prog. Small purchase, BIG LOVE (or something silly like that)

I'm so happy with my two latest buys (the other is over on the non 2000ad art thread) that I've finally put my 'bottom end' buys up on a CAF Gallery. If you want to see how the other half lives.

Well,

I think you are doing yourself, and your collection 'down' here..... :D
I think that you really have some really good pages on your site......And as you have said here and on previous posts......
Red Seas is one of your favourites, and now you own a page !!...That's what it's all about !!....
To finally get something that means a great deal to you....It's not about the budget.....it's about the 'art'....
And you've got some great stuff there !!....
For me, I'm not a 'fan' of Red Seas...
BUT......your
PJ Holden commission is wonderful ( something special to you and a dammed fine piece of artwork ) , and your
Henry Flint page is incredible....

I'm in total agreement with
Bob on this. I'm also in total agreement with Bob that the Henry Flint
Colin has is incredible. I've just spent a good few minutes looking at each frame. Lovely.
I'm pretty new to this world, and my budget isn't huge (although I sold a valuable Nirvana record on eBay recently that added a large amount to the art pot so a few new pieces are on there way). I'm buying what makes me smile, or go "wow", or kicks off a memory from years ago.
Small purchase, BIG love - couldn't agree more. And I have two pieces in particular that are on the way that cost less than £30 each which fall squarely into that category... I probably wasn't going to post them here, but defo will now, coz I like them very much :)
While I'm thinking this out, big shout out to
Judge Jack,
hippynumber1 and
fatboydale who have been helping me with valuations, expectations (like: "um, sorry SB, but I think you might find Brian Bolland Dredd a
little expensive") and generally being helpful when I needed it. Cheers guys.

Yeah good call, those folk and Ming, SteveMiller and Wake, as well as others have been a great help in me getting my collection going... though maybe I should be cursing them? Funny someone should mention selling records. As we head towards moving house I'm looking at my vinyl collection and thinking very seriously about how much chance I get to listen to my records these days and wondering whether they should go. If they do I know where the money is going!
Yeah, can't forget Wake, provider of my first piece, my fab Ron Smith. Wake - curse you and your lovely artwork that sings to me on a regular basis :lol:
I'm selling the lot Colin, and shoving it all into the artwork fund. 3 boxes to sort through. I prefer the artwork to a stack of vinyl I will never look at or listen to again (I bought it all on CD again anyway!). The rest of it probably isn't worth much, but every little helps!
Smashing Deadlock page Skullmo and the Red Sea's page is excellent Colin_YNWA. The pen & brush work is fantastic.
I've got some old Chris de Burgh vinyl that I'd grudgingly part with to finance some original art. It's not been signed or defaced in any way. Any offerers?
I do own two pages of comic art, both bought well over twenty years ago and costing me far more than I could afford (or should I say more money than I had in the world) at the time. A 'Classic X-Men' back cover by John Bolton and a page from the prog by some chap called McMahon. I love them both dearly.
I'll have to try and get a decent photo of them to post some day.
Stew.
Be careful when flaunting your McMahon page, Judge Jack may very well eat your face off to add it to his collection!

No, not a Cursed Earth or even a Dredd. It's a Slaine page from the Sky Chariots story. It cost me nearly two weeks money at the time, but I figured that I didn't need to eat every day of the week.

Out of interest which one, I used to love Classic X-Men back in the day and those Bolton backs up were superb and the 'posters' on the back simply wonderful.
As for the missing Rosette its was at the jewelers getting a polish, issuing those hotshots can be very damaging you know.
Oh and thanks to all the folk pacing by my CAF page and saying nice things. CAF seems to be a rather nice place and I've already been spending too much time there, but now I've come out the closet, so to speak I can see myself playing out even more.

It's the back cover to Classic X-Men No. 1, with Wolverine trying to chat up Jean Grey in the foreground and Angel flying in to [spoiler]twat him![/spoiler]
John Bolton was a smashing bloke, he was doing a signing to promote his work on the X-Men back in 86/87. I'd shown him some of my drawings and he suggested that I try a brush to ink with instead of the drawing pens that I had been using. He then did a sketch of Wolverine in my drawing pad and said "There you are, have a go with a brush at inking that and bring it to show me next time i'm in town.
John had a lot of art for sale but I couldn't afford any, so I did a deal with the owner of the shop where I paid half and he put the rest. Then the following week I paid what I owed, plus a fiver for his trouble. I was one happy bunny. :D
Stew.
I'm not surprised, I've not owned that comic for some time but I remember that picture well and its a doozy.

if this is what i think it is ..... it is a highly sort after page by a certain collector .... i would love to see your inbox , and see who throwing you cash :D
Well Sky Chariots is a particularly tasty art pie that I'd definitely love a slice of, but I'm really not chasing anything these days... Honest.

I remember when Comic Showcase in London had pages of Sky Chariots for £60 each :-(

oh that's just plain mean , that's photo shopped , i'm not that good looking ...
All will be shown soon ... got to get another camera due to me breaking the lens with my prettyy face ...
When I bought my page I had a difficult choice to make, either the Slaine page or a Dredd page from the Judge Minty story. I intended to go back and buy the Dredd page, but then life took one of those unexpected turns and through the mist of depression I pissed all my money up the wall. Still, you've got to laugh. :D At the end of the day I think I made the right decision on the page, and there is no point in having regrets on the things we could have had. Be they pages or anything else. ;)
The Chris de Burgh records are still up for grabs if anybody is interested.... i'm starting to get a desire to buy some original art.
Cheers guys.

My bro posted this up on comic art fans last night, so I may as well post it up on here!

Gruddamnyou! I asked Paul to sell me this six months ago and he said 'No'! :(
If it's any condolence, Mark, it took a big offer to get Paul to part with it. My two other purchases from Paul were actually inspired by my jealousy of your Bolland piece. They are from the same Meg.

As I said, inspired by a supreme jealousy of hippynumber1's Bolland Kleggs, I have acquired my own Klegg piece. I just love the slightly confused look on his face when he looks at his missing hand (or paw, or whatever a Klegg has!).
Some very nice Marshall pages there Simeon- welcome to The War of the Marshalls!!!!
And as a welcoming gift to the theater of war, check out this classic era Marshall 'Tyranny Rex' page that just fell through my letterbox.
I think I'm literally going to spend the rest of the day looking at it. His best work IMHO (excluding 'Firekind' of course).

That's a brilliant page - why don't I own that?
Yeah that Tyranny Page is a beaut.
I also agree since Firekind and Leatherjack are out of bounds for the rest of us (well in Leatherjack's case all but one of us) Tyranny Rex is the page to go for Paul Marshal art as far as I'm concerned.
That's lovely, Link. You should spend the rest of the day patting yourself on the back, whilst staring at it
However....
Mr Marshall had one more treat for me. In The War of the Marshalls, I have one more submission. This one I had to beg him to part with (well, a bit, I had to offer more money for it). So here it is - the exploding head of Klegg!

It's a brilliant Davis piece Dale.

Just picked up this marvellous David Roach Judge Anderson page. I'm really pleased with it, the detail and linework in the piece is lovely. I particularly like the first frame.

Just a reminder that the prog 1600 cover I have up on ebay finishes later today....
That's a very smart david Roach piece.....might have to get one! :lol:
Yes, its a very nice page, isnt it. Think id like me a Roach page, as well.
Thanks for Roach appreciation, guys. It is fast becoming a favourite. The more I look at it, the more detail I find.
That first frame was featured in the recent Megazine article on David Roach too (Meg 332)
I love that Roach page, and if I had the cash to spare would snap up the Anderson Engram page Wake currently has for sale.

Something a bit different from me...the pencil & ink's of Kev Walkers 'Andy Warhol style' page from
Anderson: Childhoods End.
One of my favorite Anderson stories, and a very memorable moment.
Great stuff, Link. I'm not familiar with the story, am working my way through the Anderson Files at present, but I like those pieces of yours very much. A great snag, sir!
Its a great Anderson story, that. Featuring some most choice art.
Got my John Coopers from Mark today. Cheers fella. I haven't unpacked the Future Shock yet, but have gone through all the Armitage pages and this one really stood out.
I'm a huge, massive, huge, great big John Cooper fan - and I'm so chuffed to have some of his work.

Got my John Coopers from Mark today. Cheers fella. I haven't unpacked the Future Shock yet, but have gone through all the Armitage pages and this one really stood out.
I'm a huge, massive, huge, great big John Cooper fan - and I'm so chuffed to have some of his work.
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/JohnCooperTontineClubEp1Pg1_zpsae673f0a.jpg)
The rest will go on CAF soon - possibly tonight if I get a chance. Better get on with unpacking the Future Shock, which will probably need to wait until the weekend before going up to CAF...
I don't know John Cooper, but this is some great artwork, I'll jave to check him out.
Got a really nice painted cover coming tomorrow .... just to tease , can you guess what it is yet ?? lol not my grail ....

My latest page for sale on ebay....item number 200931730873 Carl Critchlow cover to prog 1593 !!
Here's a piece I picked up off eBay recently, in which someone is upset by an alien's mighty organ...
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/JonglingMod2_zps45240e87.jpg)
'Nemesis the Warlock' - it was all about sex, really, wasn't it?
I never saw this on there!!!
I would have loved this :-(
I was bidding on that page Greg, but maxed out at £110.
Glad you got it.
Despite checking eBay at least every second day....that's a couple of items I've missed seeing recently .... :'(
Not that I would have went for the Nemesis piece, it doesn't 'fit in' with what I'm collecting, although it's a great piece but didn't even get a 'glimpse' of it in my searches ...
Any tips on how to set up eBay to 'alert' when specific items come up....Do you put the relevant artists names or subjects or categories in ??.....Any advice ???
I would have 'missed' a bargain Henry Flint Mongrol sketch if SimeonB hadn't alerted me...
And I managed to get it for £14.25 including postage......
I've 'passed on' several good items to other members of this board but to be honest it was 'just luck' that I came across them.....I'd like to be a little more 'scientific' in my searches.... :D
Cheers...
I don't think there is a single fool proof way to find everything you might ever be interested in on eBay. Certainly the "saved searches" is a good idea for specific items, like searching for "Henry Flint", or whatever.
You can get quite sophisticated with the search criteria. The Using search commands (http://pages.ebay.co.uk/help/search/search-commands.html) help page on eBay shows how to use operators (AND, OR, NOT) and other text search stuff which can be useful in being very exact with your search. Limiting to certain categories helps too.
For my art, I generally go into the "Original Comic Art" category under "Comics". The eBay default it "Best Match" where it has a go as using your browsing history to crudely order items (the Henry Flint Mongrol was right at the top of that list!). I have a flick down the first page of those. Then I change the order to "Time: newly listed" and have a flick down those. I do this perhaps every couple of days or so.
I think Judge Jack has taken the time to set up a lot of Saved Search alerts, so he may be better placed to give advice on the best ones to use. But I like the "happy accident" discoveries. For example, there was some Dangermouse artwork from the 80s I happened upon last week. Would never have set up a rule to search for it, but it was fun to find (and I wish I'd had a few quid to acquire one of them for a bit of nostalgia).
Thanks SimeonB....will definitely have a go at modifying my 'search' parameters / categories to try and make sure I don't miss any hidden 'gems'...
I've had a couple of really lucky 'spots', virtually as soon as they were posted on eBay, but more luck than good judgement........I got a Sean Phillips watercolour Zombie Wolverine sketch for my sons' Xmas that way.......It's on my CAF page.....But I've missed out on several I would have liked to had a bid at...
Any more advice much appreciated guys.....And if I do happen to spot something that's not of interest to me, but might be of interest to others on this forum, I'll post it in this thread...or on eBay watch thread :D
Cheers

Right, lovely people. I have FINALLY got round to uploading all of my John Cooper pieces that Mark sold me onto CAF. So feel free to pop over and have a peruse.
Also on CAF is this fab piece from A.H.A.B supplied by our resident "eBay Special Member". Cheers Dale. No idea why you wanted to part with it, but it's mine now and you can't have none :)

Agreed. A lot of times, people dont fully list/describe, or spell (!) correctly any original art their selling, so saved searches bypass these ones.
Gotta keep ya peepers peeled, im afraid. Though the Guys on here, are pretty good at given shout outs, if summat pops up.

A lovely Henry Flint page from the recent classic Cold Deck story. Obtained from Wake.
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/colddeck5_5_zps2c80d3ed.jpg)
Quality, that. Well done!
Very nice indeed!
I also got this from Wake. I am building my Hicklenton collection bit by bit!
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/deathbringer10_4_zpsc9edfe50.jpg)
Brilliant page - that's my absolute favourite 'Be pure! Be vigilant! Behave!' moment.
(Shakes fist)
Cheers Greg. Your Hicklenton pages are amazing!
Another Hicklenton? :o
Beautiful! Yet again, I'm crazy jelly :lol:
Lovely Hickleton Torquemada page, fantastic stuff Skullmo.
That really is something else. Nice one Skullmo
Great Hicklenton & Flint pages Jacob!
I've recently purchased the Dredd page directly following the one you have (from Wake too), must post it soon.
Can we see the Dale Grail now please!
Maybe Dale's actual grail is keeping everyone on tender hooks wondering what his fictional grail might be?
I refer you to my previous post... ;)

Killer page by Colin. And its payday tomorrow.....
And checking your other items, i see your also selling that Carl Critchlow Prog 1593 cover. Very nice, as well
And i see the Staples Dredd that you listed a bit ago has made it onto CAF now, and into a new collection
Steve.My, was that ever a nice piece. Shame it all pops up when i had 0% funds, :'(
Blimey, you've got your finger on the pulse, JJ! Nothing escapes your web crawling, does it :)
Yeah, well done on the sales Steve. I nearly went for the Staples, but something else caught my eye and then it went over my budget. Congrats though, and lovely pieces you are putting up at the mo.
But stand back everyone, JJ has money in his pocket and the wide world of eBay is waiting. What will he be posting on this thread next. Stay tuned...
Some nice pages on the bay at the moment, mine have got some competition. .
Did someone here get this??? :o
Unfortunately it was only up for a couple of hours and someone made the seller an offer. Would have jumped on it (no price too high!) if I had the chance.
Always, found the Nemesis drawing dodgy, but absolutely adore Torquemada in this one, one of my favourite images of him. Cover disturbed the hell out of me as a kid :lol:
Pretty gutted I didn't see it first anyway, seeing as he only did 2 covers for the prog. Ah well, I hope the new owner enjoys it :)

Had a word with him myself, lucky chap! Can't wait to see more photos of it :)
Regarding our discussions - Took the page out of storage the other day and seriously can't let go of it, far too precious! Have to get the finger out and send the four pages off to the framers. Absolute sin not to have them on display.
Fair enough but if you ever change your mind...
Now then, off to hawk my Mick Austin around... :lol:
Ian Kennedy 1984 Sci Fi painted cover

That really is a beauty, Dale. But everyone's wondering where the 'Dale Grail' is, so spill the beans!
Even knowing that's Ian Kennedy, aside from Dredd's boot (and the bloody great signature) I still can't get it as Ian Kennedy! Don't know why just doesn't look like his work to my eyes???
That's beautiful...
Ah the summer of '84...
Very nice Dale!
Lovely cover, that's painting right there.
I remember buying that summer special on holiday and being told I was too old for comics at 14.

Looking at Dredd's face, I'd bet cold, hard cash there's a rough or a thumbnail by Robin Smith under Kennedy's painted finish...

Check out the muzzle flash and the lighting on the shoulder eagle, not to mention the background vehicles - it's
very Kennedy. I suspect what's throwing you is the face - it's unlike anything he normally does, in fact if I wasn't looking at the original art there I'd suspect some Robin Smith bodging about the whole head area. Maybe he was working directly from a Smith reference for the face? Bloody lovely though, that special saw me through a wet fortnight in Waterford.
EDIT: Campbell beat me to it.

Insofar as the figures have the same motion, the aliens look similar, the faces have the same construction, the panel composition is similar. It's just no where near as confident as his work.

Thats sounds about right.
And with out digging out my copy of the Annual, was this even drawn especially for 2000ad, or was it an already produced story that they simply used?
Can't tell who it is, but judging by that last panel I'm guessing he drew about a hundred Starblazers...
Some lovely Torque2 there Skullmo!

Intermittently, I attempt to steal Cam's style by scanning pages of his art and attempting to replicate his technique in Manga Studio and I disagree with every part of that, and I say that as the person that petitioned Wake to get Cam's three Slaine covers correctly attributed on BARNEY.
If you see Cam's hand in that work, then that's what you see, and fair enough. I will genuinely eat my hat if those pages are Cam's work.

On a side note, it's great to see it still looks so fresh too! I wish I could go back in time and snatch those felt markers out of JH's hands. Damn things fade horribly! :(
Yes. I think that about a lot of the art I see being done now: Henry Flint, Cliff Robinson, MacNeil - Markers :-(
Also, a lot of John's art seems to have water damage. I don't think he took care of it :-( Maybe he did not realise it's brilliance.

All of the JH pages I've purchased came from people who bought them directly from John's dad at a market in Canterbury - and they weren't exactly selling for very much.
I believe he had these pages stored somewhere in his folks house - who I
think did a clearout and just sold the stuff off at markets.
Like you said, I'm more than sure they didn't realize the significance of the pages. Which is a real shame.
Still, thankfully they weren't thrown out and we got them, even if they are a bit dirty..some might say it adds something to them too :)

And I'm not suggesting it is by the way as I don't know enough about the guy to know his work or when he was active BUT Riot who did Tribal Memories (apologise I know he's been identified here by his real name before, but that escapes me.). There's something about the inking on a few panels and that last page, amongst other things, but given my struggle with Ian Kennedy as the Dredd artist it's clear I'm not to be trusted on such matters!
Was Riot not Brendan McCarthy?? :lol:
Love the last panel of that Casanovas strip Dale, that Bagley character actually looks a little like Doris Day!!
PS: Is that Alan Moore story your Grail, Dale?

Tony Wright (Wright-riot, geddit?). I know what you mean - the contrast between dark, scratchy shaded areas and fine flat line detail on sections of primarily white armour and technology recalls
Tribal Memories - but like you say, it's definitely not him.
Quote from: Colin_YNWA on 28 June, 2013, 02:20:27 PM
Even knowing that's Ian Kennedy, aside from Dredd's boot (and the bloody great signature) I still can't get it as Ian Kennedy! Don't know why just doesn't look like his work to my eyes???
I know what you mean. But looking at the dry brush effect on the front of the Lawmaster such as on the lights and tyre I now see it as being by Ian Kennedy.

Good. I was kinda hoping it would be something else!
Just updated CAF with some more of John Cooper's Armitage artwork purchased from hippynumber1 who provides great service with great value. So for all your Armitage artwork needs, talk to The Hipster :)
I shall take the liberty of posting my favourite image of the batch. Again, it's from Tontine and that monkey is evil....

Here you go lad(ette)s - My computer skills are bad and my scanner is not big enough so I have badly stuck these 2 images together for a full scan

And yes, it's amazing!
Purity's head is painted on another piece of card and stuck on. The surround of the picture is a sea of masking tape. And I have no idea what it is painted in but it is shiny. Perhaps enamel paints.

Marmite , i hate to say this ,i hate this cover, its clumsy and out right amateur ..... it reflect's nothing of the genius of Johnny and his interior pages .... Marmite you either love it or don't ....
And i expect a kicking for writing this ....
Yeah you are right . .. . . don't know what I was thinking . . . I'll take it down the skip tomorrow morning.
Ah, so it was you that bagged this cover, Skullmo. Many congrats on snagging it! I think a few people may well have been after it, but you snuck in there, you sneaky fox, you! :)
As to what the medium might be I have to say my first thought was airbrush, but you have the piece so can probably tell a bit more. My Dad went through an airbrush phase and they don't necessarily always come out looking like Coke adverts. I saw a similar affect in one of his pieces as your Hicklenton.
Anyway, however it's done it is art. And great art often causes controversy. Horses for courses.
Your round next time we catch up!
Well, I love it (but I hate Marmite)! I agree it's not the best thing he ever did but it does have a rawness to it that draws me to it. It's also great that you got the cover to a prog that is so meaningful to you; and knowing how special it is, it's impossible to resent you for snatching it out from under my nose (you sneaky bugger!)

Drop me a quick note where that 'skip' is, and I'll be waiting for you to drop it off !!! :lol:
I agree with
Mark on this .....It is very 'raw', but has a certain fascination to it, that does draw you in.......A very nice piece of artwork...( and I hate Marmite )...
Disagree with
Dale....I don't think it's 'downright amateurish' and imagine that a lot of people on this forum who are artists, would also disagree....Nothing about it looks amateurish to me....
A very raw, powerful piece and a great catch, Well done. !!
I love Marmite but I don't like that cover, and never did. So ner.
John's interior B&W work contains so much in the way of raw power, detail and discomfiting elements and, for me, these are sorely lacking in that image. All very personal and subjective but there y'go.
...Whereas I think it's really wonderful piece, appropriately evoking a medieval Icon in its stiff formality but with Torquemada's insanity straining to break free, and looking like it has accreted from layers of shiny candle wax and soot. Takes all sorts!
Anyone else pick up a Paul Davidson piece from his recent Ebay auction?
I had bids on several, including his cover (which actually went quite cheaply in the end), but only came out with this page from Prog 1827.
It's the one I liked the best to be honest...great Dredd profile & chin-age.
Nope! Completely missed those...
Nice page, Link. And like The Hipster, I totally missed these!

By the way- I think he was listing these internationally (I was charged in US Dollars).
Might explain how they slipped under some radars.
Grud! That explains it then. Is Paul based in America?

I'm almost certain he's still based in the UK, but probably puts his stuff up internationally due to most of his output being for Marvel comics (I previously bought some of his 'X-Factor' pages, which is why I had him on a saved search).
I recently bumped into a similar problem. I've been on eBay for soooo long I originally registered when there only was a US site. I've had to get my account switched to a UK one because stuff I was listing was only appearing on ebay.com.
TLDR. Old man of the internet problems

Thanks for the scans Skullmo! Delighted you finally got your hands on it. :)
Great to see closeup details like some of the penwork over the paint on the faces. Interesting find about Purity's face too. Not surprising given most of his pages are an absolute collage of pastes - I always wish there was a way of seeing what's underneath!
Regarding the page itself, I always found that, genius which Johnny is with a pen and ink, he never really could paint or use colour particularly well. Which is evident in this cover.
I do love it and there's something incredibly raw about the whole image, from Torq's face to how it's created, but as a painter I can't help but say 'Johnny! what were you thinking?!' when it comes to certain parts. (especially the Nemesis image)
Still, you're a lucky git (!) for grabbing it and I'd sell my first born (if I had one!) to add it to the collection! :D Enjoy!

I'm a big Nino fan. I could be wrong but I think it's someone doing a good job of a 'Nino style' but not the man himself. I'd love to know for certain....
Nothing new here, move along... I posted a crappy pic of this page soon after this thread started (i.e. over three years ago); it deserves better, so here it is again. From Colin Wilson's first commissioned 2000AD story*: The Sweet Taste of Justice, 2000AD Sci-Fi Special 1981.
(http://i.imgur.com/QUed6Et.jpg)
* Some Future Shocks saw print first, but this was his first gig for Tharg.
That page is a joy, ming. The detail is amazing! I might have to get me some of that Mr Wilson (he says looking at his empty pockets...) :)
I absolutely adore Colin Wilson's Dredd. If my attention of late hadn't been elsewhere I've a page I'm hoping will still be around, for years to come it would seem it'll have to be, that I'd just love to snap up.
I keep getting distracted though. I hope the results of my latest distraction will be up soon.
Glad you like it! The detail Colin lavished on these early strips is really impressive (and the pages I have are pretty huge, around 38 x 56cm). The thing I like best about his work is the fact that solid-looking tech and loose, free-flowing linework sit side by side so comfortably. The shading under Dredd's elbow in that centre-left panel is just beautiful...
I may as well throw in a better pic of this Rogue page while I'm at it (apologies if I already posted this but I can't keep track of this thread these days):
(http://i.imgur.com/3M1psnz.jpg)
Colin Wilson has been underused as a Dredd artist. Does a mean MC-1. Draws the best interskeds, skedways, underskeds, overskeds etc.
That Rogue page is stunning. I love the Wilson droid's early stuff, it really goes above and beyond the call of duty!

This is one of the reference pages I used when deciding on the dimensions for Temight Replicas biochips.
Maaaan- I'd forgotten how great Colin Wilson's early black and white art was. Simply stunning! I may need to go rummage through all those dusty progs....
Yep, Colin's earlier work is something else, isnt it. He was one of those artists that seemed to arrive fully formed, and certainly hit the ground running. Became an instant fan of Colin's work.
Jammy jammy Ming, ;)
I can't compete with all this fabulous stuff but here's some bits I picked up at The London Film & Comic Con this month. Check out the non-2000 ad thread for more great swag I got.
(http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x392/chiefy2shoes/London%20Film%20and%20Comic%20Con%202013/WP_001708_zpsf24ea250.jpg) (http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/chiefy2shoes/media/London%20Film%20and%20Comic%20Con%202013/WP_001708_zpsf24ea250.jpg.html)
I picked up the finished Kev Hopgood commission. He explained that he did a rough pencil sketch, scanned it and digitally inked it. Printed it out and added a grey wash by hand. It's brilliant.
(http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x392/chiefy2shoes/London%20Film%20and%20Comic%20Con%202013/WP_001707_zps36796360.jpg) (http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/chiefy2shoes/media/London%20Film%20and%20Comic%20Con%202013/WP_001707_zps36796360.jpg.html)
Chris Weston tries out a new pastel style on black paper.

Seconded
That Muppets piece is Zarjaz!
I really like that Steve Baskerville, and that Weston is very interesting. Chris is a really great guy and I get the sense he just loves trying new things.
You guys remember the recent Prog cover Chris did? Dredd in the shattered Mega City One? Took him a week to do! A week! And it's massive - I think he said it was A1. He said he used just about every art technique he knew to create it and used pencils, ink, watercolour pencils, paints... He sold it something like the day after it was posted on Twitter, and frankly, whoever has it is a very lucky person! That cover, and the Greg Staples on the Fourth Faction TPB, are epic...
Anyway, well done on all of your art you bagged, Chief. It is all fab. I think I need to take lessons from you in getting round a Comic Con because I pretty much failed to bag anything :)

Thanks. It was a strange con. Short queues as most people were there for the film and tv stuff. The Sunday was especially dead in artist's alley and pretty much every artist still had room on their lists for sketches. It did mean that you could stop and chat to them for longer than usual though so for me it was a good thing. My wallet doesn't think so though.
My problem was two-fold. Lack of money and lack of research. I had a good chat with Chris and Kev Hopgood, but didn't really appreciate who else was there. I also only took £50 with me, which I thought was a decent amount - but nope...

Yep with you on that one
SimeonB.....
I was at
Thoughtbubble in Leeds last year and got 2 sketches done ( by Sean Phillips and John McCrea ), at
£20 each , really good ones so I was 'chuffed'....
I also bought 2 Compendiums of
Sleeper and
Hitman ( also signed ) for about
£25 each, bought lunch, and that was £100 gone.....And that was me totally skint !! ..........Skint but happy !!.....
It's a surprisingly expensive 'Day out', especially if you are planning on getting a couple of sketches done...
This time I will be saving more cash and doing a bit of research and trying to plan the day a bit better.....
Having said that, I spent the rest of the Day walking around like a
'slack jawed yokel' just marvelling at the artists and the stuff on display that a lack of cash prevented me from getting..... :'(
It's a 'slippery slope' this being a Comic Art fan...but it was a brilliant day......
Damm this 'lack of cash'....!!
You could have got half a Neil Adams sketch for that!
Quote from: Skullmo on 09 July, 2013, 10:22:37 AM
You could have got half a Neil Adams sketch for that!
Ah - but which half :)
So here's some lessons learnt about acquiring art from these cons - because I went into it with only a half-arsed plan and came out quite disappointed...
(1) Get there early.
(2) Have a list of people you want to grab and grab them as early as possible (they will happily sign stuff for nowt in most cases, as well as sketching, unlike the celebs from TV and movies).
(3) Expect prices to vary wildly between artists (see quoted comment from
Skullmo about Neil Adams).
(4) Have a tonne of cash with you. Some of the dealers in the main area were taking cards, but clearly comic artists aren't traders and only took cash. I agree with
Bob that £100 is probably minimum (in addition to your entry fee). At Comic Con that would have seen you with probably 3-5 sketches and a warm, bendy sandwich...
All was not lost for me, as I managed to arrange for a sketch to be done post-show and mailed to me. Obviously, I will post it here when it arrives!

Yep !!.....
Agree with all that
SimeonB.......
Also......If you are getting a few sketches done, try and get there about 15 mins before your favoured artist is due to arrive.....It's not time wasted, as you'll have a good chat with the others waiting and pick up a few 'tips' about prices and who's doing what....and also 'good' ones to see etc..
If convention sketches are your thing the average price was about
£20 at Thoughtbubble and the artists also have (usually) their most recent GNs there and they'll happily sign them for you.....
Remember CASH is 'king' here.... and there are a few 'deals' to be made if you are 'up for it'...
Above all.....as SimeonB says......Have a plan......If you don't you'll end up missing someone you really wanted to see....
Cheers...
Good posts Guys, as someone who doesnt really do con's, i need to pull my finger out. Thats my plan!
But yes, i hadnt realised just how expensive these things can be.
I know some of us who frequent here have discuss having a big meet up, and thats something im down for.

Yeah - the "Original Art Thread" Hell Trek would loads of fun - and if we hunt as a pack we might stand a chance of bagging some good stuff at good prices :) The cosplay boys and girls organise themselves to get to cons, so surely us Original Art Collectors can get our arses in gear!
Bristol has announced their 2014 dates for the 10th & 11th of May. I appreciate Bristol is near to no-one (except Smiffy) but it is Henry Flint's local con, and I for one am seriously thinking of making a pilgrimage with all my TPBs and enough spare change to bag a few sketches. Our American west coast cousins are most lucky to have him in San Diego soon...
Probably most practical would be somewhere mid-country (or "The North" as I call it :lol:). And probably in 2014 so we can get as many along as possibly. Thoughts anyone?
Much as I like the idea of Mid-country as the most convenient for me, I mean everyone :-\, the only con we have here is Memorabilia which is RUBBISH for comic art collecting! I think probably the next best, location wise for everyone would be Thoughtbubble?
Snagging a few sketches/pages would be nice. A 2000ad heavy guest list doubley so, but i think id happily settle for a beer laden day/night out, ;)
Thoughtbubble sounds good, though (and close to me as well).
I've found that getting a con sketch tends to work in one of three ways.
1. The artist takes a list at the start of the day with a fixed number of spots. This can be troublesome as some artists will start a list of only 10 or so spots. If you don't visit them in the first 10 mins of the show it's possible you won't get anything from them.
2. The artist again takes a list but doesn't have a fixed number of open spots. They'll often work on the list overnight if they are there all weekend or just tell you, 'If I have time I'll do it but I can't guarantee it'.
3. The artist doesn't take a list and you have to wait your turn. Sean Phillips and David Aja are examples here. Sean can crank out sketches in about 20 mins and David is about 30 mins. The main difference between these two is that David sketches for free. At Thought Bubble 2011 he only left his table twice each day for about 5 minutes each time. By the end of the weekend he was knackered.
My top tip if you're thinking about getting some sketches at a con is the pre con email. Fire off some emails to the artists you would like to get something from and ask them if they are doing any pre-con sketches that can be collected at the event. If they aren't, they still might do a pre-con list that you can get on. I started doing this recently and it makes the choice of who to visit first at a con that much easier if you know you already have some spots in the bag.
Having recently done a re-read of Red Seas and having it fully confirmed what an under-rated classic it is I determined to get a couple of extra pieces of art from the series. So with the kind help of our own Mr Wells, I got in touch with the very amenable Mr Yeowell and after a short and plesent back and forth got the pieces that will follow.
I will definitively be going back. I beginning to think I might well stop being a comic art collector and become a Steve Yeowell comic art collector as I love his work so much and there are some many more key pieces by the man I'd love to get me mites on!
Anyway excuse me spamming this section for a while.
Second page of the shark attack from 'Under the banner of King Death'

A while ago Tordelback (I think it was, sorry if I'm miss remembering there) mentioned how great the dinosaur sequence was from 'The Hollow Land', at the time I was on my way to buying this as I really couldn't agree more.
(http://cdn.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/red%20seas%2003.jpg)
Well you can't have enough Erebus can you. Also from 'The Hollow Land'
(http://cdn.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/red%20seas%2004.jpg)
I've a lot to say about this page in reaction to some of the negative comments made about Steve Yeowell's art from the Red Seas finale. So for now I'll leave it here, the first page from 'Fire across the deep' in all its epic glory and let people decide for themselves (as people always will with art of course).
(http://cdn.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/red%20seas%2005.jpg)
Last one, I'm sure many are glad to hear. Jack reveals his play and Hoorrraaahhh it Erebus with Augustus and Newton astride. Just magnificent.

Great set of pages Colin, congrats on snagging them!
A few folks had a moan at Steve's art on this, didnt they? But not me. Lovely stuff, which rather strangely, looks even more tasty, presented here in their original form.
Good stuff, Colin. Not familiar with the story, but do like the artwork!
Top stuff Colin, super nice pages, congrats!
Lovely Red sea's artwork , nice one Colin....

I love the way you can 'find' a complete story ;)
As a teenage in the 80's, I saved up all my money to turn my bedroom into a comic art gallery.
This was the first page that I bought, from Bad Company by Brett Ewins.
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art7.jpg)
I liked the series so much that I got another page from it:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art6.jpg)
I saved up to by the cover with Thrax saying "Your Dead Kano!". Sadly it was sold by time I had the necessary groats, so I grabbed this ABC Warriors cover by Mike McMahon instead.
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art1.jpg)
Another by Mike McMahon, this time from Ro-Busters:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art5.jpg)
And of course, what collection could be complete without a page of Rogue Trooper by Cam Kennedy?
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art8.jpg)
I also got myself a few pages of Dredd.
This is my favourite piece of comic art, by Steve Dillon.
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art2.jpg)
I so wanted a piece by Bryan Talbot from Nemesis or Luther Arkright, but was never able to find one. So I got myself this colour page instead from the Dredd Annual:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art3.jpg)
A page by Gary "Marvelman" Leach featuring Chopper.
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art4.jpg)
I look away for 5 minutes and amazing things happen!!
Sean - welcome to the kidney-less obsessives corner of the forum - those are some really really amazing pages!!! That cover is stunning!
Colin - I love Steve's stuff and those are great pieces of his art. Well don on getting those!
Dale - A great story you have there!
And I am not sure I ever posted these, but if I did apologies!

OK, this isn't from 2000AD, it'd from Starlord. But I think that all 2000AD readers will appreciate this page:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art9.jpg)
This is from Warrior issue 1, by Steve Dillion from Laser Eraser & Pressbutton. When will this fabulous series be collected into a graphic novel?
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art10.jpg)
More Steve Dillion on Axel Pressbutton, from the first issue of the US Eclipse series:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art11.jpg)
Art by Jim Baike from the excellent but little heard of DC series, Electric Warrior:
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art12.jpg)
My favourite comic book character was Dr Doom. I picked this up for £2!
(http://www.seanharry.com/ComicArt/art14.jpg)
A nice classic X-Men piece, but I have no idea who it's by or were it appeared. Any help?

Sean - welcome to the kidney-less obsessives corner of the forum - those are some really really amazing pages!!! That cover is stunning!
Ha-Ha! My kidney's are safe! I bought my collection back in the eighties, and never paid more than £20 for a page!
I so wanted a page of Marshall Law or Nemesis by Kevin O'Neil, but sadly couldn't afford it then. Looking at the prices they go for now, would have been a sound investment.
Stupidist thing ever? I would only by a page if it had it's own artist merits, i.e. it looked good up on the wall. I wouldn't buy a page just for the sake of owning art by a particular artist or of a particular character.
So as a result I passed on buying any art from my favourite ever comic, The Watchmen, because all that was available was boring shots of talking heads. No action or splash images! Pages I nearly bought for £30 can now go for up to £10,000 on e-bay!
Was this from Comic Showcase?
Yes, it was at Comics Showcase. Got my Bad Company, ABC Warriors cover and Axel Pressbutton pieces from there as well.
Most of the other pages I got from walking up to the artists at UKCAC events and asking what they had available.

Superb pages.
Yep, I also bought a couple of McMahon pages at a UKCAC. £20 a page, it's still written on the back. I only had £40 on me.
I used to love comic Showcase. I tell this story a lot but I remember they had pages of Slaine Sky Chariots in there for £60 on sale in 1993 :-(
Ha! I love the fact you can go for a Bad Company cover but have to 'settle' for that absolute classic McMahon cover. Really can't think of many more iconic 2000ad covers that don't feature Dredd!
A stunning collection of pages; well done and welcome!
Stunning iconic pages, Sean Harry.
Wish I'd had your foresight as a teenager.
Dunk!
Stunning pages (particularly the Bad Company stuff, given my monomaniacal interest in the series), and the price tags make me weep. I mean, I was buying pages of 'The Dead Man' for 15 quid many years ago, but Bad Co. pages for £20 (when they go for about 15 times that nowadays - and to be honest, that still seems pretty reasonable)? I need to borrow Dale's time machine...
Can you hear a grinding sound, Sean? It's my teeth gnashing with jealousy :lol: That is a fabulous collection. Welcome to the most bonkers thread on the forum where grown men and women pay stupidly vast sums of cash for bits of paper with scribbles on! We are still waiting for the first person here to swap their left arm for a piece, but it's coming... :)
Lord knows what your collection is worth now, but you could probably retire to a small Caribbean island if you have several Brian Bollands you bought for £10 each at a comic con in 1985!
If you haven't got a Comic Art Fans page, get one and share it as you have some super stuff.
Anyway, the postman dropped off some nice bundles for me today from Mr Marshall, Mr Gallagher and Mr Davidson. I shall post them on here later, but I'm happier than a pig in Chardonnay!

I remember when Forbidden Planet in Tottenham Court Road started flogging Bolland stuff. Even back in the 80's the price was around £1,000. As was the Moebius stuff that they had on sale.
But I'm still sick that I passed up Watchmen pages at £30 a pop because only 'dull' pages were available. (A friend of mine got the page of the Comedian riding on the front of the Owlship, lucky sod).

PS- welcome Seanharry!
Some absolutely fabulous pages there..Seanharry....
Get yourself a CAF page and get them up there.............and Welcome to the forum...
I suppose a lot of us 'wish' we could go back, and get the pages that we had a chance to buy, but didn't...
I had the opportunity to buy several great pieces at a Comic Shop in Covent Garden in the very early 90's....Managed to get two pieces I loved, but I had very little money at the time, so unfortunately had to let the others go.....
I remember there was a Brian Bolland piece going for £300..........but that was way out of my price range then...
Cheers
Yep, even then there was a lot of stuff that would have been completely out of my price range. A small crumb of comfort. But its nice to hear tales of the Comic Showcase, and Forbidden Planet when they was selling art.
Great pages
seanharry, hard to pin down which ones i like best, but those Bad Company pages, and that McMahon cover are super sweet. :thumbsup:

A few of my pages still have the original pencilled price tag on them.
£15, and £20......
That aint what i paid, :(
Glad to hear people remembering Comics Showcase. I have many happy memories of that store.
For getting artwork of great British artists, it couldn't be beat. And I loved the way that they had it all on display at the back of the store; so if you couldn't afford it, you could still enjoy it like at an art gallery.
I once notice a guy buying his comics there, and recognised him as Bryan Talbot. When I approached him, he pulled out his portfolio, and gave me a special preview of volume 2 of Luther Arkright, letting me look at the pencils for the first 10 pages of the graphic novel.

Was Comics Showcase once flooded out, and a lot of original art was ruined?
Seemed to recall hearing that, though i may be mis-remembering.
Also that the owner, if he didnt think youd appreciate the art, he wouldnt sell you it! :lol:
Ill have to dig out the old links for the place, if i can find 'em.

A lovely page! :-) You now have a Hicklenton too! :P
Were Purity and the warlock lovers?
Great page! The notion that Purity was going down on Nemesis in that scene didn't occur to me till now. Dirty Johnny (and dirty Pat.) As for whether the two were lovers (er, Nemesis and Purity, not Pat and Johnny!) - it's certainly strongly implied at times but never made explicit.

I'm (lazily) not gonna go looking for any references in the comics to back this statement up, but; to me (as a teenager) I thought it was made quite explicit that they were shagging.
PS- nice one Mark.

You're probably right - Purity certainly spends a lot of time getting all mopey about whether Nemesis cares for her, and both Torquemada and Candy make plenty of comments about her "having truck" with a deviant, at which she gets very offended. (Ro-Jaws's advice: "You keep on trucking.")
I'd agree here; although never explicitly stated that 'we're having sex' it does seem clear from about Bk 7(?) that their relationship is a sexual one.
Congrats hippynumber1! Welcome to the JH club (about time! :D)
Fantastic page, even more fantastic to see more uncensored sexy action :lol:

You are learning grasshopper!
So many great pages posted lately... :)
Colin - you've got a bloody great handful of wonderful Red Seas art there; those are some GREAT pages and make me want to re-read Red Seas in its entirety as soon as possible. Great stuff!
Sean - as plenty of people have already mentioned, that's a superb collection of artwork - some real gems there. Never mind the price (or the tears and wailing as people come to terms with past prices) look at the quality! Hard to choose my favourites from these, but the Strontium Dog and Cam Rogue Trooper pages are maybe top of the heap. The Bad Co. pages are wonderful as well... I'd hate to think how much you'd have to shell out for all those these days. Ouch.
Great to see more art here, as always! Keep 'em coming!

I was just about to reply and tell you... Luckily I caught myself in time. You little devil you... :)
Next up is Paul Davidson and a page from his marvellous recent Dredd storyline "Suicide Watch". I particularly like the Jinn... I also think this pags works beautifully as it is - no colour, no greyscale - just gorgeous pen work.
The campaign for old school B&W Dredd begins here...

Thanks to Link for setting me on the right path to acquiring this piece.
Moving swiftly onwards to the super-talented Leigh Gallagher and a page from Day Of Chaos
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/GallagherDreddDoC_zps0644c965.jpg)
Last, but not least, the sketch I asked Leigh to do. It's come out really well, and I'm super-pleased with it.

Something i found at the back of the cupboard ;)

I know I'm going to get a kicking for this but I've never been a fan of Mr. Robinson's work - that, however, is lovely...
have always thought that this was by Brian Bolland.
So much great artwork over the last few days!
Amazing stuff guys!
I am particularly fond of the McMahon Deadlock cover....
Love the Cliff cover Dale, I agree with Skullmo that it is very Bolland-esque, which is obviously no bad thing!

Yeah, lovely art and very nice prices... I'll pass, but it's tempting.
Quote from: Judge Jack on 11 July, 2013, 10:19:36 AM
You my friend, are a bona fide art addict! Congrats on snagging your recent haul - good stuff!
And regarding your DoC page its from Prog 1762 - DoC:The Assassination List Part 4.
Rubbish. I can stop anytime I like. Anytime... No, you're right, I can't... I am addicted :)
Thanks for the Prog info. I can upload that page to CAF now!
Aye, those Insurrection pages are summat else. I can imagine those taking an age to draw.
Superb stuff, and the other pages are pretty darn good, as well.
Very tempting indeed.
But ill have to see if another piece is gonna be heading my way, before i can think about owt else, though.
Here's a question. I bought these Durham Red pages by Modesty Blaise artist Enrique Badia Romero for £160 each but they arrived damaged (two vertical creases), which is a real shame because the pages are lovely. What are they worth now? How much would you pay for them? I've put one up for sale at £140 (http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/?choice=MISC&gallery=&page=gallery2), in case anyone wants to vote with their wallet.

Wouldnt those creases smooth out, Wake?
Im pretty sure they would - but the best way to go about it, im not sure.
Ive had a couple of pieces arrive from the States, that had become slightly creased in transit, and those ironed out fine - cloth over the iron, of course!
Or use some kind of press to straighten them out?
I was going to bid on that second one myself but hadn't got the cash available; kind of glad I didn't looking at those creases. Were they done during transit by whichever postal service? I don't recall the seller mentioning the creases in the listing...
The creases don't look too bad and as Iain said, they'd probably flatten out (especially if framed). Only a slight dip in value (if any), I guess.

They were done in transit. When shipping artwork in a corrugated cardboard sandwich, make sure that you have at least one sheet with the grain going the other way.
I think they should smooth out a little more with careful ironing, but I'm not sure they'll ever be invisible.
Cam sent me a few pages a few years ago (including that Warlord cover) - sandwiched in a single layer of cardboard and shipped internationally... Luckily there were no creases but seeing the flimsy packing gave me palpitations. Cam's packaging these days is bombproof, though (took me ages to get into the last package he sent).
Romero's artwork is gorgeous. If Ezquerra isn't available, he makes a damn fine replacement on Durham Red.
I'm sure that those creases would go after a while in a frame?
I would imagine as they are B/W inked pages that a gentle ironing on the reverse side of the artwork should see them recover....
From the pieces shown, it looks as if you have an inch or so at the top and the bottom, that you can 'test' without damaging the art....
Good luck......Lovely pages as well !!
Cheers.
Wasn't quite sure where to put this so I'll try here.

Great Stuff
Colin_YNWA....
I take it you are 'really pleased' with your artwork !!!....Not that it's
at all obvious...... :lol:
Good article though ...Really enjoyed your reasons why you loved it so much !!
Cheers..
I enjoyed your blog post, Colin. We are all different - we all like different artists and different stories. Some people don't like Leigh Gallagher and his work on Defoe... Still, they aren't chasing his work and I am, so leaves more for me!
As a relative newbie, I haven't really come across Yeowell very much. That piece you reviewed doesn't inspire me to look much further (it's the while space, there is no white space in life and I can't see past it in comic art - it just bugs me...). But fair play to you for writing your piece and showing your passion.
At the end of the day it's your money and your collection. No-one can ever be "wrong" in the art they like (except if you don't like Leigh Gallagher, because people who don't are SO wrong about that :D)
Some beautiful work from a Mr Richard Elson:
(http://i.imgur.com/HGRaKNy.jpg?1)
Elson gives good Kano, right enough. I saw that for sale - wasn't sure if it had appeared anywhere in print, but I notice you've got a colour version on your CAF site. Was it used somewhere in the prog or a collection?
I was 'speaking' to Richard in the week; I thought I remembered seeing it in colour but couldn't remember where - he did it as part of the 2000AD 30th Anniversary celebration so appeared in the prog sometime around March 2007 and recoloured for the Brett Ewins tribute. He's sending me the other colour files so I'll be adding those to CAF when they arrive.

Ah, cheers for that - that's why I couldn't place it, 'cos I had a gap in my prog-reading in the mid-late 00s. Great piece - he gives Kano a wonderful solidity.
You can't beat a bit of Mr Elson. A fine piece of squiggling...
A lovely piece of Kano, Mark.....
A very 'physical' piece...
And the secret's obviously out as the box is open..... :lol:......Just a really amazing piece of art....
I'm actually coming to really like Black and White artwork the more I see of it here .....And I've always preferred Colour before...
That piece is brilliant.....and your recent Defoe DP spread by Leigh Gallagher, still takes my breath away !!....I always have a quick look at it whenever I'm over on CAF.....
Great stuff..

That was a fantastic logo design.
Did you have it a while Dale, or a new purchase?

Super excited to bag this piece. A very early Richard Elson painting. I'm not sure how much Rich actually painted, but it wasn't a lot.
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/image_zps605bb9be.jpg)
That's a very lovely piece SimeonB........
I would say you are a 'full blown art collecting addict' now !!... :D
Instead of 'sharp' angles everywhere, it's full of curved lines....and the perspective is brilliant...I really like it !!.....and Dredds' 'scowl' is spot on....
May be a bit of criticism coming about his helmet though.......Its a 'bit flared' at the bottom..... :lol:
A great piece.......Any idea when it was painted ???...Late 80's ??...( Mk 1 Lawgiver ) ... Is it a published piece or a commission ??
Cheers...
I love this piece; it was definitely published (prog 609) and the flared helmet is a loving homage to Brendan McCarthy - don't knock it! ;)
Cheers Bob and Hipster. Yeah, fully addicted alright! Just about keeping my head above the financial water!
Rich produced this sometime in 1988, not long after his first Future Shock for the Prog. It wasn't commissioned, he just drew it and sent it to Richard Burton (the then editor of 2000 AD). Mr Burton asked him to colour it, so it could be used as a back cover and it graced the back of Prog 609. It was used again later as a cover for a Fleetway Judge Dredd in 1991 (number 58). It is painted with acrylics. Thanks to Dale and Mr Elson himself for all this information. When I put it on CAF, I will be sure to include it.
It really is a joy to behold. I'm a sucker for the Lawmaster and I also love the perspective of the piece. Thanks for your interest, Bob, I have a few more bits and pieces to upload to CAF of Mr Elson's work when I get home tonight.
Rich Elson for me is the 2000ad artist who has developed most out them all. Still knowing pictures like this and his work on Shadows are done by him I just can't connect them to the artist I see now. Not that either style is bad, just don't see a connection, can't follow the development.
An artist like say Simon Colbey has changed loads but you can see the progress and I can relate an early piece to his current work. With Rich Elson just not the case I find it had to believe (though I don't of course doubt) they are done by the same person.
I remember someone here saying he worked on Sonic Comic for a long time, which might go some way to explaining the change.;
Rich did a very open and frank interview with Molch-R in Megazine 285 where he was honest about how his work changed. He seems to have had a few direction changes during his career, and has tried a number of new ways of drawing to try and improve himself. I will post a Blindside Dredd he drew by hand for the Prog a bit later on today. It wasn't long after that he decided to convert to digital to get his mojo back.
He did indeed draw Sonic for a number of years, often teaming up with Nigel Kitching. Mick McMahon was also a Sonic artist. In fact, on the back of one of my pieces he has sketched a Sonic out. Not sure if he was doodling or trying something new! I will photograph it and post it later when I get home.
at last I can contribute to this thread! There's no way I could afford to be a collector, so the only page of original art I own is a rather nice Elson Dredd from the Hi-Ex charity auction - pic on old thread here: http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,35598.msg666884.html#msg666884 (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,35598.msg666884.html#msg666884)

A very nice piece
DDD.....
As
SimeonB says it's not all about £500+ pieces.....It's about what each piece means to you and there is a lot of very good artwork out there at very reasonable prices.....Only thing about collecting artwork, and its' been said on here before.... ( Stay focused on what you like )......It's easy to get distracted..
Check out
Hippynumber1's ebay stuff by John Cooper....some very nice pieces there and very reasonable as well......
And just to show you what you can get ( Thanks to
SimeonB again, for alerting me to this )....I got this wonderful
Henry Flint Mongrol sketch for
£14...!!.....And I love it.....
I am planning to get this framed together with my
Bob Molesworth Mongrol commission ( both in one frame ) so there'll be a B/W and a colour side by side.....
Cheers

Mark - and a complete story to boot! Good stuff.
Well, I have lurked around this thread for a while but not really had anything to add. Then Dale decided to put some more stuff on ebay, and I decided to buy my first orginal art piece:
(http://i1334.photobucket.com/albums/w653/Recrewt/Rogue_zpse9ac91ea.jpg)
Rogue Trooper painted by John Burns 2000ad 850 pg 14. This page is a photocopy of simon Coleby inks artwork, it was then painted over by John Burns (the colourist, not the artist who has been doing SinDex recently - thanks to Dale for that clarification).
Not as impressive as some items we have seen here recently but I love it and the colours are really vivid. I think this would look good on the wall.
Very nice Recrewt.
And I was a fan of Colbey even back then too!
Boy, that Coleby droid really came good, didn't he. No offence to your fine piece Recrewt but he has to be one of the most improved artists ever.
"John Burns (the colourist)" – guess that's the fella who coloured some of the 2000AD Eagle reprints. Don't think I knew there was two of 'em.
Welcome to the newest original artwork recruit, Recrewt (I thank you :) ). Make sure you get yourself a CAF page and display you new art proudly! Plenty of lovely, experienced people on this thread helped me out when I got started. Best tip was given to me by Judge Jack which was to invest in some art folders in order to store your work in the best condition.

Anyway, getting back to original art - here's my new Apocalypse War DPS.

Nice, innit..
Stop it ;)
Judge Jack's right; most artists seem to use water based inks, at least for large areas of black, and that stuff's unstable even if it's locked in a drawer and coated with some kind of UV-proof art stop. If you've been spending the good weather watching the late evening sun crawl across your dining room wall and illuminate a treasured page of framed art, you've been watching the slow destruction of something you love.
Paint's the same, even acrylic and even if sprayed with art stop; no gallery in the world displays any painting in even indirect natural light, and certainly not 24 hours a day. If you want something for public display, do what museums do and have a reproduction done on good quality paper, and save appreciating the original for when you take it out of its folder. Wonks you have round for dinner won't know the difference - I had one of Tom Frame's prints of Bolland's Dark Judges cover stuck to my wall with blu-tac and folk used to think it was the original.
I know the above makes me no fun at all, but if you've bought a page of published art which others value, you're not its owner, you're its custodian.
And while it's in my custody it's staying on the wall where I can enjoy it! And trust me when I say no sunlight touches my walls...
Didnt know you had a Fiends of the Eastern Front page, ;)
custodian? I should probably take chopper out a frame i found in the street then...
Blimey, seems like I tipped a load of controversy all over this thread! :o
I guess I meant that if you start to collect a few more pieces, then a proper art folder is better than stacking them one of top of the other is a drawer somewhere. I probably should have made that a bit clearer :D
Still, don't let me stop a good ruckus!
BTW, my Ron Smith is framed and on my wall. The rest are safely tucked away in folders. In a few months, I shall choose another one of my collection, frame it, take down the Ron Smith and display something new. A nice compromise between the devils of light bleaching and enjoyment of your art. Although I get the folders out quite a lot to have a good flick through...

Thanks for the comments folks and I can assure you that the intention is for Rogue to be on the wall. I am quite lucky in that I have a room with no windows (not the toilet ;) - some strange extension) so I can hang something in there and guarantee virtually no sunlight damage.
I appreciate the tip though SimeonB and as you say, if I continue with more art in the future then I could end up with more than I can display at once. Out of interest - which art folders did you go with?
SuperSurfer - no offence mate, I know what you mean about Simon Coleby. According to Dale the John Burns colourist is actually the nephew of the artist. I did some googling and I think he has worked on transformers and sonic as well as tooth but it starts getting confusing as the info out there keeps confusing the two.
I truly love my small art collection and have them all framed and hung on the walls in my guitar room........( Where I practice guitar ) ......
The very first 2 pieces I bought was in 1993 ( Sean Phillips ....Devlin Waugh ) have been framed since I got them, and have suffered no 'visible' damage as far as I can see......
I took them all out of the frames when I went to a Forbidden Planet 'signing' in Edinburgh recently( FCBD), and Sean Phillips kindly signed all the borders of them for me....( Best Wishes, Sean Phillips ) .....and I was astonished at how vibrant they were when removed from behind the glass.....( 2 of the pieces are 20 years old and the other 3 are 15 years old ).....The glass offers some kind of protection, I suppose....
Admittedly, they are not ever in direct sunlight, and are always behind glass, but they are always on display....
That's why I bought them in the first place........to look at and admire, ( daily ), and it always makes me smile when I look at them.....
Each to their own I suppose, but why have them 'hidden away' in folders...???...Even if you do look at them often...
I feel the same way about my guitars....I've got a Gibson Les Paul Antique Classic and a Rory Gallagher Fender Stratocaster Custom shop replica, and play them both as often as I can........Why have them and not play them ??....
They are made to be played, so don't hide them away....That's a bit 'spinal tap'............" Don't touch it,, don't even look at it !!! "......Pfft !!
For me, it's the same with artwork......It's there to be looked at !!.....With a 'little care' they'll be fine.....Get them framed and on display..... :D
Cheers...
Recrewt - I got some A4 and A3 books with plastic slips inside to store the smaller pieces and an A2 art folder with plastic inserts for the larger stuff. You can get them at any good art store or some of the bigger chain shops like The Range or Hobbycraft. Loads of choice online too but quality varies which is why I bought mine at a local shop.
Bob - yep what works for one won't work for the next. Galleries around the world have more art than they can hang and bring it out for exhibitions and its not uncommon for private art collectors to do the same. I'm thinking of theming my displays, so having a Dredd display or a Paul Marshall or whatever. I like to change the art in my office at home around a bit to keep it fresh and interesting.
Talking of your stuff, is your Flint Mongrel in his frame yet? :) I hope he's not at the back of a drawer somewhere ;)
SimeonB...
I wasn't having a 'dig' at anyone.....Honest..... :D
My art collection isn't big enough to change around much, ( I wish it was ).....and is limited to only one room in the house as the Mrs can't stand it !!!....." Comic book nonsense apparently "....
Anyway, my Bob Molesworth Mongrol commission and the Henry Flint Mongrol piece, are at the 'framers' and I get them back this Thursday, & will post a quick photo then......I'm getting them both together in the one frame, as I thought it would look more interesting that way....Side by side...two views of the same character sort of thing !!....
Cheers...
Just make sure the artwork is out of sunlight, it's framed properly (art not touching the glass and on acid free backing) and not in a humid room - it'll be fine.
If you think comic art is something to worry about degrading, try collecting animation cels! They'd break your heart. I really can't bring myself to display any on the walls as the trace lines (photocopied onto acetate) vanish incredibly easy. Have bought a few on ebay over the years where the trace line fade wasn't visible in the auction.
When I got the cel in my hands, someone clearly had it on the wall for years - no trace lines and the image basically looks like a load of coloured mud :( - completely destroyed piece of art.
Actually it only happened to me recently enough. Got a full refund, but it still doesn't take away from the horror of seeing art destroyed. :(

o1s1n..............Mine's is 15 - 20 years old and still undamaged....Get it framed and 'on display'........
Sorry to hear about your cel artwork deteriorating like that........I didn't know it was as 'fragile' as that...... :'(
Is there no 'uv protected / resistant' glass that is available, so that Cels can be displayed ???.....If not, then an art folder is the only way in that case....

If art is done in markers it will fade whether you have it in light or not :-(

Aye, some stuff I did years ago which has never seen the light of day for more than a few minutes since is still turning brown. Everything fades a little, but sunlight's a definite aggravator - I'm not sure if having art behind glass makes an awful lot of difference, since the light hitting it has already been refracted through the glass of your home's windows at least once before reaching the art anyway.
Glass doesn't stop UV damage to skin (http://www.epa.gov/sunwise/doc/uvradiation.html), so it seems doubtful that it would perform that function for other organic material, such as paper and ink. You've seen what happens to a newspaper left in a room over days or months, or the different yellowing of paintwork which catches the sun compared to paint on a surface in a more shaded area of the room; same applies to art. Indirect sunlight doesn't work as quickly, but it has the same effect.
Can anyone recommend a good framer either online or in the Wimbledon or Guildford areas? I have a piece that is 105cm x 29.7cm so need to get a custom frame built. Looking online I can probably get something for around £70 but when I popped into a framing shop yesterday I was getting quotes of around £150 min. Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Next someone will come along and say they store their comics in sealed bags. Whatever next.

Yeah I did look into UV protective glass a few years back, it works to a degree, but won't stop the fading 100%. I keep them all in acid free bags (open at one end to let the gasses circulate) and in Itoya A4 art folders. The Itoya folders are great, the only down side to them is you can't get them over here - only in the US! So they get a bit expensive with the postage on top. Definitely worth the investment though.
Just on the note of gasses, for those with framed artwork, it's good to 'air them out' now and again. Open it up and let gasses out.

It's awful alright isn't it? The top panel in my first JH page has almost totally vanished. I think it was a combination of felt tip marker and water based ink.
Other pages aren't as bad thankfully :)

Older pieces can suffer terribly from this - there's some heartbreaking examples, over on CAF, of 2000ad stuff, along with some Marvel stuff, etc..
Whether Markers used now are still prone to fading, i dont know.

This nice Australian lady art curator (http://artcareinc.com/Protecting_Art_From_UV_Light.html) goes into great detail about the best ways of protecting your art from Apollo's withering gaze. Here's the highlights:
"
PROTECTING ARTWORK FROM ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT, by Laura Stirton Aust, ARTcare
Light is an unavoidable hazard to art materials, especially paper. Light causes weakening and discoloration of paper fibers. It also causes many dyes and pigments to fade or change in colour. The damage from light is not reversible. Decreasing exposure to all light is a significant concern, and most museums filter UV from light sources and reduce light exposure by limiting the number of hours art is illuminated. Works of art on paper should be stored in darkness with exhibition not to exceed six weeks every two years.
FILMS AND WINDOW COVERINGS: The primary source of ultraviolet radiation is sunlight. Window films and some coverings provide UV filtering without blocking substantial visible light. UV filtering of sunlight will help to safeguard prints, furnishings and textiles while also reducing the heat entering a window.
PROTECTING ARTWORK IN THE FRAME: Glazing is the protective covering used in framing artwork. The two most common glazing materials are glass and plastic. Glass is rigid and not easily scratched, but it is heavy and breakable. Plastic is light weight and less breakable than glass, but it is easily scratched and as the plastic ages it may take on a gray or yellow cast.
FLUORESCENT BULB SLEEVES: Fluorescent light contains less UV than sunlight though the UV output is still significant. Since light damage is cumulative it takes only a few weeks for fluorescent light to damage art. But, if fluorescent light is filtered there is much less danger.
Sometimes I am asked if it is necessary to use all these methods to filter UV. Having seen paper burned by the sun in only a few days I can not over emphasize the dangers of UV. A newspaper left on a window sill for a week provides a graphic example of the damaging effects of sunlight. I believe in using multiple defenses. Don't wait for light to damage your artwork. Avoid illuminating pieces whenever possible and do all that you can to reduce UV from the sources that light your artworks."

Special mention goes out to Mr Meaden - you sir, are a star!
My gob is smacked :o Fabulous page. Many congratulations.
A real beauty!
That's a fantastic page. Carlos contributed so much to those first 500 or so issues. There's the obvious lost-Dredd hiatus in the first 75 issues before the Starlord merger brought him back, but his Strontium Dog, followed by his brief stint on ABC Warriors, then Fiends of the Eastern Front, followed by The Stainless Steel Rat (the novels were already a favourite by that time), then a semi-permanent Stront residency interrupted only by the frickin' Apocalypse War...
Unquestionably, one of 2000AD's defining artists.
Cheers!
Jim
Lovely vintage page there Iain...I'm very jealously impressed happy for you.
A fabulous very early Carlos page.....
Just wonderful !!....The detail is amazing !!
And like Mr Prime,....I'm so envious pleased for you.... :lol:
Cheers
Just thought I'd post my ( now ) framed Mongrol pieces............Just got them back from 'framers' today, so they'll be going up on the wall ASAP.... :D
I've had both pieces put together in the same frame for a compare / contrast 'sort of thing'....
Please excuse 'bendy' looking top of frame...it's not .........I'm just a crap photographer !!...

A gorgeous couple of pieces there!
Bob - they look cracking framed, and a great idea to have them done together.
Skullmo - where did you find that beauty? Love the mad architecture in the right-hand panel.
Here's my offering for today. The last page ever drawn by Rich Elson before he went entirely digital - so a little bit of history...
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/image_zpsb60a1bc5.jpg)
Thanks for the kind words guys, and I'm really pleased how the framing turned out ...
Skullmo....That's a great piece, and as SimeonB says " a mad bit of architecture as well !!..
Great stuff though.....That piece must be about 25 - 30 years old ???
SimeonB ....another cracking piece.....I've been over on CAF again, and you seem to have amassed an incredible amount of really great artwork in ( what seems ) a very short period of time......Need to let us all into your secret as you still claim to have all kidneys remaining..... :lol:
Absolutely loving your Leigh Gallagher stuff btw....
I've been stalking watching Hippynumber1's Defoe DPS and am so impressed I am now saving to try and get a commission myself....
Cheers
WOW, fantastic pieces here! JJ awesome stuff, top drawer (and you are welcome sir!) Skullmo, really nice, classy stuff. As Jim said, Carlos, one of the Galaxy's Greatest........Nice modern touch from Simeon and Bob, what can I say, they look sensational framed, very impressive. Thanks for sharing these guys, brilliant stuff!!! :o
Yeah, all kidneys present and correct, Bob! My secret is quite simple - I buy modern pieces. The majority of my collection cost £40 per page or less. I'm not saying £40 is a small amount of money, but compared to older pieces from popular artists, it is a cheaper way to collect.
I'm funding it by working my way through my loft and cupboards getting rid of years of collected toys, LPs, DVDs and all sorts of stuff via eBay and the classifieds. Met some lovely people who collect old car brochures, Transformers, Action Man, Star Wars toys, Corgi toy cars and all sorts of other 'collectables' that have hung around my place and I need to get rid of. I was surprised at just how much some of it is worth! The cash is recycled into squiggles on paper!
I can really recommend having a clear out. I've got loads more room, the place is tidier and I get a few quid to spend on my new passion...

It's compulsory for someone to say this every time someone posts some relatively recent Elson - I can't believe that's the same guy who produced the very delicate pastel shades of
Shadows (http://www.2000ad.org/covers/2000ad/hires/676.jpg). I'm looking forward to my first taste of
Kingdom in a few weeks time.

Yes, Ezquerra's art never ages because it is magical!
This thread moves too fast to keep up with!
Jacob- where are you getting those Ezquerra ABC's from? They're brilliant.
Simeon- nice Elson!
Bob- nicely framed pieces!
I found them behind my radiator. I have them there to keep thrillsuckers from getting through the wall.

Radiator or if you're more cautious than Johnny Tightlips!
Yep, you're off for a couple of days and then there is a burst of new stuff on here. Some impressive art there folks that I could only dream of owning.
Bob, nice to see those Mongrols now they have been framed - you must be well please with those.
Oh, btw Skullmo - thrillsuckers come through the windows not the walls! ::)
Thanks for the kind words, guys...
Yes I am absolutely delighted with the way the framing has seemed to 'enhance' the artwork.......Benefit of knowing a good framer locally I suppose...
Anyway thanks again, picture is now 'hung' on wall, ( despite possible deterioration over the rest of my lifetime...... :lol: ) and the 'big fella' is pretty happy with his likenesses !!!

Love the Ezquerra pages, Skullmo, and the Hicklenton is passable I guess :D
The big fella looks extremely happy with his new pictures, Bob! Nice to see them up on your wall.
Please feel free to laugh and point, as I know nothing about Nemesis, but o1s1n is that Deadlock after the Nemesis picture you put up? Anyway, whoever it is it's a cracking picture!
And if we all say "Dale Grail" three times, will it magically appear?

I do remember reading that it has a slightly greenish tint to it. So would be worth buying a small tester bit first just to see if you're happy with the results. :)

It belongs to my brother Alastair, and has been part of his collection since he started collecting and was one of the first pieces he ever bought, and what a cracker it is........It's NEVER going to be for Sale and is his favourite out of all the many pieces he has.......
It's the wrap around cover for the 2000AD Judge Dredd Mega Special from 1992 by Titan Books.......
It was painted ( in acrylics ) by the amazing Sean Phillips in 1991 .
Hope you like it !!!!

Brilliant!
Gotta get me a Sean Phillips one day! Cracking stuff Bob...

Well worth the wait, Dale (for you and for us). Legendary, landmark pages.
Nice Sean Philips cover ...
Found these 2 pages of Nemesis by Mr Talbot... which i might split ... ;)

Nnnnoooooooooo...
Oh, dear lord. I think there needs to be a separate entry in the dictionary for Dale's use of the word "found". Fantastic pages - I've always liked the way that whilst a giant dinosaur breathes fire at men with lava cannons, and two extra-terrestrial demons discuss destroying Earth, Torquemada's biggest concern is the threat to family values.
Dale, your collection is quietly eclipsing Rufus' for the one I most envy.
Stonking green-eye inducing pieces there.

Thanks Dunk ... Here is my last piece this month ( i fucking hope so , my cash is nearly gone and the delorean flux is broken lol ).

That last one is the best one - very early (1979!) Brett Ewins / Brendan McCarthy genius. I love the bit where Doc Panic's antennae stand up. Ewins's design sense is absolutely peerless - you could imagine Doc Panic as a Bad Company member.
Anyone looking for a Bisley commission? He is only doing headshots, and they are $200 but if you have such a desire let me know and I'll pass on the details.
Errrm, yes! :o

A very lovely page, that
Dale. :thumbsup:
Ok guys, now here's another 'cracker' that belongs to my brother Alastair......
This one's also about 15 years old ( I think )........I asked him for details on it, but he couldn't be 'arsed' to go look it up to find out........It's NEVER going to be for Sale so he said "what's the point"....
I'm only including it here so you can all have a look and see what you think....
As far as I'm aware there is not a great deal of his painted ( acrylic ) artwork around and this one is by the wonderful.....Jason Brashill....
A massive interior page....about 15" wide x 21" high.......and framed exactly as it was portrayed in the programme......
Enjoy.....
(http://i1367.photobucket.com/albums/r800/robert_mcgregor1/JasonBrashillJudgeDredd_zpse15254a9.jpg) (http://s1367.photobucket.com/user/robert_mcgregor1/media/JasonBrashillJudgeDredd_zpse15254a9.jpg.html)
Please excuse the 'camera flash / effect in the bottom left hand corner....Looks like 'smoke' but just reflection....
Cheers
Hope you guys all enjoyed the Jason Brashill page....
Here is another of my brother Alastairs' pieces......This one is also NOT for sale, as it's another of his favourites.......
This was bought along with most of the others from the Neal Street Comic shop in Covent Garden in London.....Sadly no longer there.....
This is a very 'early' Carlos Ezquerra sketch....( about 15 - 20 years old I think ).......
It's an Apocalypse War Cover 'planning' sketch by Carlos......Unfortunately it didn't make the selection, but still a great piece of early Carlos.....
Enjoy....

Nice to see that Apoc War prelim,
Bob. Good stuff! (not for sale, is it? ;))
And i seems to recall somebody else on here saying they had one of these, but cant recall who it was.
Anyway, im lucky enough to own two Apoc War Titan book cover prelims by
King Carlos. Roughly dating from '84ish, i think

Thanks Judge Jack,
No, sorry it's DEFO Not for sale.......If it was mine, it wouldn't be for sale either....I love it... :D..
That's a couple of brilliant prelim / planning sketches by Carlos you've got there as well....I like them a lot !!
It's actually quite strange, that originally when I started collecting, ( my first two pieces were in full colour ), I didn't consider that I would even be 'interested' in Black and White pieces........
But........since seeing a lot of the Black and White stuff on here, I've changed my mind and will ( hopefully ) get a couple when I've enough cash.....
I love my Henry Flint Mongrol sketch in B/W, but especially after seeing SimeonB and Hippynumber1s' Leigh Gallagher Defoe pieces I'm really sorely tempted....
Unfortunately, another different piece always comes up that catches your eye....and I've got my eye on two others at the moment.......More later if they come through...
Cheers

Just send the original artwork to me, I will get it scanned for you and then send it back.

If you go to the

How do you download Photos to a thread...Question asked by Sideshow Bob ( that's me ) .... I struggled a bit to do this initially, but some great tips on how to do it there...Basically open a Photobucket account ( it's free ) and it's a 'doddle' from there....

Funnily enough I get a lot of Gibson, particularly the inking around the face.
With a hint of McMahon in the Eagle...
As some of you already know, I'm chasing the full Mr Macabre story drawn by our Massimo but I'm missing pages 1, 2 and 6. Well, I've found page 6 but the owner will only swap for something from the period he was reading 2000AD (prog 150 - 600 approx.) and that he remembers. Any character, any artist but preferably Massimo.
I'm looking at spending £120 tops. Has anyone got anything from that period, at that price, that they're willing to sell/trade so I can take one step closer to my goal? Please...
A few pages on eBay may fit the bill...

and just for interest , i do sell some of these pages .... not all , its always worth a punt .

That's glorious, Dale - don't know how you could bear to part with that one. Really nice to see it in B&W... Going to a good home, though (not mine, unfortunately).
It's a stunner, isn't it! :o

I mean christ in what other collection is a Nemesis Cover by Kev O'Neill and one quite as wonderful as that, not the pinnacle!

The
last Kevin O'Neill Nemesis cover, at that (although there is a later Torquemada, isn't there?). A fabulous sight to see, I really don't think I could bear to part with that.
This arrived today from the awesome Leigh Gallagher. The page from Defoe that features me. :D

On that Nemesis O'Neill piece, there are not many times in my life when I have felt it would be justifiable to kiss a man but having this was one of them. Thanks Dale ( no tongues)!
You're one lucky SOB Malak.

Oh nice page Albion
and lovely Cliff page Mr B ...
Leigh Gallagher's work is hitting the heights on Defoe isn't it? I have an old swamp thing tryout he did, detail is incredible, but this stuff just knocks the air out of you, ......very impressive page.

Leigh had a charity raffle on his blog and the prize was to be drawn into a panel of Defoe. As well as sending the original page he also sent a signed copy of the Prog it was in. Top bloke as well as a great artist. :D

You spend a day away from this forum thread and all hell breaks loose!
So...
Is it my turn now?
Yes, get on with it! :lol:
OK. Those who you that are vaguely aware of my posts may know me as a Shakara fan. A BIG Shakara fan... And I've been after a page for ages, but they just aren't about. And those that have them, don't want to let them go. Why? Because they are brilliant, that's why. Henry Flint madness and Robbie Morrison genius!
So it was my grail to get a page - any page - featuring Shakara...
Now imagine how I'm feeling right now to bag this pivotal page from Book 2. I could cry. I literally am shaking typing this now...

I own a Shakara page. It's mine...
Thank you for listening. It's been emotional...
Oh - and there's more. These two sketches which formed part of the cover of the first TPB reflected in Shakara's eyes:

That brilliant, SimeonB......
I'm really pleased that you've managed to get a really great page, and a couple of wonderful sketches of your own 'personal grail piece' as well..........Getting them framed or in the folder ????.......... :lol:
Well done, mate !!........... :D
And many congrats on 'snagging' Page 6 of Mr Macabre, Mark,
Looking forward to seeing it up on the thread soon....
Just Page 1 and 2 to go now..........Good luck !!.....and well done... :D

Lovely Shakara .....
Talking of Grails , i would dearly love to find One of the American reprint covers By Rian Hughes Dare .... they are out there ....
Thanks all! It's a good question about framing, Bob. I shall probably take down my Ron Smith that has been up for a while and replace it with this Shakara page for a bit. Someone has suggested to me the two sketches could be cut down and mounted together, but I am thinking of leaving them uncut on the A4 paper and mounting the side-by-side in a A3 frame.
Decisions, decisions....
Gulp! :o Now personally id never dream of altering/cutting down any art i owned.
Leave as is, would be my recommendation. The A3 framing sounds an eminently better idea.
Yes, I don't want to cut them up either so am just going for the side-by-side mounting...

Yes, I'm with
Judge Jack on this as well
SimeonB.........
Definitely don't 'cut them down'', just leave as is......They will look excellent side by side, and if getting them framed, the border around the sketch will cover up the blank space anyway....
My Henry Flint
Mongrol piece had a lot of free space at top and bottom ( with the sketch book ring binding holes at top ) and when it is framed all that 'extra' is covered up by the mounting board....
Sincere Congrats again on securing a truly fabulous ( and very rare ) page and two really great sketches.......
Cheers
You should colour them in before you frame them, I can lend you some felt tips of you want.
Yeah, you're probably right, Skullmo. That's a good thought. I'll have a think about that...
However, a little bit of DIY framing, and Mr Flint replaces Mr Smith in prime location:

Anyone care to comment on my choice of desk lamps! :D
Newcastle Uni eh!
I remember when this thread used to be about Original Artwork... :)
Is that an Ikea lamp?
Getting this thread back on topic... that's a nice shade of magnolia on the wall. Dulux or Crown?
Interesting....Matt or Eggshell?
It doesn't look magnolia to me -- more of a subtle off-white. Dulux timeless white, perhaps?
Seriously guys! Can we get back to art!
I love the way the page looks in the frame. Tell me, is all that great light being generated by that small lamp, or do you also have a window? If so it would be great to see some pics of it.
Deduction is an art.
Is that a wrist watch underneath your left hand, and if so, does that mean you're right-handed?
With the success of Buttonman's thread on what he ate on holiday there now seems to be a niche for "Through The Keyhole: SimeonB's Study/Office/Storage Facility"...
I am just off out to ride round the empty streets of London on my push bike with 20,000 other people. If I don't expire, I shall answer all of your lovely, interesting questions about this corner of my house...
It's a house you say? Hmmmm, it looks like 3 bedrooms from the jaunty angle of that lamp...
Hmmmm.........
Yes, probably in the Stevenage area as well, I think..... :D
It's the quality of the sunlight that gives it away...
seeing as the new Slaine strip starts this week thought I would share this one with you - its a great piece that I always wanted to get framed - the only issue is the acetate only comes halfway down the page. If it was framed I would lose the great scoll at the top

Wow - I absolutely love this page, and was hoping to snag it one day. Glad to see the original.
I remember liking this so much that I painted my own version when I was 16. Here is my version (please excuse the terrible photograph, it was taken in 2006). Having not seen the real version of it since the 1990s only my version I now imagine it looking like my version :D

I'm assuming you can flip the acetate so that it's behind the paper instead of sitting on top (ISTR it's usually fastened by one edge to make a sort of 'hinge'). That being the case, you could sit a new sheet of acetate over the top and add a recreation of the scroll, giving you a frameable version without having to detach the original acetate.
I don't know if the letterer, Steve Potter, is still with us, but he seems to have fallen off the face of the planet and the font version of his hand lettering is lost to us. I've knocked up a passable imitation — if you want to PM me the physical dimensions of the scroll, I can either email you a printable file or post you a hard copy, which I'll trim down with a scalpel.

Your right - I can flip the acetate so its behind the art
That is very kind of you to make up that scroll- I was going to do something similar but just never got round to it. I'll head to my portfolio tonight and get the dimensions

Axel Pressbutton?
I see an ABC Warriors and a Steve Dillon from 'Beyond the Wall'! That is all...
Looks like a Brett Ewins' Anderson in there, too.
Well spotted, yes there is! I THINK I see a McMahon Dredd there (don't tell Judge Jack)! :o
Oh my giddy aunt a David Lloyd Sontaran from Doctor Who weekly as well if I'm not mistaken. As I recall the one set in Egypt... he did some stunning work on those back up strips.

Some very tasty art there, Dale - especially the Steve Dillon Pressbutton / Laser Eraser stuff. My beady eye also spots a Fabry X-Factor cover in there... And a Moore / Casanovas Future Shock... Oooh.
Zirk!
a Steve Dillon Axel Pressbutton page - now there is a memory from my mispent youth.........reading comics
Dale, you should get a better camera on your phone. This only looks 3.5 megapixel and no flash!

Yeah, you're probably right, Skullmo. That's a good thought. I'll have a think about that...
However, a little bit of DIY framing, and Mr Flint replaces Mr Smith in prime location:

That is some real prime Dillon. Dont think i ever caught more than a couple of those stories - wasnt they reprinted in Warrior?
Any of these going to be up for grabs, Dale?
I'm actually really interested in that University of Newcastle picture that Simeon had, hopefully he will sell or trade! PM sent.

I thought that Warrior was the original and they were reprinted from Warrior but am willing to be corrected. Cracking stuff at the time along with so much else in those pages. His more recent Marvel stuff feels decidedly inferior compared to his 80's work ( Alone in a Crowd is my all time favourite Dredd standalone and would definitely be a grail piece for me).
Oh furk me, did I spot THIS in Dale's pile? One of my fave covers ever?

True; look how close the edge of the page is to Dredd's badge in Dale's pic compared to the published cover - a cropped stat perhaps?
I thought I would add my companion Greg Staples Slaine piece to the one I posted a few days ago - not quite as striking and iconic as the horned god pose but is just amazing up close

Sneak peak at my latest Mr Macabre page (pg 2) pre-restoration. This includes a temporary fix in loving tribute to our friend Bob - can you spot it?
(http://i.imgur.com/aMjDxHR.jpg?1)
A most Excellent page, Mark..... :D
And thanks for the tribute !!.......
I take it that just leaves 2 pages to complete your storyline ??
Very Best of Luck in your continuing search, and as before, if I find anything you'll be 1st to know ...
At our pre-arranged price of course............No 'wild' profiteering here.... ;)
Cheers
Yup! Just need the first and last page now! :D
Nice one! After searching all the usual avenue's, i love the random way this page came into your possession.
Best of luck with the remaining pages, Mark.
Yes, very interested in knowing how it all came about....
Like to tell us the story, Mark ???..........How it all happened and why Mr Macabre in particular.....
I started my Devlin Waugh collection just by co-incidence more than anything....I had just read Swimming in Blood in the Programme and thought it was magnificent, and absolutely loved the drawing and the character of Devlin Waugh...
I just happened to be visiting my brother in London, stopped at the Comic Shop in Neale Street in Covent Garden and saw 2 pages....Couldn't believe it ( or the price of £300 in 1992 !! ) and just had to buy them and have been hooked ever since...
So, c'mon why Mr Macabre, what started you on this one in particular ??
S'funny! Skullmo asked me this just the other day! I was 15 when this appeared in the Prog and I think was the third or fourth prog I bought after after jumping back on board after a few years absence! I don't know why but for some reason the story really stuck with me not least, I imagine, because of Belardinelli's beautiful artwork.
As far as this page in particular is concerned it's a very serendipitous story - the owner was simply browsing the caf website (he's not a collector, doesn't have a gallery on there and only found the website by chance) when he found my gallery, spotted my pages and got in touch. The rest, as they say...
I hope Artie Gruber doesn't have one of the 2 pages. :lol:
Shhhhhh, we don't talk about 'that' page. I don't want anyone to know where it is...
Serendipity right enough Mark......
Not a collector, but just happened to be browsing......It was like it was meant to be yours !!...Well done, mate.... :D
Cheers
A very sweet Dredd by Brett ... pretty big as well ...
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/1%20odd%20art/193_zps4c875bef.jpg)
Ooooohhhhh.. I like that, Dale. Very nice.
Dale that Christmas Dredd is just fantastic - I can recall quite a few covers and splahes over the years where Dredd busts Santa
I thought I would share this one with you - its one of a couple of Siku pages I have and being framed I haven't posted it online before. Who doens't like a sentient T-Rex's answering the door to two hit men while smoking a cigar.

Yeah every time I see a new Cam Kennedy page here I think that's the strip I'd like one from, Big Sleep, The Warlord, Two Ton Tony, The Taxidermist amongst so many others. Now Normal. He really did get some beauts to draw.
I have a feeling that someone here has pages from I, Beast from the 1985 Summer Special. Now there's a page on there that one day, in the far future I'd love to own.
Great pages, Iain - especially the VCs one... Always a treat to see more Cam art!
Love those cam pages!
And that Brett Ewins Dale!
Man this thread...where do you start?
Iain- great Cam pages, his VC's art has a solid place in my heart as you know.
Look at Ringer's dead-eyed scowl in that 1st panel- genius.

I'm quite prepared to be wrong, but isn't that from the Sinister Dexter story about the film actor who received deaths threats and the boys are hired to protect him? One of the better stories...
Nice Cam Kennedy work, Iain. I particularly like the Dredd. I hadn't appreciated the body of work Cam had got through before drawing in the Prog until I read the history of Battle in my Meg Odyssey. I'd love some of his Battle pages...
Thanks for the comments Guys - Cam's art is such a treat to see first hand. And such a great guy to deal with, as well.

Simeon - i believe he has some
Fighting Mann (http://www.camkennedy.com/mann.html) pages left.
(I may still have a more up to date list somewhere - i can pass that along to you if you'd like?)

I will be cryptic and tell you all that I am currently waiting to hear back on a grail piece :-)
I may cry if I cannot get it though.
IN the meantime I will be selling a few pages so that I can pay something!
I hate to sell anything but have a look in the classified section.

Never published, it was the last Eagle comics cover. Shameless pimp, the next Comic Archive has interviews with Nick landau and Dez Skinn about the american editions of 2000ad material in the eighties, out soon.

Now that would indeed be something, wouldnt it.
Had a wee chat with Jim via his FB page. I'd asked about a possible commission, but alas, he's pretty much retired now.
But it was nice to speak to him about his art, - and just how much i love Skizz.
Below is another one of my Siku pages, but unfortualty the only Dredd one. I have three or four others that are all Sinister Dexter
I feel you don't get much interior comic art with such a great layout on what is quite a mundane subject. This is big as well, done on A3 art board.

Very nice Siku there Dark Spartan. I always liked his unique take on Dredd.
I really like that page

I have bought a load of random stuff over the years both US and UK based. I think my 2000ad art suffered as I spread myselt thin trying to buy too much
Got some great pieces and also missed out on some fantastic stuff. The attached piece is from the Bristol Comic show, its the cover and main promo art for that year and done by the great Trevor Harsaine.
Over the years I've got some great art there and still weep over some of the classics that I could have purchased if I had just spent, spent, spent and worried about having no money later on. I have found from experience I have a mix of both regret and fond memoires for the art I just missed on, for whatever the reason

You have some lovely pages Spartan :-D
Do you have a CAF page?
I'm glad you like the pages, its nice to share them with like minded people
I do indeed have a CAF page Skullmo - details below - quite a bit of my america art is on there along with my UK stuff. There is a Fleetway Slaine cover and a few Colin McNeil pieces.
I have a some other 2000ad pages and covers that I will post next week that have not seen the light of day in years
Enjoy

Really like your Adam Pollina X-Force cover.
Shame he kinda disappeared after that period, great artist.
The Adam Pollina cover was one of the first covers I bought - love that one
As for Nth Man - don't get me started. I had the idea that I could get all 16 of the original covers. I have three, 2 on CAF and one that I haven't scanned in yet. I always pester the guys on CAF who do have covers to see if they will part with them - they never want to
Right - dark-spartan has been filling this thread with lots of juicy art, and whilst I don't think I can out-trump it, I have a rather nice piece that Mr Jackson sold me recently. And I'm as pleased as punch! It is the only double page spread from the AHAB saga drawn by Rich Elson and written by Nigel Kitching.
Here is my attempt at assembling the dps as it appeared in the Prog with the aid of a crappy art program on my Mac:
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/ELSONDPSFINAL_zps9e687474.jpg)
And here is how it was originally drawn:

I know everyone says that photos don't do it justice - but - the photos don't do it justice. In real life, the pencils alone are glorious.
I'm a big fan of this story, a big fan of Richard Elson's work on this story and I feel very happy indeed!
You can see bigger, better pictures of it all over on my CAF page if you are interested :)
That carpet is lovely - what make is it?

Oh bloody hell - are you still here? It's the carpet in my office. The while blob at the top is where someone dropped some tippex.
Here we go again... I'm waiting for you all now...

Yeah - it looks like Rich used any paper that was to hand as well. The large piece is penned on the Waterford 140lb hot press paper he favoured at that time, whilst the A4 and A3 pages seem to be just a regular type of artists paper. It's quite creased in places, so it must have been kept around the office for a bit before being filed.

Ah yes indeed. Complete with sketches of other characters from other stories and what appears to be a coffee stain! :D
I have quite a bit of art like this, on strange paper, corners ripped, phone numbers on the bottom, panels missing.
I mean the very least every artist could do it draw his art on nice 11x17 board marvel style, is that too much to ask, really is it
great art though, love it
It wouldn't be 2000AD if it was uniform and corporate... That's one of the many things I love about it!

Could agree more with Mr 999 Posts (and where will Mark post his 1000th...). Part of the charm is the mish-mash of papers and materials that go into constructing a page. Nothing beats John Cooper's ink blob explosion on one of his panels that I own. Luckily it didn't go near the art, but it looks like his pen literally exploded :D
It'll be epic, whatever it is!
Bugger...

Some lovely Rich Elson AHAB there Simeon. I know from your other posts that you are a big Meg fan - I wonder if the recent Meg reprint is what made this appeal?
Great to have all the pieces of the artwork in that deconstructed way. Very nice - embrace the chaos!
Speaking of Rich Elson - someone should reprint Sonic The Comic! I enjoyed recent his work on Morbius: The Living Vampire too, art was better than the script though.

Cheers fella. Yes - that is exactly what prompted it. Meg 334 was my first 2000 AD comic after a very long absence, and it prompted me to buy some back issues to see what all the stories were about. I read and really enjoyed the AHAB reprint bundled with Meg 333 - I was particularly blown away by the design of the ship and the aliens. Then Dale put a page on eBay and the rest is history...

it's partly why I love collecting the art. Its great to see how the artists put it all together.
Who'd like an AHAB factoid? Sure you would! Rich said that the design of the 'boat' in the spread was inspired by the architecture of the nave in the church where one of his kids was doing a school play. Rich said:
I realised that it was basically an upside down boat so decided to repurpose the flying buttress design that you see on large cathedrals, turn it upside down, and used it as the main design for the whaler.I can definitely see what he means...

In the Meg interview he did back in 2009 (Meg 285 fact fans), Rich said he was very proud of Sonic, he enjoyed doing the art and thought they were great stories (some of which were penned by fellow AHAB creator Nigel Kitching). Mick McMahon said similar things I believe. I know some will smirk, but Rich described it in that interview as "
the best comic in the country when we were doing it". The Meg article also says it lives on online somewhere...
I didn't catch Morbius, I may see if I can find it somewhere, but I am hopeful Rich will soon be back in the Prog...
Met up with the fantastically talented Ben Willsher today and we did a little trading of artwork. I am very conscious of Thrill Power Overload, so I will share these as and when I get them scanned and filed and all that.
First up, one of the loveliest drawings of Lawmaster you are likely so see from the Nadia storyline in DoC (could someone with Progs and a spare 5 mins give me the Prog, Episode and Page Number in that Episode as I only have the TPB - ta)...
Fascinating fact: this was the last time Ben ever hand drew the name on a judge's name badge in an interior page. He now prefers to do this digitally. It's not quite the last time he EVER drew a name, that happened later on and I just might have that page too ;)
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/WillsherDreddLawmaster_zpsac897e44.jpg)
I think it's Prog 1744, Part 2, Page 6...
A lovely page! I really like how he has drawn the lawmaster. :P
Nice Dredd page Simeon ( do you know how hard it is for a dyslexic like me from writing Simone )
Anyway something unusual
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v493/fatboydale/1%20odd%20art/Nemesisphoto_zpsc5d423dc.jpg)
I always 'think' Simon and have to make a conscious effort to include the extra vowel! :lol:
And that photo is mental Dale.
I know, my name is annoying isn't it. And to add to the confusion, it is actually pronounced 'Simon' which causes all sorts of fun. Why my mother couldn't spell it right in the first place... :D
It's well mental, Dale. I shall plead ignorance and ask what are we looking at?
That nemesis photo was fom some tony Luke phoo story from either a sci-fi special or an annual, if I recall correctly...

And nice to see your little DoC gallery over on CAF. Its great to see these themed collections, so good luck with snagging a page apiece from the artist's involved.

I would just like to announce that that I am now the proud parent of two double page yearbook covers! :D

Oh I love those covers. The Year books were such beautiful packages, alas not often backed up with content. Image if say the 81-83 Judge Dredd annual had been presented like this. I think the comics world would have just stopped and said "Okay 2000ad wins"
that year book spread is an amazing piece of art, I don't remember seeing it in print so its great to see it now

Any deficiencies in the costume were overwhelmed by the thrill of seeing Nemesis in the Denmark Street Forbidden Planet, akin to seeing Christ having a snooze in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre or the Prophet taking a spin around the Kaaba.
Some truly lovely Wilsher and Austin there lads.
As some of ye know, I was looking for a decent Henry Flint page for ages.
Finally picked one up from Wake's online crack den- a very cool page from The Cold Deck, with Dredd getting his ass handed to him by Sarah Palin.
With one of my favorite panels in recent times; an awesome Eagle of Justice shoulder pad rendition by Flint, getting drilled through by Tipp-Ex High Ex.
LOVE IT.
It's a great page, Rich. Full of Henry madness and magic. He uses so many different techniques to create his pages. Awesome...
Cheers Simeon.
And here's a little something for you and our fellow Leigh Gallagher fans; a DOC page featuring Dredd, Beeny & Logan.
Got this from Leigh directly, he's as nice a chap as he is an artist.
Ah - that is a fine page. Love the perspective of that top panel. Not as nice as my pages from DoC by the Gallagher droid, of course ;) Super stuff - you got any money left!
Quote from: SimeonB on 22 August, 2013, 02:19:13 PM

Just enough to secure my first Steve Yeowell page, with
The Red Seas pages going for a song on Wake's website.
Will be back for more I think.
A fine haul of pages there, Rich. May well have to make enquires about this Gallagher chap...
He's a fine fellow!
Can't beat a bit of Red Seas and that is a beaut
Dale recently struck a rich vein of Tony Luke gold, and very kindly offered me first dibs on the Anderson PSI pages.
Luke's stuff may not be to everyone's taste, but I think he's brilliant.
This is my favourite page from Postcards from the Edge.
The art board used is the thickest I've ever seen- the thing weighs a ton.
Only small problem is that it would be nearly impossible to remove the acetate lettering layer without damaging the paint underneath, so she'll be going on display as is.
I may be wrong, but did Luke re-use his 'Nemesis' sculpture to portray the Devil statue in this???

A bit of a tumble weed moment going on here , me personally i love Tony Luke's art , it was pre Clint Langley and it was a different medium that hadn't really been seen before .....to really appreciate the art you have to see it up close .....
Is that a sales pitch Dale? :lol:

I though I would share this one with you. I've never posted it online before (it's not on my CAF page, not sure why) I got it direct from Gary who was a very nice chap indeed - anyway enjoy.

A new 'vintage' Paul Marshall Tyranny Rex piece to grievously wound mortal enemy Greg M (and upstart punk SimeonB) in The War of the Marshalls...
Tyranny never looked meaner than this page.
By the way Simeon- when you gonna post your Dan Francisco haul?
I have gazed upon your Rex, Link, and I deem it good. Your salvo has struck home. Do you have a CAF site yet?
Yeah, s'pose it's OK. If you squint one eye. And look at it funny... :D
Nah, just kidding, I really like those panels in the middle, Link. They are great. Don't know the story too well, but it's on the list (with about a billion other things!). Fortunately, I mainly play in a different Marshall timezone, but I might just have to have a little look at some of these vintage pages ;)

Regarding CAF, yeah I keep meaning to get one of those cool wand scanners Mark mentioned a while back.
Until then, please enjoy the shoddy low res pics I keep posting (and probably lazily always will)

Do worry i shall dig something old and rare out by Marshall for you Simeon... :D
Well just plain wow.
While there is plenty, PLENTY to admire about your 2000ad pages, I mean that Ron Smith Blood of Satanus cover is a stone cold classic I have to say for me possibly the standout piece is that page from Hate. Such a fantastic Pete Bagge page.
One day, one dim and distant day I will own one of those, so I swear to you all. One day!
So the postman came knocking today and I get to tick another Day of Chaos artist off my list - the fabulous Colin MacNeil. And as a bonus, he is a bloody nice bloke to deal with.
So - here's my page. And all I can say about it is BDAM!!! PTOW!!! Morits gets it right in the boat race, but the it's Judge Fire blasting away from a snow plough fitted with canons! Or something like that!
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/2000ADEoDEp18Pg4_zps49264660.jpg)
Super page, Simeon, and congrats on ticking off another DoC name!
And Colin is a star, isnt he. Think my DoC page is still one of my fave purchases.
I really like the look of Colin's most recent art - it'd probably take an artist to explain precisely how he's tweaked his style (thicker lines? Chunkier-looking, more stylised figures?) but it comes off as extremely assured, bold and confident.
Look at his original painted art for Devlin Waugh and you see just how good his work is.

Plus one on that; MacNeil's art looks even more incredible in its original form.
Remember that superb Henry Flint
Day of Chaos page someone posted in monochrome a while back? After a generation of artists who thought being able to paint meant they didn't need to learn how to draw, we've got a strong enough roster of artists to think about the comic going black and white again. Economics mean that's never going to happen, but I'd love it if someone offered limited edition collections of stories in b/w for curmudgeons who think everything was better before we went decimal.
Moving away from colour, Colin has become such an assured and dynamic sequential artist; images/panel/sound effects all driving the narrative forward with no one panel or page dominating or demanding attention. Total Comics.
I'd love to pick up some of his work, but it would have to be a full episode, I think.
Well... Seeing as everyone is being so nice about Mr MacNeil, what can I do but follow up with another.
This ones got robots and Lawmasters and a big old VAWOOM!!! (it's like being 8 years old all over again - brilliant!) :D
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/2000ADEoDEp19Pg6_zpsfe812a0d.jpg)
Superb pages Simeon! Lovely stuff indeed. And can I be the first to propose a one-off, all black and white, 2000AD Christmas prog!?
Both great pages...well in !
Very nice Simeon- MacNeil is as impressive as always.
By the way, I had a look at your stuff over on CAF Graff, you own one of my favourite pieces of art of all time- O'Neills contents page from the '85 annual. Amazing.
My god, those are beautiful pages. I thought they were wonderful on the printed page...now I think I prefer them in B&W. So economical and deceptively simple and exciting to follow. :o
Usually, with colour, heavy black inks are the first to go...
It looks like the artist did the lettering too... exquisite work.

He did - and I was amazed. I felt sure it would be done on the computer. But nope - Colin did it all himself and it is beautifully done. Even right close up it is all so uniform. Very talented man that Mr MacNeil...
That's unusual from what I can tell, I wonder what the letterers thought of that...To me these are simply classic pages. I could go on and on...and on...about how special they are, they're perfect, they do the job of telling the story perfectly well. Instantly understandable and clear in direction - so the eye doesn't slow down at all, so the pace seems fast. Just awe inspiring....in fact I'm wondering off up the street in something of a fugue state...in the direction of a pub....muttering the while.
I just realised that the group of figures in the page above are seen as if in the eye of a judge's visor. I've not seen the painted version in a while, perhaps that's obvious in colour, in B&W it's almost abstract. Did MacNeil colour the pages for print? It looks like the ink is applied mainly with marker pen, maybe not.
There's been a lot of good stuff on this thread but IMO this is about the best I've seen here. Got any more pages like this? (I don't collect, just out of interest)
Those Colin McNeil pages look fantastic, I don't have any of his black and white art
I have few of his painted pieces, including a Song of the Surfer page that I got from him at a Bristol Comic Con years ago - great art from in my opinion from the best 2000ad story ever told
anyway thought I would show you this one - its a much better scan than the one on my CAF page

Artist-drawn sound effects are always a bit a vexed question for letterers: there's not a one of us who doesn't like to see beautifully executed FX work like Colin's on these pages. Most of the time, though, our reaction tends to be:
"Oh, why did you have to go and do that?"Cheers!

I thought that might be the case and would think letterers would need as much freedom as possible. The lettering is superb here of course but I can imagine there might be artists who may think they are stronger in that area than they are. Jim, in such a case are you authorised to remove those elements or would that be a no-no?

Great work and a great story too. Thanks for posting.

That's unusual from what I can tell, I wonder what the letterers thought of that...
Artist-drawn sound effects are always a bit a vexed question for letterers: there's not a one of us who doesn't like to see beautifully executed FX work like Colin's on these pages. Most of the time, though, our reaction tends to be: "Oh, why did you have to go and do that?"
Cheers!
Jim
As I never, ever tire of looking at them, I'll stick a few examples of McCarthy sound FX in
The Strangeness... thread (thisaway). (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,36079.0.html)

Not all letterers have access to the final, high-res art files — several publishers marry up the lettering with the finished art in-house which would make amending the art a non-starter. Most of the publishers I work for
do let me have the finished high-res colours and I've been known to unilaterally erase mis-spelled or crappy signage. FX work, for some reason, seems different but I have asked (and been given permission) to remove poor SFX on occasion. I'd never do it without asking, though.
Cheers
Jim

Lettering is an art all its own. Thanks for the 'behind the scenes'!

Chris Weston day today!
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/weston1_zps40dae827.jpg)
Holy crap man, you just keep acquiring fantastic pages! They're really really lovely.
Ah, you finally got a page from the Weston Nemesis! Well done - it's an extremely good one! The Canon Fodder cover is also cool - the second series was surprisingly good.
Got a lovely Devlin Waugh cover too! This photo does not do it justice!

Bloody hell, this is a haul and a half! The Waugh is the crowning glory - unless there's more to come?
;-)
No more 2000ad art tonight unfortunately!
You bought the Waugh cover; you sneaky fucker! :o
For my money, pound for pound, at the end of the day, when all is said and done - Chris Weston is the MAN! Look at that stuff. It's awesome! Well done, mate!

You're playing the Baked Beans thing up because it's your round, aren't you? I'm sure the bar staff accept Chris Westons... ;)

I have also just had a postal delivery! :o
It's a new kidney maybe?
It's a summons from my Bank Manager! ;)
A superb haul Skullmo (especially considering your upcoming purchase of that-which-shall-not-be-mentioned).
Love the Weston Nemesis, a shame he never did more than that winter special- he was well suited to the world of Termight.
Wow, Skullmo...
I'm intensely jealous, very happy for you on acquiring that Devlin Waugh page...
It's truly wonderful, and would fit in my Devlin collection really well...
Well done mate......Was it for sale, or did you acquire it directly from the artist ???
I only ask coz I'd not seen it anywhere ??
Cheers
One of three that arrived this morning
(http://i.imgur.com/t2dhuTJ.jpg)
An Elson and a MacNeil to come later...
Oooohhhhh !!...
Very nice indeed Mark......
Where is this from ???.....I've never seen anything like this before....
C'mon how did you manage to get this ???...What's the story ??
I can imagine SimeonB will be positively 'green' delighted for you when he sees this piece...
Great stuff....
Cheers
This is Henry Flint's Shakara cover to prog 1727. Not a very interesting story I'm afraid though, it was part of a trade I did with a Mr Wakefield Carter for one of my Mick Austin Finn covers...
Didn't realise it was a cover, Mark...
I must have missed that one when it came out......I'll have to have a look to see what it looks like as the Prog cover...
Well done, though ...It's a very unusual, but utterly amazing piece.... :o
You must be well 'chuffed'...your collection seems to be growing at an exponential rate at the moment !!
And kidneys still intact obviously... :D
Cheers
Great stuff, Mark - looking forward to seeing the rest!
Day of Chaos: A tale that took nearly a year to unfold, and when the day finally arrived we was left with this closing image.....

A modern classic that Day of Chaos page.
Can't believe some of the stuff that's being posted here recently !!.... :o
Absolutely marvellous pieces and a joy to look at....
Cheers, guys and many thanks for sharing your jamminess good fortune with the rest of us... :D
What a 'thread' this is.......really amazing stuff... and that Devlin page, and The Days of Chaos page, and that Shakara..........and that, etc .....just wow....

It was acquired in a trade and not for sale. Thankfully I have nice things that I enjoy trading! I find trading a lot more fun than selling. My bank do not like it as much though.

Mark, that Kingdom page is terrific.....But.....That MacNeil Insurrection page is just........ way, way beyond fabulous......an amazing piece.....
That Mr MacNeil really can draw a bit.............it's just an incredible page filled with awesomeness....I defy anybody who's interested in original comic artwork not to love that page......I'm almost speechless with envy...
Really well done on acquiring these recent additions....
Cheers
Wow! Someone just got a 2 litre bottle of Awesome Sauce and tipped it over this thread... Weston is like an art god to me, I gotta get me some of his work. A Shakara cover!! Aaaaagggghhhh! Special wee time! Bloody brilliant! Well done, Mark. And an Elson cover. OMFG to use the language of young people. Then a MacNeil Insurrection... Holy Moly...
And Iain, a truly iconic page from a truly iconic artist.
I'm going to go and have a sit down. I've got over excited. Happy, calm place..... Oommmmm... ;)
It never rains, but it pours... (And here's me with a self-inflicted art-drought - more-or-less ;))
Great stuff, folks.
Some people have asked me to share a bit more of my Marshall collection. I shall, I promise - it's just a question of scanning and posting and all that stuff. I'm trying to read 140+ Megs here guys AND blog about them!
However, I just had to share this Meg 297 cover. Because it's fabulous. There's no computer trickery here, folks, this is Mr Marshall at his finest. Done with pens and markers, he did it originally as just a litle sketch. He showed it to Tharg, who immediately commissioned it as a cover. So Paul tidied it up a bit and here it is. It's only on A4, but some good things come in small packages...
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/Meg297Cover_zpsff9c8bf2.jpg)
I am fortunate enough to own a number of Paul's pages, and a few covers, but this is simply stunning in every way. Reminds me a little of the cover from Restricted Files 3 (http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=996110), which Smiffy owns the original of.
Greg / Link - how'd you like them apples ;)
Another cracker !!
Well done, SimeonB that is a beaut !!
( And continuing in 'the young folks' language......That's totes mega, innit !! )...
A really nice piece, with the splash of red highlighting the violence lurking within the Black and White......A really great piece of artwork !!...
Cheers
Simeon gave me a sneaky peek of this the other day. And it's a most striking piece, isnt it. Sometimes 'simple' is the best.

That final page from Day of Choas is not just a modern classic its probably one of the all time greats. Its a page of such weight, power and significance I think its one of the most important in Dredd's history. I'm discovering new levels of jealousy today... its an interesting experience!

Some great stuff posted over the weekend (Simeon's Dredd Marshall cover & Marks Shakara cover), but I have to agree with Colin here- Iain has bagged a piece of history, rendered by an artist who will one day be regarded as 2000AD's all time greatest.
"The city - his beloved city - is dying before his eyes"
I've been studying this piece a lot and referring back to the printed page. Yes, the shoulders are slumped, but it's the tightly clenched right hand fist that gets me. Flint chose to draw it almost in total shadow, but having looked at it for a little while it seems to be to be pretty tightly closed. Like the pain of clenching it that hard is trying to ease the pain he is feeling for his city...
Powerful stuff...

Heh. Assuming NWOTTAD = Now Working on Two Thousand AD, then on the matter of the assertion above, I have to agree with you. There are many fine, fine artists working on 2000AD these days; Henry's one of the foremost talents, but all-time greatest? Nah. That's Brendan McCarthy, obviously ;)
There's no such thing as '2000ADs all-time Greatest'
anything. There are (and always have been) a number of supremely talented artists (and writers) on Tharg's roster, but if you put two Squaxx in a room, I'm fairly sure they'd offer conflicting opinions. We can argue all day about things like this but it boils down to being a matter of personal preference. Greatest artist based on what? Draughtsmanship? Storytelling? Doing good hands? You could do a 2000AD artist Top Trumps, though.
Henry Flint is an Art God at whose doorstep I place a large chunk of the responsibility for the current Golden Age in which we live in; obviously one of
The Greats, but single greatest 2000AD artist...? For you, maybe! :)
I thought I would share these two with you seeing as Simeon has shown his fantastic colour version of the Paul Marshall Dredd cover.
The grey tone / red version looks great

Ok, I guess I should have added an "IMO" on that post, but I thought that was a given!
I agree 100% with this Ming, and truth be told if you shoved a de-registered Mark I Lawgiver into my mouth there's a high chance I'd flip like a cowardly prison snitch into declaring Kev O'Neill as being the greatest 2000AD artist of all time instead.
Like most of ye, I'm a 'lifer', so am heaping praise towards Henry Flint in full knowledge of who and what has come before him.
But consider this; 2014 will mark
20 years of Flint's prolific presence in the Prog.
He's grown from accomplished artist into Betelgeusian Treasure in that time, illustrating dozens of different strips- Dredd, Rogue, Nemesis, Dante, Zombo, Shakara to name a few- and his signature style is, to me, a potent blend of the very best of vintage & modern 2000AD.
So yeah- I'm a huge fan, and personally consider him as one of the best artists ever to grace the Prog.
Hopefully he'll be contributing for many decades to come.

Thanks for sorting this out for me Simeon...
niiiiice!
i posted this on an old thread which no one is likely to read ....
I have certain artists i have been looking for years Dave d'Antiquis was one, nobody knew where he was ....apart from a comic dealer on here , who would not pass his email to me ... so i did it the hard way ..
I found him using all my contacts and £11 ( grrr long story ) well i got an email from him tonight ...... cmon......
He's got nowt left , all given away .... shit or bust , but sometimes its not about just buying artwork ...
Now to find my last few 2000ad artist's ....
Now that's saddened me; I was saying to Skullmo just the other week how much I'd like a Brigand Doom page... :(
Nice to see you snagged a Richardson prelim,
Mark - good stuff - as with
Simeon's also.
And as youve both snagged prelims, is his finished art now purely digital?
And before any new art lands,
Mr Links posts got me thinking again about something that had been bubbling away in my subconscious....

Until the last couple of years or so, i was solidly in the 'vintage' camp. Id kept up to date with various trades through the years, and could admire (greatly) the new talent on art duties, but still i was fairly in the past. Now back buying the prog for the last year and a bit, i find my outlook has been broadened considerably.
When threads do pop up for 'who's best....', the nearest we get to a broad conscenus is picking somebody from the usual list of the older 'big names'. Now, could a 'newer' artists ever eclipes these giants?
Id like to think its a real possibility.
OK, minor waffling over. Now where's the art! ;)

Oh, for goodness sake.............
Look, I'm not glued in the past, I feel that a number of the present day artists have helped revive the Prog and made a substantial difference to its current vibrancy, BUT.... given a free pick would you choose a cover by one of the modern artists over a cover by O'Neill, McMahon, Ezquerra, Ewins, Talbot, Cam Kennedy??? If you answered yes, loop back to the comment above :)

I've been looping through this post for 20 minutes now and I'm feeling a bit sick... Can I stop yet, because my answer isn't changing... I'd prefer Greg Staples' cover to Prog 1750 (http://www.2000ad.org/covers/2000ad/hires/1750.jpg)than any of these. Doh! Back to the "oh for goodness sake" again...
No-one's right, no-one's wrong - see my earlier post about this being an entirely subjective matter. However, M. brood clearly is glued in the past, and in denial to boot :lol:
Cam Kennedy, O'Neill, etc. - all incredible artists but if you don't place Flint, D'Israeli, Coleby, Staples at al. up there with the best of them then ask yourself why not? If the basic, honest answer comes down to 'because I prefer the Art Gods of my youth' then I won't be surprised.
Anyway, pointless discussion as it will go around in circles forever and become some kind of Time Twister.
Less chat, more art!
:)

To follow up on Mark's post, here is the other prelim that Karl sent over and it's for Prog 1695. To answer Iain's question, Karl has historically been digital for covers, pens for interiors - although his recent Prog 1845 cover was pens. More on that another time ;)
For now, I hope you enjoy this cover:

In recognition of the great new Biz Slaine story in this week's prog, I thought I might as well put up a couple of Horned God pages from my collection that I haven't shown on this site yet.
Featuring the ladies Danu and Medb who are sadly absent (though mentioned) from the new episode.
Enjoy..

Thanks for posting...

Really liking the 'new' Bisley stuff by the way.....Although ( expects a kicking here ) not as much as I liked his Horned God stuff... Yes, it's awesome and it's obvious he has 'moved on', but it's a bit 'too extreme' for me.......I actually preferred his previous 'more sedate' stuff....
Sorry...... :'(

Cheers Simeone,
Glad you like them! Three pages from the series adorn my living room wall and my twin has one in his house, whenever I visit it's almost the first thing I check!
I also agree with what you said; as good and fun as the new episode is, it's not quite as lovable (or lovingly created) as the Horned God....though it is on at least on a par with the last two episodes of that epic!!

AYE! Nothing says subtle like that last panel (above) of ancient Celt Medb looking like she's been shot in the face with Homer Simpson's make-up gun, while an engorged purple glans tears through her blood drenched vagina/mouth. God help us all if Bisley ever decides to stop pussy footing around and just draw exactly what's on his mind.

God help us all if Bisley ever decides to stop pussy footing around and just draw exactly what's on his mind.
Love the Homer reference! The Thomas Edison episode was great.
AS for that particular panel, I was looking through movie posters from the 70's and 80's and have a fair idea where Biz got the inspiration for that pic (whose presence on our wall upsets the missus no end, I can tell you!).
Unfortunately the movie's title is not something I care to repeat on this forum!!
I'll send anyone a PM of the pic, if they're interested.

Sauchie,
Right to the 'meat' of the matter as usual...... :lol:
Yes, despite Bisleys'
'slightly restrained' work on the Horned God.........( Wonderful pages there
Kenneth ).......And the blatantly sexual vision in the last few panels shown...........
His new stuff seems to 'scream out' a bit more .... It looks even more psychotic !!....With almost 'neon' like colours.....
I've not complaining as it's still wonderful and absolute
Bisley, through and through, ( see this weeks prog ) it's just not as appealing to me as the
Horned God stuff !!....His style, like all the other artists' featured, has moved on..
Although if someone offered me a page of his new stuff, I'd bite their hand off !!
Cheers
Not to be left out of the Karl Richardson-fest I also have this!
Thanks to Sim(e)onB for getting this for me :D

Woahhh !!
Liking that one a lot Skullmo...
Well done on acquiring that !!....Astonishingly good, and some truly fabulous detail...( especially on that Lawgiver ! )
Cheers
Verrrry nice; love the reflected city blocks in the helmet.
That nice Karl Richardson can paint as well as draw! Hopefully, Karl will release some more of his work for sale soon...
Right, I had a new delivery today and a new scan.
New delivery was prompted from a fellow forum-ite asking for Leigh Gallagher's website details. And then I went on his website and accidentally bought another Day of Chaos page... Doh! it's a corker, though, a page where perhaps the tide turns against the Justice Department? Up for debate, perhaps, but it's a cracker. No-one draws blowing parts of the human anatomy out like Leigh does :)

And I managed to scan another of my Willshers. This is from The Skinning Room. It's where [spoiler]Skinner finally meets a very sticky end, bouncing off lots of different bits of the Resyk facility as he goes[/spoiler]. I'm covering that up from those folks who perhaps haven't read Day of Chaos yet...

And a pivotal moment from the DoC, to boot! - We discussed all these points, and more, at length, so you'll know all this!
(And a big thank you for stepping aside from the page you originally wanted to allow me to snag it instead.)
Gotta love the DoC!
You got that scanner fired up yet, JJ? I wanna see me some more Gallagher :)

In recognition of the great new Biz Slaine story in this week's prog, I thought I might as well put up a couple of Horned God pages from my collection that I haven't shown on this site yet.
Featuring the ladies Danu and Medb who are sadly absent (though mentioned) from the new episode.
Enjoy..
Prog 629 episode 4 page 6 (the first page of Slaine I ever saw, back in Science class in 1989, aged 12!)

these are wonderful ...... but i know you can do better Mr k .... ;)
I'm not usually a fan of 'Tha' Biz' (his work is too static for me, and he has had far too many second rate imitators), but these are 2 great, sexy pages. Beautiful.

I have certain artists i have been looking for years Dave d'Antiquis was one, nobody knew where he was ....apart from a comic dealer on here , who would not pass his email to me ... so i did it the hard way ..
I found him using all my contacts and £11 ( grrr long story ) well i got an email from him tonight ...... cmon......
He's got nowt left , all given away .... shit or bust , but sometimes its not about just buying artwork ...
Now to find my last few 2000ad artist's ....
Just re-reading my copy of Case Files 8 last night. Whatever happened to Kim Raymond? He/She seems to divide fans of classic b/w Dredd, but I always (even at the time) rated that sketchy angular style. And she/he could certainly produce a sexy Anderson/ferocious albino alligator.
One for your bulldog breed research skills, Dale?

There's seven (!) more as soon as I get round to scanning 'em!
One of my favourite pages from Bad Company there! It brings back fond memories!
Lovely Day of Chaos pages - I'll say it again, art looks better in black and white!
And that Bizley is as usual amazing! No wonder everyone wanted to copy him!

That's better. I felt you weren't hating me proportionately enough in your previous post.
I LOVE you, Greg.
Can I have some of your art, now?
(That Bad Company page is absolutely stunning; good pick up!)
If I were going a Bad Company page without Kano in it would without doubt be that one Greg, there ain't many with Kano in that are better. Its quite brilliant. Knowing that a BC fan you are that must have a very special place in your heart.
Cheers, lads. You're right, Colin, it's an absolute blinder, and the climax of my favourite story - there's no way I could pass up on the chance to get my grubby mitts on this glorious page. As for your request, Graff... let's see, what does Dale usually say when he gets asked for free art? Oh yeah, I remember - NO. ;) Mind you, I don't know if anyone's tried telling him they love him yet....
Or alternately: will always consider trading some non-Bad Co. stuff for more Bad Co. Monomaniacal? Me? :)
Now I see why you were skint, Greg! Nice snag, sir, and I suspect you owe that lovely Mr Brood a pint or two or three... Weren't there 8 in total ;)
Quote from: SimeonB on 04 September, 2013, 09:08:44 PM

There are indeed 8 of the beauties. Will scan 'em in over the next few days (not going to stick 'em all up here though, don't want to bore folk!), though the undoubtedly lovely Mr. Brood still has 'em up in his 'Gone But Not Forgotten...' gallery on CAF if anyone wants to see what all I snagged.
Now, I have many reasons to love the DoC. Not least because it changed me from Trade waiting to Prog buying.
(And this particular page is all thanks to my new BFF, and fellow DoC aficionado Simeon - Cheers, S!)

"We're too late"
The title page from the sixth, and pivotal part of the Assassination list, by the wonderful Mr Leigh Gallagher.
And a page thats heavy with symbolism; Judges standing around fearing the worst and looking impotent, Dredd refusing to give up the fight, but still ends up half dead - and on his knees.
And the realisation that chances (Hennessy's predictions) were squandered, or not given enough weight until it was too late. The truth may be more unsettling - they was always two steps behind, and in effect powerless.
Epic, epic stuff from the GGC.

Just quoting to save me typing it out :D
It's a great page...but I fear our little mission is soon to be over :( Still it's been fun tracking these DoC pages down!
Outstanding stuff today guys- although my Heart belongs to that too Krool for school page Greg posted.
Epic page, love that story so much, and am happy a genuine aficionado has it in his collection.
Yes, agree totally Link...
It's always nice to know that a 'true' collector has snagged a piece and that he's going to keep it for his own enjoyment...
It 'kind of' takes the pain away from missing it yourself.....
Cheers
Re-scanned this for CAF. Doesn't want to load right now, so here it is here for now...Kev O'Neill 1985, done in ink and markers; fresh as the day it was drawn. He's a fabulous colourist, something i only realised when I saw his work on Marshal Law.
First time posting an image. Not too big, I hope? (snurk, fnarr fnarr, etc etc).
(http://i.imgur.com/PWoHmaL.jpg) (http://imgur.com/PWoHmaL)
Love it, Graff Vynda K. O'Neill was firing on all cylinders in that era of Nemesis – some of my favourite ever artwork that graced the hallowed pages of 2000AD.
That O'Neill nemesis/Torquemada 1985 annual contents page is a really exquisite piece. Lovely.
Ps: whatever could you mean Dale? ::)
Ben, you know you can never make O'Neill images too big; that level of insane detail is the gift that goes on giving. Great to see a better scan - I love the eerie glow from the candle...
For me, there aren't that many artists whose colour and B&W work rival each other to the same degree as Kevin O'Neill (Cam Kennedy is another).
Colin Wilson
(http://i.imgur.com/B5TTjc7.jpg)
And some Fabry bloke...
(http://i.imgur.com/9CAT87p.jpg)
It's been a bit slow on here this week . . . anyone got any new art?
:P
Lovely pages Hippy - you must be pleased with those beauties!
It does seem a bit manic around here lately :lol:
Great pages, Mark - I'm especially loving that Colin W page...
Nice pages, Mark! I particularly like that Colin Wilson Rogue page with the spaceships panel.
That new Fabry Saine page really is a beauty; made me take a closer look at the page I have from Slaine the King. Although there's a lot to be said about the looseness and fluidity exhibited in Fabry's art these days, I was always a sucker for the ultra-detailed earlier work (rosy-tinted-spectacle-wearing-reactionary that I am).
(http://i.imgur.com/KatRJcc.jpg)
And in the spirit of Steve Cook's 'Largin' it'...

The page I have is pretty much standard art-droid favoured art board size... (35 x 50cm-ish at a guess.) If you want mahoosive, you should look at Colin Wilson, Ian Gibson (Day of the Droids, for example), or Ewins / McCarthy Bad Co. They're HUGE (I think I made some measurements and posted them earlier in the thread).
After a bit of digging...
Quote from: ming on 25 July, 2012, 09:22:32 AM
Yeah, that's the same size for my Gibson Robo-Hunter (the actual artwork, panel-border to panel border, comes in at 51.5 x 42cm).
I had a quick look for other outsized artwork I have:
Bad Company (first run): 43.5 x 36cm (on a 52 x 44cm page)
Colin Wilson Dredd (his first story): 49 x 36cm (56.5 x 40cm page; his Rogue stuff is along the same lines)
Simon Harrison's 'Revere' pages are roughly 32"x24"
That's an absolutely brilliant Slaine page Ming......
And, for me anyway, a most wonderful depiction of Slaines' Warp Spasm...
Just incredible stuff....
Cheers

The candle is done with layers of white-out over the markers. Incredibly subtle effects. And yes! A colour piece from Cam Kennedy would be high on my list; another beautiful colourist.

Yes - the Revere Bk III pages are the biggest pieces of original comic art I've ever seen - Bk I and II are already substantially larger than the norm, but the Bk III ones are colossal.
Quote from: SimeonB on 05 September, 2013, 10:49:11 AM
Nice pages, Mark! I particularly like that Colin Wilson Rogue page with the spaceships panel.
That's a fabulous Colin Wilson.
The Wilson Rogue page I have is on board 22 x17, but the panels themselves are on paper, cut out and stuck to the board. Is this what Wilson usually does? I don't have another to compare (poor me).
The Brett Ewins DPS's from Haunting of Sector House 9 are almost too big for my house; on board size 32 x 22. Too big to frame, don't fit in any storage folders, just sitting around scaring the kids right now. Eeek!
For comparison, the O'Neill 1985 annual page is just slightly bigger than A4.

I think the cut-and-paste was done in-house, not by Colin himself. Royd might confirm (or I can see if Colin remembers anything about this) but I'm not sure that anyone knows why it was done this way. The 'Ghost in the Machine' Rogue and the 'Sweet Taste of Justice' Dredd pages I have are both unmolested... Just one of those oddities; the kind of thing that might have niggled me in the past but these days, the art's the art.
The smallest page I have is the Cam Rogue page (the Marauders); don't have the exact measurements to hand but it's a lot smaller than the size Cam worked on for The VCs and Dredd.
And Ben, if you're worried about 'The Haunting...' page scaring the kids you can always send it to me for safe keeping ;)
(No, just get it framed and keep it safe).

Yes, this is what Royd told me when i asked about it. Said it was done by editorial - he also said neither he, nor Colin knows why....
But the art thread hits overdrive! Stunning pieces, Mark - nice to see the Rogue page made it safely from OZ.
And that O'Neill annual contents page - glorious!
Some fantastic art of late ....i sure some of you have caught my ocd in collecting ....
I should have a nice catch in 3 weeks .... ;)
Of mackerel?
Will be using a sprat to catch it?
The First appearance of Bradley .... still a favorite of mine ..

Hi everyone - I'm new here and have just popped up to say that I am parting with my Strontium Dog page from Starlord No.1. The sale is being handled online through Comic Book Postal Auctions and the hammer falls this Tuesday at 8pm. If you haven't bid there before, you need to first submit an e-mail bid using their form and then follow up by phone for any subsequent bids.
The page comes from Johnny Alpha's debut. It probably sells itself without me having to say much more. I have requested a reserve of £250 - £300.
Here's the link:

Well, one or two. ;) Hi there, welcome to the thread where deranged individuals spend silly money on bits of paper. Think I saw your sale of the Strontium Dog page get a mention on downthetubes - think it's also mentioned somewhere earlier in this thread too. Good luck with the sale, I am sure you will exceed your reserve. It's a great page.
And speaking of great pages - Simeon, Shakara is really scary when he opens his mouth, isn't he?
Never mess with a dude who brings the vengeance of an entire species - that's what I say! I love the bits seemingly flying off him as well. Like he's moving so fast he's breaking apart...
Have I mentioned I love Shakara? Well I do :D
Great pages Simeon. I can see why you love them, they are brilliant!
That last panel is empty by the way, the image from the comic is just burned onto your retina from reading the comic so much!
Great stuff guys.
You can't even turn your back on this thread for 48 hours...
As it's been more than 48 hours with no action, here's another Colin Wilson Rogue page (this one doesn't feature stuck-on panels, and the KBOOOMMM!!! effect was done by Colin, not pasted-on text):
(http://i.imgur.com/U03Zvsn.jpg)
(A bigger scan plus a couple of close-ups are in my CAF gallery; link below)
Beautiful work from the Wilson droid; the teddy bear with the cracked chem-suit helmet is still my favourite panel there...
Hmmm . . . . .there is something about that woman that I just don't trust! :P
A lovely page! Such clean linework!
Great page - great story, too. Much more classically Rogue-centric than my bio-chip-oriented pages. I always love those iconic images of Rogue where most of his face is in shadow and you can only see his nose.
Some jaw-droppingly good art has been posted recently -- keep it coming, please!
I'm no fan of Rogue Trooper but man did he get the very best artists on side and that Colin Wilson page is just so very, very wonderful.
Love those old-skool FX.
Both Wilson and Kennedy are past masters at drawn sound.
I'm afraid I can't add any rogue trooper pages or good sound effects but I though I would share with you a man being punched in the guts by the devil - fantastically drawn in full colour by Chris Weston

Now I've found this thread, I've got a lot of pages to catch up on...!
Thanks for listing it! I think that now rates as the most expensive page I've bought other than one of my Frank Hampson Dan Dares (and possibly the other one). I've got an Ian Kennedy TimeQuake page from Starlord issue 1 and a Dave Gibbons Harlem Heroes from 2000AD Prog 1 but the earliest Stront page I've got is from Prog 493 (Incident on Mayger Minor). I've bought from Compal a few times over the years, but I imagine my bid got bumped up a bit from the publicity on facebook and DownTheTubes (http://downthetubes.net/?p=11642)
I was considering chasing this but by the sounds of it it's probably a good idea that I just forgot about it :lol: Anyway, congrats, Wake - a really beautiful piece of art and a historically important one. Post up a decent scan if you can, please.
Really chuffed for you, Wake, it's a cracking page. I hate to think what you paid for it, but worth every penny I've no doubt ;)
The old scanner has been working overtime, as I have another Willsher to share with you. This is the cover to Prog 1768, and continues my current obsession for all things Day of Chaos. Originally drawn on two seperate pages, before being bought together by the magic of computing.
My computing is slightly less magic, but I've fudged it together as best I can. If you want to see the original pages as they were drawn, check the "Additional Images" on the CAF page (http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1051100)

Everything connected to the DoC is simply quality, and Mr Willsher's art is amongst the very best of the new wave of 2000ad artists. Brilliant stuff!
Judge Jack, I feel DOC has given you a new collecting purpose in life and brought you into the 21st century :D
I think your right! :D
Dredd epic's can be hit or miss affairs, but the DoC is equal to the very best ones of old.
And of course it got me prog buying again, :thumbsup:
In regards to new art, i may have some 'stuff' to post on here, later tonight......

I don't think I explained this very well. Let me try again. The Judges, cits and cityscape were all drawn on one sheet of A3. Borisenko's evil head was drawn on another sheet of A3. Ben then bought the two images together by computer, and I have done is a far more hacked way.
Sorry for any confusion...

Couldnt resist going back to snag a few more delightful DoC pages from Leigh Gallagher.
And was well happy to find this A4 Dredd included as a 'bonus'.

Finally had chance to do a wee bit more scanning.....
Direct from Mr Leigh Gallagher - a page from the assassination list, featuring yer actual flippin' assassination list!

And straight from Colin MacNeil's house to mine, this cracker. And featuring Dredd, Beeny, and in a small cameo - Minty, ;)

Comparing the original art to the published version, Colin's original certainly offers more udderz bang for yer buck....
Both up on CAF now - and in larger scans, or will be very shortly.
Great stuff, fella. Lovely pages. Now why did you go for the Minty Beaver page, hmmm? :D
Love the DoC pages Iain & Simeon.
Would love to have some cash to splash on one myself!
A very special commission by Lew Stringer has soaked up any non-booze related funds alas...

No! ;)
Yes!
Been putting up some more Paul Marshall Dan Francisco pages over on CAF today. I think this is the pick of the bunch...

That's a lovely couple of pages. Mr Marshall is getting even better!
Definitely the pick of the bunch (it's the one I wanted!) ;)
spoiler - not 2000ad art but UK art
This is probably not in right place but I thought I would share with you anyway. I believe that its a page from the UK Magazine Deadline (I can't remember which one). Anyway seeing as how I had been posting my art on the board I thought you might like this one. I unfortunately can't remember the artist but its a massive piece and I loved it right from when I first opened the package.

Yep. Atomic Baby from Deadline. Couldn't tell you the issue, either, I'm afraid...
Cheers!

I was considering chasing this but by the sounds of it it's probably a good idea that I just forgot about it :lol: Anyway, congrats, Wake - a really beautiful piece of art and a historically important one. Post up a decent scan if you can, please.
It's even better in the flesh than I'd hoped for :-) I scanned it in two parts on my work A3 scanner and managed to stitch the images together with the join in the white between frames.
(http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/stront1_3.jpg)
That is an absolutely lovely page Wake!
I love Ezquerra's stuff and that is a very fine example of it.
That's just a wonderful page, Wake......
Apart from being wonderfully drawn with an amazing amount of detail......I particularly like the way it's only 'partially' coloured....The Black and White parts of / in it, really 'draws' the eye....An absolutely amazing piece...
Cheers
Aye, a simply lovely page there, Wake. :thumbsup:
Those early Stronty's are gold.
Very nice Wakefield. Very nice.
Like Ming, I considered chasing this. Glad it's gone to a fellow boarder and now has as fine a home as could be hoped for. Well done Sir!

Fantastic page, Wake - you must be chuffed about this one! As for the partial colour, I wonder whether Carlos got part-way through colouring this before he realised (or was told) that the story wasn't to be printed in full colour? I suspect not, to be honest - the first two pages are fully coloured but the rest appear to be like this one; partial B&W, partial grey tones on the printed page (presumably indicating that, like the page you have, they're also partially coloured).
Anyway, it's a stunner :)

I actually thought that was the case - that it had originally been intended as a full colour piece but changes in the originally-planned format for Starlord had been made, so he stopped colouring it halfway through. Dunno where I'm getting that from though. Great page either way.
Another delivery from Karl Richardson. I'm such a huge fan of his work. Here we have the prelim for Prog cover 1783, which he scanned into his computer and inked an coloured digitally after that.
And it's another Day of Chaos piece to add to my collection :)

The second to last owner (Ian Senior - one of the big 2000ad original art dealers) had all that info in the description when he was selling it on e-Bay, the other year.
And just had a mail back from King Carlos - who, unfortunatley, cant recall the exact details, but suspects that what's been attributed to the page, is in fact, what actually happened; That plans were changed rather late in the day, regarding colouring the full strip.
EDIT: Just seen you new DoC piece,
Simeon! Sell it to me, you have enough DoC pieces now!!
Rather grand stuff, though :thumbsup:
And it makes that disintegrated skeleton look all the more eerie...
Lovely DOC cover there Simeon!

I think it well may have been the case, 'stop colouring'. The change from monthly to weekly came very late in the day.
More likely, you are only getting paid black and white rates - stop colouring!

Logan's not looking his best... (http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1053711)
yeah but he's armless :-\
Ah Logan... Poor old sod. Lovely page JJ. But I win. Yep, I now have pages from each of "the big 4" artists of the Day of Chaos saga as I collected my Henry Flint page from Wake today from "The Day's After".
"Whatever I did it wasn't enough..."
Dan Francisco has had enough, and resigns as Chief Judge in a dramatic manner - ripping off his badge of office... The Council beg Dredd to stay, but he also resigns. The end of an era in Mega City One, and thus begin the post Day of Chaos storylines...
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/daysafter2_zpsb82a8d85.jpg)
Ah, a lovely, lovely page that, SB.
Plenty of Joe in it, and love that top panel, showing the ruined vista of MC1.
So pretty much everthing you'd want from a Flint DoC page, ...and its nearly as good as mine, ;)
Congrats on snagging this, and just a 'Bagwell' left to go, to round off the DoC tribute galleries!
This Dean Ormston cover will be up on ebay later in the week.......
Had this sitting around for a while now so thought I'd show it off. It still needs a little restoration work (in progress)...
(http://i.imgur.com/3bP73HB.jpg)
Such a lovely page!
Yes, a very nice page, Mark...
Cheers
Just added 16 pages of art to my CAF. I wont also add them here as that would be overkill! But come over and have a look at my gallery.
There is some new Hicklenton Nemesis, some Ezquerra ABC and more Mick Austin!
And I love knowing peoples thoughts on the art so feel free to comment!
Click my little globe to be whisked there!
Just had a look, Skullmo and got to say, some really great stuff there..... :D
For me ( along with the Nemesis pieces, and the Dredd by Karl Richardson and the fabulous Bisley), the 'stand out' piece is the 2000AD Yearbook back cover......No doubt other folks have mentioned it, but that is just an astonishing piece of artwork !!... :D
When I first looked at it, I thought it was a 'model figurine' sitting on top of the artwork, and was actually saying to myself " I can't believe he's even got a cup of tea sitting on top of his artwork " before realising......... Dohh !!.... :-[ ......I didn't even realise ( till later ) the pencils weren't real either !!
On even closer inspection, it's just an absolutely amazing piece.....A real trompe l'oeil.....Wonderful, wonderful stuff.
Cheers and Thanks for sharing....
:D Glad you like it. I am really pleased to own that one, especially as I love Mick Austin's art. It really is a Mick Grail!
:D
. . . . . . . . new page . . . . . coming soon
:lol: (worst teaser ever)
That teaser does not meet the standard expected of this thread. You need to include some concrete detail. For instance, is there a man on the page?

That is true - I was going to include a snippet, however photobucket has been blocked at work :-(
It has 2 men on it! In battle . . . It is definitely one for the old skool fans and not the modern art collectors out there. Judge Jack may even like it - even though he is in his mid-art crisis.
I don't remember 2000AD running an adaptation of 'Women in Love'...
I don't remember 2000AD running an adaptation of 'Women in Love'... :lol:
I just realised - It's not even 2000ad!
Close enough though :-P
So this is a page from something other than 2000AD, and features two men, fighting... Hmmm.
I like a bit of art detective work as much as the next art geek, but we need a leetle more to go on, señor...
How many arms do these two fighting men have?

There's nothing better than a comic where you have to ask that...
And nothing better than when you actually have check the amount of arms, as I just did!
OK - just got home. Here is the teaser image. It was supposed to be delivered today but the postman never turned up! :-( I think there will be some people who guess just from this. :lol:

What is it defo not this one, its was my firstst guess but I'm convinced its thats the one. Weird.
So whilst Skullmo is being a big old tease, I'll pop up a couple of pages I recently picked up. Does everyone know I like Shakara? I'm not sure if I mentioned it before, or not? Anyway, just in case I haven't mentioned it before - well - I like Shakara :D
This is a real cliffhanger from the final book. What will become of everyone's favourite alien avenging machine after Cinnabar has put his fist through most of his upper anatomy?
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/2000ADProg1726ShakaraBk5Pt14Pg6_zpscf7b5daa.jpg)
And I really like Zombo too, so was pleased to pick this cover up - which is my favourite Zombo cover. I think it captures the big old half man, half zombie in his more playful side... ;)
(http://i1345.photobucket.com/albums/p670/SimeonB1/Comic%20Art/2000ADProg1675Cover_zps80db9684.jpg)
Great pages - especially that Shakara one. Henry's a Modern Marvel.
Cheers ming. I got asked a little while ago what I thought was special about Henry's work. My answer was one word. Energy. I don't think anyone can put as much motion and movement into a piece of art as Henry can. Genius. Simple as that!

Flint's art is indeed a cause for celebration.
(Though im kinda torn between him and Colin MacNeil, as to who i think is the best. Not that it really matters, their both the mutt's...)

Having seen Henry's TV doodles in the fantastic
Broadcast book he put out, and being familiar with the insane energy and imagination he instills in his work, he strikes me as being cut from the same kind of Slightly Mad Art God Cloth as Brendan McCarthy. Both of them, it appears to me, have a bubbling mass of artistic sparks and visions in their brain-things that constantly need an outlet; if this stuff doesn't find an exit via the medium of pen and paper then I'm not quite sure what would happen (but either of them could probably draw it rather well).

(I chopped up the Strontium Dog colour spread in that issue as I sent a letter or drawing to Star Lord and the bloody strip popularity voting coupon was on the other side of the page.)
Must dig up my Star Lords.
Just a fantastic page Skullmo..... :o
Love the pages that have the original 'overlay' with them......
Well done on capturing that beauty !!..... :D

Another charming Hicklenton Nemesis Deathbringer page here. I love the detail on Torquemada's spine bursting out.
And, as has been pointed out to me, Nemesis makes an appearance. Can anyone spot him?

Detail of Torq's spine:

that's a class Hicklenton page, just love all the textures, is their some more goodies just under the page poking out top right?
Of course! I always have something new lurking :-)
Is tht nemesis running in from the left of the page?
Regardless, lovely page of art. I find it hard to believe the amount of grief that Hicklenton's art used to get back in the day....I recall that there was a whole dreddlines dedicated to him basically defending himself...
I'm delighted that folks seem to have come around to his own peculiar brand of twisted genius and great to see so much of his original works appearing on this thread.
Well done! You have correctly identified the tiny Nemesis :-)
Isn't that also Nemesis in frame 4?

That was the first one I spotted; the second (running) figure is a bit hard to be sure of from this pic, but the legs seem to indicate it's Nemesis.

Aye a real knockout piece. Id love a Massimo piece at some point, but congrats on snagging this!
And Skullmo, for it is he, recently passed this onto me - no doubt to help swell the Slaine purchasing fund,

I always assumed that these weird annual stories were reprints from valiant/hotspur etc - if these were actual first appearances, they were probably in a drawer at the publishers left over from some comic that went bust!
Brilliant - I loved that story (but then, I'm a sucker for anything remotely Dennis Wheatley-ish.)
IIRC it was a leftover from the stories Mills had devised for the first issue like the Visible Man.
It got a sequel in the 2000ad Action Special, the one with the revamped Steel Claw and Spider. It would still be Rebellions property, an interesting one to see some sort of continuation.
I've never read Dr Sin but it looks great! Congrats on more great art Dale.
Here is something else nice. I love the style Carlos was using here (admittedly I love all his styles). The grey wash gives the art a lovely finish. Very pleased to have this one!

Really fantastic!
Some nice pages on here. That Doctor Sin looks great - a real throw back - lovely to see. Keeping the old time machine in good working order there, Dale. :)
And I do like that Carlos style, Skullmo. Possibly one of the nicest Carlos pages I've seen on here. Well done, sir!

Very Nice Strontium Dog page ....throws me right back to 1979 ....
Say hello to me as a baby while you are there.
Taken from issue 8 of Starlord. Cover dated - 1st of July
1978. Still a baby, or now simply a sperm?? :lol:
Just a boring old sperm!
A bit like I am now!
Here's a little guessing game for you all, this piece of art was just delivered by the postman today - its entitled "Kirby Dredd" - I belive it was published but i don't know when - I've photoshopped the artists name out - any ideas
(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b498/oska17/kirbydredd-blank_zpse73912b9.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/oska17/media/kirbydredd-blank_zpse73912b9.jpg.html)
Its not the Brendan McCarthy one we saw recently. So I'll take to stabs at either the obvious guess Shaky Kane or Edmund Bagwell who I know does a lot of Kirby inspired stuff.
Either way lovely piece.
Gotta be Shaky Kane!
I'm goin for Bagwell!
Easy.
Ben Willsher.
(http://www.benwillsher.co.uk/images/Kirby_Dredd.jpg)
Brilliant piece BTW.
Ha- brilliant piece.
lol @ Rusty Lee
Dam - Good work Supersufer - thought I might drag that one out a bit longer
And here is the spiritual brother to that "Willsher Does Kirby" Dredd cover, which resides in my collection! This time with added mutants :)

That's is my favourite Willsher piece! He does a great chin there too.
Damn that Willsher and his uncanny ability to draw in several different styles!
Don't know how those artists can do it!

That is a beautiful Kirby-tastic piece of art. I have serious envy
Love these 'faux' covers. Mr Ben comes up with the goods yet again.
And this kinda reminds me of that cover, by Henry Flint, for the FCBD issue of 2000ad. Think somebody mentioned that the art was destined for e-Bay, but i dont think they ever showed up there...
ok not Original art .... but the Original pages used .... ( there is some original background inking on the Nemesis pieces ... could have been Kev Oneill ??? ) so all stats really ...

Brilliant stuff Dale, you are tracking them down slowly but surely!
A couple of Moon Runners pages by the Maestro Massimo Belardinelli. These are both signed as well, which is nice!
Title page - I love the monster on here (not having read Moon Runners I am not sure what it is).

Stuff like this, you would imagine, wouldnt survive the years, or would be considered fairly disposable?
But a nice look behind the scenes. Brilliant stuff, :thumbsup:
Yeah, very nice to see those, Dale - really something a bit special.
A few stats and painted pages ....

Love looking at all that worthy but slightly off the beaten path artwork.
Dez Skinn writes about the design rationale of that era of covers here.

Great to see these Dale, thanks for sharing them. Especially like the Visible Man and Harry 20...
The Harry 20 and Rogue Trooper ones are just fantastic - I'm a huge fan of paste up covers. I used to work for a newspaper years ago and so have a special place for sticking things down for print.
I love the stats , mainly because i cannot find the originals .... and they were printed ,my collecting ethos is not printed stay away ...
Forgot about this cover .... which was printed ...

hhhmmmm not so sure.......i think Dale is holding out on us :o
If Dale posted all his art the thread would snap

I wondered who'd bought this! Lovely stuff from Ron and well done on negotiating it down to a 'real' price instead of the comedy listing!
Awesome. Great to see this went your way, Iain!
Nice stuff Iain.
Was ogling these on EBay, but thought they were a tadge overpriced.
If money was no object however...!
Ian Senior is one of the best art sellers, i think. His listed prices are as high as you'd expect to see, but he does do deals - and pretty good ones at that.
And as a side note; People may have seen this before it was sold on e-Bay, but 'Judge under arrest' #14 was interesting, as it came with alternative art for the shot of the Judge being adapted for life on Titan.
A nice little curio i thought.

Here is a little piece I picked up recently from the US. I always like me a bit of Greg Staples painted art, especially if it is a naked green man in hat with a rat on his shoulder
The seller was great and exceptionally helpfull when it came to shipping the art and dealing with Ebay's new "International Seller postage system" - the most cra*py thing Ebay have introduced in years.
(http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b498/oska17/finkandratty_zpse85bdb85.jpg) (http://s1288.photobucket.com/user/oska17/media/finkandratty_zpse85bdb85.jpg.html)
Very nice DS.
Don't recall seeing that Fink piece before. Looks like its a mid-90's Staples piece.
I was told it was from a trading card series done in the 90's
Cool.
I had a look at that, DS, but this bloody International Sales thing on eBay put me off. How did you get round it (and congrats, BTW, it's a lovely piece, and glad it has a good home).
What's this international sales business; I haven't bought anything from abroad on ebay recently so whatever this is has passed me by...
Not sure exactly how it works, but eBay take the import duty and other taxes on payment - so you don't have to pay it when it arrives. Or something like that...
Ebay is getting so annoying. And why does Paypal now take about 3 weeks to pay money from your account?
Ebay have now decided that if you enter their international mail system you send any packages to their distribution centre rahter than the the buyer directly.
Ebay then work out postage to the UK and here is the worst part the import charges, so you pay import tax on what are in many cases second hand goods
The buyer who sold me the Fink art agreed to re-list the piece at the price I got it for at a set time. We then did the deal again and they just posted to me direclty at a fraction of the cost, opting out of the international mail system
It can push the cost of things through the roof - be careful if you are buying art from the US

Bought a page from a 2000AD creator recently.
He got in touch a day after the purchase had been made, asking if I could give him positive feedback (even though I hadn't received the art). I had no problem doing so as he's a nice chap who I dealt with before.
The reason he asked; Ebay now don't allow the Paypal fund to go through to the seller's account until they have received positive feedback! I'm not an Ebay seller, so was a little bit surprised by that.
The iPad app for Ebay has become less than useless since the last update too- a f*cking nightmare trying to find stuff from international sellers, it's almost like they don't want me to buy anything from outside the Republic...
I ditched selling anything on Ebay last year - their customer service is terrible! And these new changes just make it sound even worse!

Quote from: Dandontdare on 29 October, 2013, 02:05:39 PM

It was in a large shopping Centre in an Irish town called Dun Laoghaire. The vending machine was in a really non descript place beside a newsagent at one of the exists. Was a big one too, like a sweet/drink machine but full of rows of cards.
There were other packets of cards too (I think I also bought a pack of Baywatch ones...or wait, maybe it was Barbed Wire. The main point of interest was Pamela Anderson's boobage anyway :lol:)
But yeah, was weird as not only had I never seen a trading card vending machine before (or since!), but the fact that it had Dredd cards...weird.

We're lucky he doesn't normally take the George Lucas approach.
That's a lovely iconic page.
And the pain's just a bonus. :)
Dunk!
Yeah, a really nice McMahon page from a classic story. That page has bounced around more than one of Dredd's ricochet rounds in recent years, though.
Meanwhile, I'm happy to report that I have absolutely NO new art on the horizon and am even *shudder* considering pruning a few more pieces just to keep things neat and tidy around here. It's hard to say what'll go and what'll stay, really... We'll see.
:)
Amazing page Dale!
Obviously one of my favourites. And the most important page in the story. It pretty much sums up all of the Judge Minty fan film in that one page.

Hmmmm, would this be the 'marmite' artist you referred to earlier this week?
Lovely pages - those last two are from that series called Wireheads, I think. The b&w page reminds me of Simon Jacob's work. Some nice early 90's stuff there.
Oooh - I love the Fervent & Lobe stuff, particularly the colour one. I think I once tried to make myself a t-shirt with that image on it.

I am happy to own a few pages .... and a few will be sold off ...
Good to hear Dale. Like Greg, I was a big fan of that Indigo Prime story.
Something about those pages practically
oozes late 80s / early 90s nostalgia.
Did you find out what Hadley's up to these days?
Hadley's a Droid that never quite 'fitted in'.
The nearest was the Indigo Prime story, he always seemed to be mismatched with the story, really good artist.
QuoteIt's hard to say what'll go and what'll stay, really...

Loving the cover of last weeks Prog (1856) and having always wanted a 2000ad cover since I started buying art I decided to e-mail Carl, as no harm in asking, right. Did'nt expect to be able to get it. One great deal later from the always lovely Carl and here it is.

All normal cliches about in the Flesh (yes, yes the pun is terrible and was intended) count here to. Its glorious.
On one hand I'd still love to own an older cover, a complete image with the logo stuck on, on the other love the insight you get into the creative process with all the extra stuff Carl sent (more pictures at my Comic Art Fans page if anyone fancies http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1066955 (http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1066955)). Mind having said all that what's better than a 2000ad cover, why I 2000ad cover with a cowboy fighting a dinosaur of course, so I'm extremely happy to have bagged this one.
Lovely stuff! You beat me to it...
Whoops sorry about that Mark. For what its worth having once again spent a fun few minutes looking through your collection it vives me great pleasure to know someone with a collection like yours is interested in pieces I'm picking up I must be doing something right!
Of course if you want to swap for that Dante cover :lol:

Nice one. I didn't really pay enough attention to that cover on the Prog. It's funny how the smallest things jump out but I really love the way the dino shadow falls across the cowboy there. Even more interesting to see how the cover is composed of those separate elements and that shadow is added later.
Glad you bagged this cover, Colin. I know you've been looking for one for a little while, so just proves that patience is a virtue in this game!

Fook patience, i want a 2000ad cover, and i want it now! ;)
But congrats on snagging this cover Colin.
Nice to see those additional images over on CAF, showing how it all came together.
Always nice to get a sneaky peek into the process.
Had a few hours and found a few complete Dredd Storys by Paul Marshall and Mike Hadley

Alongside (or above) Ron Smith and Carlos Ezquerra.
The Ron Smith Page is from Rabid (if anyone knows the owner of pages 1-3, I'd be interested, please send me a PM) and Carlos' Apocalpyse War page with Judge Libermans failed Emergency Stop.
Cracking stuff, judgerufian.
Really love Leigh's take on Dredd. And of course, you just cant go wrong with Ron and Carlos. Nice vintage pieces!

Its a great page with some really deft brushwork by Smith plus this was the first JD episode I read which makes it a nostalgia trip too.

At those prices that may be the only one of the twentyfive sold. Way too expensive for what they are and I've bought some crap merchandise :-[

Jaysus Skullmo, that collection of yours is really something else at this point. Keep up the good work! :)
I will try. I graciously accept donations to improve my collection and hope to have at least one item which will pop your socks off by Christmas!

Grr - Lovely page Greg :)
I was at my mum's house the other day and took some pics of some early art I bought and had framed when I lived there, its been there for years and I never think to ask for it back - Its in the toilet no less
Here's the first one - a very silly piece by Siku which I really like

Wish me luck! . . . News soon . . .
(well it has been slow here lately)
A John Burns Nikolai Dante page has been on my list to buy at some point. I've not been in a particular hurry since I've felt that I could buy one direct from him at a convention. However, this page was just too good to pass up.
(http://www.compalcomics.com/comics/115.jpg) (http://www.compalcomics.com/catalogue/lot115.htm)
I don't usually buy double page spreads, but this one is (I think) just small enough to fit into an A2 portfolio. Definitely one I'd like to find wall space for, but that will have to wait until the extension. However, this massive Brendan McCarthy Mekon is going over my fireplace as soon as I've reseated it in it's frame and added the picture wire.

Damn you Wake; I had a bid on that!
I have in my wish-list a Dante page with Dante swashbuckling. I think Wake's page must be the very definition of that - its bloomin' exquisite!
I have never seen buckles swashed so well!
That's all manner of glorious, isn't it. Congrats Wake!

Now there we agree whole heartedly. When I suggested that a while ago after I reviewed on the review threads there was great debate on this matter. Many thought it was best left as a nice self-contained short story. While often I agree with this view in this instance I really felt there was more to explore and more stories to be told in the world that Milligan and Wright recreated. I'd have loved to have seen more.

Great stuff, Skullmo! I love Tony Riot's style from this period; in my mind it feels similar to McCarthy doodling as Loaf and late 1980s E.C Perriman (Edmund Bagwell; anyone remember 'A Single English Rose' from Blaam!?).
A gem of a set there Skullmo, well done.
Hi all, a couple pages from my collection that will be going up for sale soon:

I've just taken a photo of my new Dante page. I'm looking forward to finding a place to display it (but it might have to wait until my house has been extended...which is the plan for 2014).

Well while to some it might seem dramatic to extend your house just to put this up on the wall for me I think its a wise and judicious decision. That is a simply beautiful page.
What... huh... what do you mean he's not extending it just put the picture up... no I'm sure he is....
Hi all, just to let those asking, both the Orlok and Death page have been sold and are on their way to a good home. I've a few other pieces i might be selling, just debating if i can be parted from them yet.

Hi all,
I had a few requests for what I had left to sell, so here we are. I've had these for years but needs must.

But really happy to have gotten these from
redbaz. I know these had to be let go of to create some funds, but they've gone to a good home.
Kev's art seems to split opinion a bit (if my online conversations are owt to go by), but personally, I love it.
A nice Mignola feel to this period of his art. And definitely one of the best of the latter day Dredd artist's.
And the Sin City/Devil's Island is a firm fave. Great story, and great art.
And now a question for the HIVE MIND....
This story ran a good while before I started prog buying again, so ive only got the well read trade for this.
Can anyone pinpoint the exact progs these two pages appeared in?
Its safe to say the last page is from prog 1299, but not totally sure about the first page - maybe prog 1200?
Any help on this would be brilliant, :thumbsup:

not prog 1200, ::)

Indigo Prime : Almaranda in Solstice it was a spin off from Fervent and Lobe , just a 12pg story , that could have gone on longer ...
I've decided to offer this up for sale or trade. There are a couple of pieces I'm going to chase first but if anybody would like to get early offers in then feel free...

Yup, The Pack from 1041 in 1996
Written by Wagner
I've got a page from that story. It's a real beaut. Congrats eamonn1961!
It's a lovely page alright, I remember it in the prog the first time around :)
Thanks. all
Here is Mr Flint with the page at Thought Bubble (and a bit of shadow)

I've been wanting a Charlie Adlard page for a while, and finally picked up a Dante page
(http://i1300.photobucket.com/albums/ag93/jmcaples/2013-12-31180443_zps27dc4431.jpg)
Nice page, I've been circling some of the Adlard Dante pages on EBay like a vulture for a while now.
Might get one of his Dredds from Dale instead...
A friend of mine picked this up for me in the states and brought it back over Christmas
Its not large in size but its a great piece. The colours are fantastic.
I understand its from the 2000ad trading card series

Heh, I can just picture Mean (having lost his inferior 'real' arm) trying to change the setting of his dial... :lol:
A nice example of Mick's chunkiest era!

Remember the blue label edition that IDW brought out for the Complete Carlos Ezquerra?
Well, they included a piece of original art by Carlos, and the books themselves were hideously expensive.
And this chap is selling 5 of the pieces of art off - here (http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=152769)
Now how the hell could he afford to buy 'em in the first place??
Hmmmm that is curious - he must work for IDW or something because a lot of the art he has is the blue label inserts
I was digging across some of my older art and came across this framed piece - I think this was one of the first I bought - sorry for the photo quailty taken on my phone. I think its the final page from the first Sinister Dexter graphic novel

Hey Wake, why no heads up on the flood of new Flint art on your website???
Two of my favourite pieces have been snapped up already!
Wake lets the comicart-uk (http://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/comicart-uk/info) Yahoo! group know when he has new stuff and he posted it onto Facebook (you need to get that sorted, Link!).
Signing up to the Yahoo group is probably the easiest thing to do...

Don't think it's best putting the pictures on Wot I Ate On My Holidays, Link. Probably best we put them on this thread instead ;)
As promised here is what I picked up from Sir Wakefield of Carter today. I do love a bit of Day of Chaos. You almost could say that I am collecting it ;)
The chaos of the search along with PJ Maybe, alone with his thoughts:

And a great dark judges and PJ Maybe page. Really chuffed with this one:

I appreciate the industrial and commercial reasons for computer colouring all Dredd stories as standard, but covering up those pages with pixels is a crime. Congratulations and thanks for sharing those with us, Simeon.
Cracking stuff Simeon.
Predictably, that Dark Judges page was the one my coveting sensors overheated on.
Great stuff Simeon would love that one with the dark judges
A lovely brace of DoC's, SB - always good to see more from this EPIC TALE pop up, especially pages by Mr Flint!
I also had a delivery from 'Sir Wakefield of Carter' - Many thanks, Wake!
(http://i.imgur.com/a0aYvCL.jpg)
Lovely stuff, JJ. This wasn't the other page you wanted was it Link? :)
Henry Flint's work is wonderful!
Those Day of Chaos pages are absolutely gorgeous in black and white, would love to see a collected volume like that!

Beautiful.

Sorry about that. I normally do post here too, but there were already quite a few people interested and some of the pages were pre-reserved.
I also have some cool Zombo pages that aren't up yet (because I haven't confirmed which stories they come from).

You're welcome! And completely right about that logo. One of, if not
the, best logos ever to grace the pages of the Galaxy's Greatest...
I certainly ripped off that logo in every bit of lettering I did in art for ages after I read the issue of 2000ad Monthly that reprinted that story. Having the characters lounging around on it as if it was a concrete construction struck me as unspeakably droll.
Do you think the fact that Brother, the ship's avatar, seems to have been pasted into that bottom frame means that he was drawn in his original jester form by mistake? Kennedy had drawn him as a hippie a few times by that point, so maybe Cam just wasn't happy with his original stab at the character. I think Mark should destroy his new prize possession by peeling the patch back to see for sure.

You need to upload your image to a hosting site, like photobucket (http://photobucket.com/), first. Copy and paste the new web address the site assigns to your image into your post on this forum, highlight it, then click on the icon above that looks like a painting (above
happy smiley, below
B for bold). The address should now have
[/img] at the end, and
[img] at the start.
Click the icon marked
preview (below) to make sure your image will appear in the body of your post, rather than as a disappointing sequence of HTML characters.
I use imgur.com but it's the same process as above...
Collected these two wonderful pieces this morning. Mick McMahon art for the Epic(?) card series. These are about the size of a standard photo (4"x6") and just so beautifully detailed...

All is forgiven Wake- I received my slice of Flinty goodness in the post yesterday.
One of the more horrifying Day of Chaos pages, and beautifully rendered.
I only wish I could have afforded two!

That's one hell of an impressive haul, with the War Zombie page the real stand-out (for me, anyway.) Fantastic piece!
What Greg said.
I'd forgotten how good Steve Dillon's Rogue was...
(http://i.imgur.com/4xMrI9V.jpg)
This page perfectly sums up the DoC for me, especially the bottom two panels.
The belief that the threat has been contained, and the reality of the matter...
And in a lesser comic, 'smokin' hot babe' Titiana would have probably have gotten her own strip, but in the House of Tharg , she goes from this, to a complete mess, to a pecked at corpse in the space of a handful of pages.
Some jolly good pages there, Dale. I'm with my man Link on the Rogue page and those Cursed Earth pages are something quite lovely.
JJ - you've done it again! Another great page from DoC.
Thats one of my favourite pages from DoC, JJ. It was that precise moment that it hit me that things where about to get really bad for MC1.

The Hondo-City page is wonderful but I'm not sure about the 'subliminal' message! :lol:
Great Quitley pages Dale.
To think he wasn't highly rated (in the Megs letter pages) back in the day... unconscionable.
And another Flint gem there Iain.
I'm currently negotiating a page with a well known 2000AD artist, if it falls through I'll be back for more Flint!
Always loved his Missionary Man work, they're some great pages Dale!

I'm currently negotiating a page with a well known 2000AD artist, if it falls through I'll be back for more Flint!
Good luck with the 'well known 2000ad artist' Rich. Sounds most intriguing!
And more Flint is always a good thing.
Yes good luck - looking forward to seeing what you get :-)
Another tick off the list as I bag a Bagwell! Another Day Of Chaos artist scored and another lovely page for my collection. Edmund is usually digital, but he decided to pen this episode to then tidy up digitally. And thank The Maker he did!
This is the first page from Tea For Two, where Dredd goes to visit his niece...

As I have said elsewhere, very nice indeed!
Oh well done. I always thought Edmund Bagwell worked digitally as you say. Didn't realise he did some work in pencil. Maybe my wish if getting an Indigo Prime page from him isn't as impossible as I first thought...

Get in line creep!
Very nice Simeon.
So it is actually inked, Col, which is really rather exciting. You can see where he pencilled, then inked over it.
I have no idea why he decided to ink this story - it was lucky for me, though! He said to me it was pretty rough and I'd have to forgive him for that.... Artists are so funny sometimes... :D
Lovely art! Edmund Bagwell's an amazing artist that I'd love to see more of in the Prog or Meg or, preferably, both. He's also a complete gent as I found out when he sent me this sketch for Project Sketchbook. (http://forums.2000adonline.com/index.php/topic,39617.msg801974.html#msg801974)
That he is, Ming, and super-busy too. I first enquired about that page of mine on the 7th July 2013! And here we are in February 2014! Ha Ha! Worth the wait, though. :)
And loving the sketchbook thread, fella. Awesome stuff! What a great project!
Ahh very nice this page is! And a great addition to your collection!

Lovely stuff
SB!
Mega well done on snagging this lovely art from Mr Bagwell. :thumbsup:
And in terms of DoC art - rarer than Hen's teeth!
And a huge THANK YOU goes out to Mr Simeon, as Mr Postman delivers some mighty goodness originating from the other side of the world.

Mr Bagwell's contribution to the DoC. A cracking little interlude, and a chance to catch your breath, before rushing headlong to the climax.
Really pleased to have gotten this page - always loved that detail in the top right hand side panel.
Its not looking good for these Juves. Taking on Dredd has pretty much doomed them. And even if they could come out the other side unscathed, one of them has just sneezed!
Lovely stuff, JJ.
For something drawn a little closer to home, how about the cover to Prog 1701 by Mr Leigh Gallagher? Two sets of new art dropping within two days... How lovely!

Oh - and I almost forgot - I asked Leigh about whether he had the production design to his new look for Dredd still. It's got a bit trodden on and crumpled, but it is now in my possesion. I've taken the photo from Leigh's own blog about how all this came about, so if you are interested head over there now!

Nice stuff boys.
Bagwell's page layouts seem almost like a montage.
I assume he scans each individual panel into sequence with those created digitally?
The (hand drawn) Bagwell pages are pretty much the same as the published version's (Well at a glance, I've yet to fully compare....).
So the page is pencilled and then inked. Then scanned into his computer to have a wee bit of digital work done to tidy up, and also to add the panel borders.
Why this part should be left 'til later, I've no idea.
Isn't Bagwell now largely a digital artist? So im glad, for whatever reason, he decided to hand draw these.
Mr Simeon may know a bit more about it all.
Not much more to add, JJ. The panel borders are drawn in pencil, with the drawings butting right up to them so they almost appear to run into each other. Just the way he chose to work on this episode, I guess!
Only missing the panel boarders eh?
I actually thought there were panels from different pages on the same art board- guess I should've checked the Prog.
Very nice regardless- Bagwell is a real talent.
It does throw you when the panel boarder's aren't draw in.
When SB first mailed me the scan's that Edmund had sent, I did think - for a split second, that the panel's were all separated and loose.
Well, no panel borders is just too different and new for my liking. I fear it...
Make it stop, make it stop!
Lovely art from Mr.Bagwell - hope to see more from him in the Prog / Meg soon.
I was lucky enough to pick up a few pages of art ... here is a selection .

F--kin HELL Dale....
Sweet Jovus, Dale. That's quite a selection.
They are all amazing dale but that Fabry piece is something special!! :o
Sweet baby Jovus! All that in one place must be mind blowing!
M.
Holy God... those McMahon pages were up for sale a year or so ago (I think). I'd have given my eye teeth for one of them, but there's no way I could persuade the missus to let me spend the asking price.
*seethes with envy*
Cheers
Jim
Lovely.
Do come to Thought Bubble again this year, Dale, and bring the Slaines just so I can oogle them. :)
Dunk!
Jim - different Slaine pages, I think (these have been locked away in a collection for years unless I haven't been paying attention).
A fantastic haul, Dale - and just the tip of the iceberg (art-berg?).
I dread to think what you had to trade / pay for that lot.
Out of curiosity, what proportion will you keep? I just figure with the lengths you went to to secure that staggering amount of art, there must have been at least a few keepers involved. Or is it all to be passed on?
My mind boggles at the high-end art dealing game, it really does. Still, makes me glad I'm (semi-) retired from all this and can just watch from the sidelines ;)
Don't drink anything Dunk offers you Dale!

Non of these pages have been available before ..
Payment i don't like to think about it , since i really do need a new car and house ...
As for keeping certain pages , yes of course i am a collector first , the dealing is so i can buy more ..
And i if i remember i will bring them .... bring your Halo's thou ...
Here is a little Silent Slaine , i forget which issue ..

Just sell that Killing Joke page you got and bingo problem solved!
Great game (for me at least) is to look over those pages and decide if you could just have one, just one, which would it be. I found it surprisingly hard.
I'd love to see one of those McMahon Slaine's in the flesh. Just to see the inking close up.
Love the McMahon Slaine pages there. What are their dimensions?

Want... ;)
That must be the first original SMS I've seen. Nice one, skullmo!
Lovely page. Always thought SMS was Underrated.
Hello all, just took a few snaps of my own original artwork, some of these are long overdue for framing.
Judge Dredd, "The Apocalypse War" (aborted cover design sketch for Titan graphic novel) by Carlos Ezquerra.
Original "Robot Wars" page by Ian Gibson from 2000AD Prog 17.
Blackhawk 2000AD Prog 137 by Massimo Belardinelli.
"Portrait of a Politician" 2000AD Prog 367 by Ron Smith
and
"In The Year 2120" 2000AD Prog 1077 by Jason Brashill and Dondie Cox.
Great stuff, ed - that Robot Wars page is particularly nice!
Cheers bud, that is my fave of the bunch :thumbsup:
Ed
Yeah I love the Robot wars and the Ezquerra design, a cracking set of artworks!
Thank you :thumbsup:
Ed
Yea, that Robot Wars is the pick of the bunch. Lovely! And good to see SMS getting some love finally!
Cracking stuff all, ed - but special mention must go to the Gibson page.
Very nice indeed. And gotta love the Carlos prelim (Ive two of those myself).
Thanks folks, I'm so glad I picked up that Gibson page when I did, I do recall there were a few of the Ezquerra sketches available at the same time (I think I've still got the AAAAGH gallery ad sheet with them on along with a few by Mr Bolland).
I really like this page but it's a wallet drainer right now ;)

They do offer small-ish discounts if you ask nicely....
But yes, ive often stopped by there, and drooled over a particular page. Im guessing the bulk of the money raised goes direct to Carlos for these?
Yes! I asked Arthur Ransom about this and they sell on behalf of the artists.

Arthur Ranson must have one of the mis-spelt names in all of comicdom. Don't get me started on Flint Henry though...
If only the 'm' and 'n' weren't next to each other on the bloody keyboard stupid mistakes like that could be avoided!
norom
Hey!
Thanks for the heads up on the possible discount, I'll keep that in mind when that purchasing urge comes calling again ;)
Ed
Oh dear...going out on a limb here. This is not 2000AD art, so please accept my apologies for butting in here - but since it's for a good cause and since you're all collectors of original work, well, I hope you don't mind the interruption - See, the picture below can be won for the price of a raffle ticket....
I submitted an ink drawing to the charity raffle (linked below) and the money will go to Acorns Children's Hospice...
The artwork is large, slightly bigger than A3, and is inked right to the edges. It's one of my drawings for the new Judge Dredd Gamebook from Tinman Games, so it will appear in the game in some form...anyway, it's for a good cause and you can buy a raffle ticket from anywhere.

Always loved Higgins' painted Dredd stories.
There aren't many Glenn Fabry Sláine pages I like as much as this one. In fact, Fabry art doesn't get much better than this.
This page has pretty much everything; Ukko, Sláine in normal, warping and full-warp mode, epic battle charge... And the amount of detail is insane.

Lovely page, and yes the amount of detail is quite staggering.
And that spiked ball club is well placed in that bottom right hand side panel, ;-)

Hah! And luckily, Sláine's tackle doesn't seem to swell to the same grotesque proportions as the rest of him...
Picked up this page from the marvellous Chris Weston at the London Super Con. Anyone know where it's from?
Finally snagged a Dillon Dredd..

Lovely, early Dillon with his more feathery (brush?) inking.

Got out-bid by a million percent last time there were some on Ebay. :'(
Yeah, early Dillon Dredd (or anything) is hard to beat; such solid work.

Yes, but by the looks of it, only after someone made a paper aeroplane and then scrunched it up into a ball.
Other than that, lovely!
Well - there is only one of each page. Consider them laughter lines!
Great snag, Skullmo. "Winds are 2,000 M.P.H!" Great stuff!
An absolutely gorgeous piece of painted art from the incredibly talented brush of Mr Ian Gibson. This cover was used for 'The Best of 2000AD Monthly #75 as well as the DC/Rebellion edition of the 'Day of the Droids' trade paperback collection. Massive thanks to the forum's very own fatboydale for saving this for me...

Lovely vibrant colours on these Mark - especially the Mean/Dredd piece. :thumbsup:
Very nice pieces. Gotta love a bit o' Hairsine's work.
Rico and Hammerstein. Great image. Is that a Stallone movie in-joke?

They were produced for the Collectors' Edge card series in '95. Some of the cards featured stills from the film while the rest were original pieces by 2000AD artists hence we get Hammerstein and Rico.
The Hershey and Rico pieces are A4, the Dredd/Mean piece is A3 (painted area is 10" x 14")
My source remains secret! Ain't no-one gonna gazzump me on these...
All lovely, but I think the version of Rico tops the lot - incredibly creepy.
Wonderful Hippy! These are really great pieces and Hairsine has always been a favourite artist of mine, especially in his 'McMahon period'.
...And keeping the Hairsine ball rolling a wee bit longer; Dredd and Hammerstein.

Lovely.
Apparently (according to The Sisters of Mercy book:Heartland) Andrew Eldritch and Doktor Avalanche (:D) sought out Messrs Harrison and McKenzie upon seeing this in order to commision them to design his 1989 tour program.

I'm extremely dubious about that story because:
1) The Sisters didn't tour in 1989.
2) ISTR someone (whose name eludes me) recounting how they arranged to have that issue of 2000AD passed to Eldritch via Rodney Orpheus (I shit you not) who was playing keyboards for the Sisters at the time. The report that came back suggested that Von was
not amused...

I'm in work today, but pulled that story from the(slightly fuzzy) memory bank, I can't remember if they toured Vision Thing in 89/90/or whenever...but I can certainly get the article for you if like.
I'm not a Goth, but a big fan of The Sisters, in fact I'm so not a Goth in looks that when I met the Man himself back in the 90s he thought I was joshing him when I told him I was a fan, he only believed me when I started discussing Marian with him...

I was dubious. I'm still dubious about the assertion in the article: there are no direct sources to back it up, and the '91 tour didn't feature any Harrison art on any flyers I saw. You have an unattributed printed source to back up your version, I have an unverified personal anecdote from (I think) uk.people.gothic for mine. I like to think Eldritch is a humourless prick when it comes to this sort of thing. There is a ton of evidence on my side. :-)

Quote from: hippynumber1 on 18 April, 2014, 10:19:21 PM

Given that there's only one of each of these items, surely it's for the seller to determine the price and the market to decide whether it's "over the odds"? If it sells at that price, clearly it's not overpriced. If it doesn't sell, the price will come down.
Capitalism. It's not tricky.
Cheers
Jim
Except that the vast majority of pages on that site don't sell and the prices never drop. This is all purely from using my observational skills you understand and is merely one opinion among many. There are pages on that site I would love to own but never will because I consider them overpriced. That's not tricky to understand either...
Then, presumably, the vendor isn't THAT fussed about selling. If they were, they'd lower the price. They're not obligated to offer at a price you can afford -- I certainly can't afford any of that. Something is only overpriced if you can buy it cheaper elsewhere, which plainly isn't the case if the item is unique.
I was actually only commenting on the apparent sudden dump of primo Dave Gibbons. I'm not on fucking commission or anything.
Cheers
Jim
It's not the case that I can't afford them, just that I won't pay those prices! Yes, they're unique but when I can buy 4 pages directly from an artist for the same price I can buy one page from Artdroids I know which I'm going to opt for! I wasn't suggesting you were on commission and agree that there is some really gorgeous work for sale (Graham Coton's Starlord cover for eg) but it should be flying 'off the shelves'. It's a shame...
Quote from: Jim_Campbell on 18 April, 2014, 11:14:03 PM
Something is only overpriced if you can buy it cheaper elsewhere, which plainly isn't the case if the item is unique.
On many different sites, and from many different sellers, you'll find plenty of examples of original art not selling.
Simply because the owner has priced them up way beyond the going rate.
And whilst each page is unique and a one-off, not all pages are equal. In terms of content, or the price attached. Often better and cheaper examples can be found, or pop up unexpectedly.
Gotta be quick though, as these tend not to hang around...

That article is from the last page of Heartland:issue 4 (Reptile House publishing approved), if you haven't read them you should, they're really good. Very funny in parts.
Have you ever met Eldritch? He's actually dead sound, sorry to ruin any preconceptions.. ;)
In fairness, when I did, he had a bleached blonde crew-cut, which was humorous enough!!
Ps: Artdroids is a little pricey, I have several pages of Biz ABCs that cost nowhere near his ones and mine are better!! ;)

According to David McDonald's brilliant and invaluable BEYOND 2000AD (http://www.comicsy.co.uk/hibernia/), the
Stainless Steel Rat logo was one of the few examples of then-
2000ad art editor Colin Wyatt's handiwork in that discipline.
Thanks for that, Saucie! If that was the quality of his work, I'm surprised he didn't design more!
Today's treat from Carlos Ezquerra is from 'The Ragnarok Job'. This story is the one where Johnny and Wulf are walking through a forest when they see a figure sitting on a tree stump holding his head in his lap. Wulf asks him 'Are you a-gobbling?' The figure looks up and says 'Yes, and I have a stinking headache!' Johnny laughs at Wulf's failed attempt at a knob gag and the goblin's friends attack them for mocking their afflicted comrade. Or something like that!

Lovely stuff! I think I prefer Mr. W's art in black and white
Try again, a long time since I looked through my art folder, the detail on the panel by Carlos is just fantastic.
The Ewins piece is very faint on tracing paper, but up close the detail is great.

Mini-commission by Peter Doherty from Monday's Lawgiver 'do' in Birmingham.

That Doherty is grand, Mark. I can see why you called it a 'mini-commission'. A 'sketch' is a bit insulting for the amount of work Pete put in on this...
Here's something I recently acquired. It's Jim Murray working in the wonderful Lawman of the Future title. Incidently, it's the only time he collaborated in the 2000 AD world with Robbie Morrisson before they went on to glorious triumphs with Drowntown. So I'm doublely pleased to acquire this because of that link...

A page so unbelievable, I'd say Kevin Walker had a bid in on it.
I placed my max bid of 300 Euro before hitting the sack last night, and awoke to the expected shattered dreams / mouthful of ashes.
I feel your pain :( - was watching it live as it ended and I could have wept!
Fingers crossed someone here won it anyway so we can see some nice high res pictures.
It's one of those lose - lose situations, I really regret not winning it, but I think there'd be a lot of regret if I'd won it at the price it ended at :o
Just such a nice bloody page, that 'LETS MEDITATE!' speech bubble is just the icing on the cake.
edit - by the way, I'm not saying that page isn't worth the ending price, it most definitely is. I just don't have that kind of disposable income to spend on art at the moment :lol:
I never saw this at all - You were hiding it! :( It never came up in any of my searches
With the likes of yourself around, hidden until the auction ends. It's the only way to secure anything :lol:
(well, maybe not in this case! :()
I thought the Inky Fingers podcasts were supposed to draw our attention to things like this? :lol:
Anyway, a lovely page but one I decided early on not to chase.
I thought so too! Having a job really holds me back from scouring the web for art all day :'(
Maybe you could email the usual suspects every Friday to get a list of what everyone's desperately trying to keep under wraps / out of sight of the great unwashed, and then stick it in the podcast.
Personally, I think that just letting people know some useful keywords / areas for eBay searches and letting them get on with it would suffice. That and a brief overview of CAF and some of the various online sources for original art should be enough to get people started. If people can use Google, they can find art easily enough, though ;)
I enjoyed the podcast, by the way!

I am not sure people would reveal their hidden gems, the collecting world is full of poker players.
Quote from: Skullmo on 16 May, 2014, 12:41:56 PMI am not sure people would reveal their hidden gems, the collecting world is full of poker players.
Poker players who deny being poker players, for that matter. I forgot to add the 'evil' emoticon to my suggestion about lifting the lid on the week's most sought-after bits of art; I don't think that particular addition would be welcomed by many ;)
People are (obviously) entitled to keep their collections under wraps but once you have a piece of art it's nice to share the love, I think. I know of too much art that never sees the light of day, and it's a shame when it would be appreciated by so many. Ho hum, that's the secretive world of art collecting for you.
I think by 'hidden Gems' Skullmo means auctions that are ending?
Sometimes I think it would be a great idea to have a list of regulars to even try to avoid people getting into bidding wars - but then you end up showing your hand by telling people what you're going to bid on (maybe they didn't even see the auction)
Hard to know!
We have the eBay watch thread, which is handy for torpedoing people's chances of getting art without anyone else noticing helpfully bringing art to the attention of people who might otherwise miss it.
Highlighting stuff that pops up on eBay is sometimes handy though; I'd probably have missed out on a couple of things if they hadn't been posted here, so I really can't complain.

You been looking for David Pugh pages for a while?
Not really, it's just taken him a while to post them to me as he has been working his way across India for the last few months and working on his charity in Africa. He only just got back home in the last couple of weeks. I would recommend anyone to buy from him, he's a charming man and all proceeds from the sale of his art go to his charity. http://busfare.webs.com
Nice. I read the Fabry/Pugh Sláine stories in 2000ad Monthly in my early teens, and at that time I actually preferred a lot of Pugh's stuff to Fabry. Obviously I could tell that the fundamentals and the finishing of the best Fabry episodes were far above the abilities of Pugh (or anyone else in the comic), but Pugh's pages had the grit, energy, humour, and spiky charm I associated with the character from reading the McMahon era.

I have what can only be described as a
nostalgic fetish for
Loner, so have dropped him a line.
There's some lovely pages there, shame the two I instantly wanted are sold.
Always found something appealing about David Pughs art when it was in the prog, though up against Fabry it was hardly a level playing field. :)

Christ, I really have to get a proper scanner.
I received one of the 'wand' scanners for Christmas, and had intended to scan everything up to CAF, but my understanding of the tech beforehand was woeful- it's only A4 size, and needs to be in direct contact with the page.
I'm sure there's a way to join up A4 scans to complete larger images, I just couldn't be arsed figuring it out.
Anyway, here's a phone pic of one of my new favorites, sent from the Forbidden Fatboy Fortress; Fervent & Lobe (with a cameo from Tyranny Rex) by Mike Hadley.

I cant get on with my scanner wand, but others seem to like them...
My A4 printer/scanner does the trick (If the art isn't too rigid, that is. Size is not a problem - I've scanned a DPS on it before now. And ICE is an absolute godsend).
But looking forward to seeing your collection pop up on CAF, once you've got sorted Rich!
I was recently into a heavy bid on a Greg Capullo X-Force page.
Lost out in the end.
Instead of making the smart move of just keeping my money for something I really want in the future, I just went on a mad spending spree instead. Sad really.
Here's a trio of Nick Percival pages;
1- Sleaze N Ryder (how I loved President Schwarzenegger).
2- Slaine sketch.
3- A painted Slaine page.
I think if you go mad on a spending spree, Link, you should go mad in style. And that Slaine is just lovely, as are the others.
Nice job!

My latest acquisition from the sublime brush of Mr Simon Davis. I loved the humour of this tableau right up to the point where my girlfriend, on first seeing it, said: "Oh! That's quite sad." Now I feel bad for laughing at it...

That's lovely
This one belongs in 'Life Spugs...' but I thought this was the best place for it.
Basically, the Zenith page I bought recently has been destroyed in transit – by the courier company, myhermes.co.uk. It never reached me.
It had taken a while to turn up, and the seller and I were a bit concerned. He investigated, only to be told that the frame of the piece had been broken by the courier, and that myhermes's policy is to destroy any damaged packages. They didn't contact either him or me about this – just went ahead and did it. I can't get my head around that, and I struggle to believe they're telling him the whole truth. Frankly, I think there's something dodgy going on here (not on the seller's part, he's been great throughout), but either way – a piece of 2000AD history has apparently been pointlessly destroyed.
Obviously, I'm getting a refund, but that's not really the point. I've since read a number of customer reviews for myhermes, and they're almost uniformly damning, suggesting they are incompetent, liars, or both. I'm sure there are plenty of decent folks working for 'em too, of course (and in fairness, the seller says he has used them a lot and had no previous problems) but on the basis of what I've experienced and what I've read, I can only recommend you avoid this company.
Bollocks.
That's bloomin' terrible. Fair enough if they have a policy, however curious it is, to destroy damaged goods, but to do so without contacting both parties is really out of order. They are charged and paid to deliver an item by destroying it they know they aren't going to complete their job and so it boggles that they don't inform people that this is the case.
That's before you discuss the fact that it should be up to the person receiving the good what to do. Particularly when it comes down to picture in a frame which doesn't take a genius to realise its the picture, which by the statement made was okay, that is the primary concern?
Anyway all that wittering is blindingly obvious and does nothing to compensate Greg (or the seller for that matter).
Bad look and hopefully others will take note.
Hi
I'm really sorry to hear that. It was a fantastic piece.
You're right, that it seems really odd the whole 'they just destroy any damaged packages'.
It doesn't ring true as their insurance would surely only pay out with proof the item was damaged, not the packaging. As its a unique item I would write to their CEO directly (with a signed for letter) for a written response to check its not a dodgy delivery guy who has realised the worth of this package and attempted to liberate it for his own gain. I would stress the uniqueness of the item, your request for evidence of its disposal and a mild threat that this item/story is being followed on social media.
You have my full condolences.
Absolutely horrible.
Myhermes is like some kind of strange joke - I had a really weird experience with them where they delivered a package to the COMPLETE wrong address and I had to bus it over to the other side of town to find it and I think there was a heated phone exchange as it was horrifically packaged and had been hurled over the wrong addresses' fence.
Went online and their reviews are almost universally shit. https://www.trustpilot.co.uk/review/www.myhermes.co.uk
How does a company like this keep running, it's mad!
Sorry about your artwork, absolutely shocking. Take the fuckers to court!
Accidental doublepost.
Seriously though - utterly baffled by the companies continued existence. TRADING STANDARDS WHERE ARE YOU.
Got to agree with previous posts..
That is terrible news Greg and really sorry to hear, and another piece of 2000AD history is lost for ever...
As for the Delivery company this seems a very 'strange' way to conduct business....If the packaging is damaged they destroy the parcel....That just doesn't make any sense at all....Both sender and recipient should have been contacted to discuss 'a way forward' before any ( supposed ) destroying of the item took place.... Absolutely shocking and I would be seriously considering checking out some legal options here as regards this 'destroy' policy...It all sounds a bit 'suspect'....At the very least I'd be following matty_ae's suggestion and contacting their CEO.
Anyway, really sorry to hear about it.
Cheers
A thoroughly horrible story that definitely has a suspicious whiff about it. Surely delivering a damaged package and a form for insurance claim, if the recipient chose to claim, would be more sensible? Condolences Greg... :'(
Really sad to hear this news. This is a constant fear of mine and the primary reason why I flew from Ireland to the UK last weekend to collect a piece of comic art in person.
I know this may seem a little extreme but it was a very valuable grail for me and a spectacular piece of 2000AD history.
I often wonder how many other treasures have been 'lost' in transit....
That is bloody awful, Greg... The senseless waste of it... It's such a weird policy, but I wonder if it's there to 'protect' their employees or some other health and safety nonsense.
Got to think the advice here is don't get any original artwork sent in a frame - unless the seller bubble wrapped it with 50 metres of bubble wrap...
After Greg's horrible news, I'll attempt to cheer this thread up with a little Shakara grail page I picked up recently - which I'm very pleased with. It's a Book 1 page, and boy is it a cracker!

Following Greg's awful tale of great and terrible woe, here are my thoughts on how best to avoid this kind of thing (or at least minimise the risk).
1. Avoid Hermes at all costs; I've heard nothing but bad things about them.
2. Avoid shipping framed art. Yes, getting a ready-framed bit of art may be handy but is definitely not worth running the risk of breakage and subsequent potential damage to the art, let alone some idiotic policy of total destruction of damaged articles. Glass in post? No.
3. For shipping in the UK (or UK to elsewhere) I heartily recommend using www.Parcel2go.com, which allows cheap options (much cheaper than Royal Mail / Parcelfarce*) for various courier services and door-to-door service. People pointed me at this and, having used it, it's a really good way to go.
Greg - you have my deepest sympathy. Good to have the money back but it's no real consolation, is it?
* I was quoted £75 for shipment of something with Parcelfarce, then I suggested the sender try parcel2go and that came in at £28 (which, strangely, was for a Parcelforce Euro Priority service, including collection from the sender).
Thanks for the condolences and thoughts on the matter, everyone – much appreciated. I'll be taking on-board the very sensible and useful advice you've all given for the future. With the benefit of hindsight, I clearly should have gone the 'no frame' route, but foolishly, what now seems screamingly obvious just didn't occur.
On a different note – lovely piece of Flinty goodness, Simon.
Sad and salutory tale on the Zenith art :(
I understand the keenness to suspect foul-play and be 'suspicious' of this company, but in so many cases of this kind you can put problems down to stupidity and/or carelessness...
As for compensation, I suspect the refund matched your payment? In an ideal world the refund would far exceed this, focus their minds a little bit? Anyway, wishful thinking.

I've used myHermes over 100 times to send ebay sales and never had an issue. I briefly used parcel2go but had a really bad experience with them which was compounded by awful customer service.

Just goes to show that whatever you do you can have an awful experience or a pain-free one. You pays your money and you takes your chances. Hermes has definitely been mentioned in a negative way by far too many people for my liking, though - yours is the first recommendation I've heard!

After Greg's horrible news, I'll attempt to cheer this thread up with a little Shakara grail page I picked up recently - which I'm very pleased with. It's a Book 1 page, and boy is it a cracker!

A great page SB - Glad you could snag a Book 1 page. Just Book 4(?) to try for now, eh?
A gorgeous flint - I bet it looks great in the flesh!
Absolutely shocking stuff about that Zenith page, Greg.
The courier's blanket 'destroy damaged parcels' policy is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard.
Just doing a bit of plugging - don't forget to check out episode 3 of Inky Fingers where we have a great Leigh Gallagher interview http://inkyfingerspodcast.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/inky-fingers-podcast-episode-003-august.html Episode 4 coming next week :)
As is sods law I go years without the money to indulge in original art and then when I have some nothing comes up that whets my whistle. Ho-fuckin-hum.
Some great stuff appearing on here though, good hunting.
Dunk!

I think that was worth 7 hours travel.
7 days! A stunner Skullmo, congrats.
Great Googly-moogly! Skullmo :o That's an absolute beaut.
Green-eyed Dunk!
Well done Skullmo! You also just made me realise that I haven't posted these: pencils and inks of Mike Collins' Slaine 'Book of Scars' pin-up bought from him at ICE in Birmingham.

A cracking pair of pages, Skullmo! That Fink especially.
Hippy - I love how Slaine's eyes in the second one make him look cheeky! Lovely
Skullmo love that fink page
Grade-A stuff, Mr Skullmo
That Fink page is a beauty - changed hands a few times now in a fairly short time... Surprised nobody has been more determined to hang onto it, really. Skullmo - don't part with this!
It's not going anywhere!

Good! This deserves to have a very loving home (not that I'm suggesting that any of the previous caretakers have provided anything else).
A classic!

Yes Link, I picked up the page in Liverpool and took the opportunity to catch up with a few mates in the area when I was over there.
For me, this is one of the stand out pages from the ABC Warriors, so I'm delighted to have it. It was absolutely worth the trip and is in the best condition of all the ABC pages I own.
The last three pages/covers I've picked up have been so great(I actually copied all three as a kid), that it will very difficult to keep up the standards, unfortunately...

nice use of biro I think here.
Great pieces on this thread. How I'd love to start collecting, I have one Dredd page by Carl Critchlow which I guess I could show on here one day. The stuff by Macneil, Bisley, Kennedy is lovely. Where do you guys tend to keep all these pages, are they framed on your walls or kept safe in storage?
Most of mine are framed and hanging...
I have one framed, and the rest are in folders.
Great MacNeil Dredd page there James.
And yes, those blown-up panels do reveal, by the looks of things, some mean Biro. Who'd have thunk it?
Nothing framed for me!
Nearly all my pieces are in Daler A2 folders, with a few A4 mini folders for sketches etc.
One day I'll get round to framing my favourites.
Or even joining CAF.
Or even using a better camera than a two year old Windows Phone to post pics on this thread.
I keep all mine in a pile next to the bath. Probably shouldn't as they keep getting splashed but it's only paper!
I always wondered what a splash page was.
He's only joking, art lovers. He hasn't really got a bath.
I haven't bought any original art in a while but when I saw this it pretty much screamed at me to buy it.
Picked it up from Mike Dowling at Melksham Comic Con this weekend and it's from the upcoming Ichabod Azrael.
And as I imagine it is with probably all the pages on this thread, the photo really doesn't do it justice.

Hi guys,
Just a quick question if anyone can help me out, My good lady was asking about ideas for my 40th birthday pressie, and I thought some original Judge Dredd art would be lovely. Could you point me in the direction of the best places to look, I get the impression that there's regular sites you guys check, the answer is probably pretty obvious if I looked back through the threads but figured this may be quicker...
Thanks in advance,
Stu
Here's another nice Nigel Dobyn piece, which I picked up at Lawgiver:
(http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x32/scowling_monkey/0ED490B3-6A70-421B-9415-D3BAD1AD5BA8_zpslqd3kjnr.jpg) (http://s186.photobucket.com/user/scowling_monkey/media/0ED490B3-6A70-421B-9415-D3BAD1AD5BA8_zpslqd3kjnr.jpg.html)
Plus a page from Young Death by Peter Doherty:

Not a pic anyone will have seen before, but I was pretty chuffed with this Judge Pal commission from Stuart Tipples :

Stu101 - pm sent with details of the main ones. There are loads of other places though, including buying direct from the artists.
Simon Harrison. Bradley and the Toboggan Race pg 1. Another artist I'd love to see back in the prog, even if just for the occasional cover...
(http://i.imgur.com/tpaT5ix.jpg)
Lovely, lovely, lovely.
This thread can run barren for weeks, then it's like Christmas morning all of a sudden!
I too would love to see S. Harrison back working for Tharg- I absolutely adored his stuff back in the day.
He is / was a perfect fit for 2000AD.
And say what you want about Millar's Red Razors- that painted Dobbyn artwork was to die for.
(I'll also admit I did slightly chortle at 'Rushkovs' death on that page, I know, I know- so stupid, so Millar, but...)
Here's a piece I recently picked up on the 'Bay (likely from one of ye, considering the various 2000AD pages being sold).
My 4th Flint, but 1st ABC Warriors.
Not featuring the actual destruction of Deadlock, but it did look cool...
What on earth is he up to?!

Some great recent additions here - always a treat! That AW page is a cracker, as are the Bradley ones... :)
Who lives? Who dies? Who loses their ruddy feet? Tune in tomorrow to find out...

I only own one 2000AD original. This was bought from the dealer opposite me at the 1st British Comic Show that the Book Palace did. I never had any intention of buying original art but loved this straight away and could hardly turn it down for £20!

Bit overpriced, but a really lovely page!
Thanks. I reckon it was probably worth around £75 at the time must have been 2001ish. Not sure what the going rate is now. There were some Inferno title pages on ebay a few years back for around £250.
And they all lived happily ever after... :-\

Lovely Bradley pages, good sir -- cracking Rupert the Bear parodies.
Love the Ridgeway page, too, but I am reasonably confident he broke his ankle falling down the stairs.
While trying to have a crafty wank over a copy of H&E he'd got out from under the floorboard on the previous page! ;)

Your argument is still weak on causation. A lesser poster would hint that you are projecting. I'm not, so I won't. In any event, a cracking page.
My argument would be that if he'd had a wank in his bedroom instead of the creepy, abandoned house he wouldn't have heard the noise in the cellar, which he then wouldn't have investigated, which means he wouldn't have fallen and broken his ankle! The lesson being 'Don't wank in creepy, abandoned old houses!' ;) Especially seeing as in the next page, a creepy old paedo type comes down the cellar after him...
(http://i.imgur.com/Jp69Ti4.jpg)
Nothing like a nice wank in a haunted house!

Key page Skullmo- your impressive collection swells once again.
I don't have the cash to spare for any more artwork this year, but Jeff Anderson was selling some pages on the 'Bay recently, and I couldn't resist this one- has a vintage 2000AD vibe, great inking.
From a Grant Morrison penned Future Shock apparently, although I don't recall it.
Oh yeah - that's the one about the letter. Very Douglas Adams-y, though I seem to remember hearing it in fact 'borrows' its plot fairly heavily from another sf story. Good page, Link - you definitely picked the better of the two that were up. Can't beat a dose of alien slime-monsters.

Certainly not me. I still vividly recall the shock i felt seeing the cover to Prog 661...

Eh? since when did Dredd's bionic eyes have square iris'? Looking back at CoTD, Ron Smiths excellent squeamishly picture of the docs preparing Dredd's eyes in those little plastic bags leads one to believe they are just like normal eyes.

Thanks to Wake for this one. Dr Panic from the 1979 2000ad annual. Gloriously old school, and wonderfully unsophisticated, and i love it!
Magnificent!
That is such a glorious page. Congrats!
Great scan too - what are you using?

Thanks. I'm using a A4 Printer/scanner, and then stitching it together (3 sections) with ICE.
So, pretty basic stuff.
more complex than i can handle!

Fabulous art but what the exact fuck is Dredd up to jumping through a window and engaging in fisticuffs? I take it his actions make some kind of sense in the context of the story.

You can decide for yourself by reading the whole story (apart from the last page) here (http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/?choice=WAKE&gallery=BRETTE&page=gallery2).
Perhaps shooting people who are victims of a suicide arcade would somewhat defeat the purpose of intervening.
My first Rogue Trooper page.
Cheers David!

It's so hard to choose a favourite Rogue Trooper artist. I think, of all the characters in 2000AD who've had multiple artists, Rogue must be the most blessed!
A great page to start with! Lovely stuff.
Snagged off eBay, a classic Ewins page from 'The Possessed'. For me, no-one drew Judge Anderson's bum as well as Brett.
(http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ronniecraven/PossessedF_zps63dad309.jpg)
Really love that page! I was going to go for that one but you got it!
I guess on the bright side I still have my kidney! :D
That certainly is a nice Judge Anderson's bum there!

Ewins was really on fire then, his Anderson and first book of Bad Company are some of my favourite artwork. Great buy.

Just noticed this piece. Wow, well done. One of the most iconic (and that's saying something!) 2000AD covers of all time, in my opinion. That really is a gem. Every artist has something....but Ron Smith seriously excellent at crazy / ugly. Fantastic Skullmo.
I picked up a nice little haul of original painted pieces from the Edge card series. The first of these is this lovely Steve Sampson Hammerstein...
(http://i.imgur.com/6SEsVLj.jpg)
I had the card of that. Nice to see it a tad bigger! :D
How about this one? The hillbilly fury of Mean Angel captured perfectly by Steve Sampson!
(http://i.imgur.com/Hn5jbI9.jpg)
Excellent! Had that one too. Any more??
Another 4 to come - a Brashill, an Ormston and 2 by King Carlos...
Brashill first:
(http://i.imgur.com/FFocjsb.jpg)
That Fink has a touch of Egon Schiele about it.
Here is a photo of my collection of 2 original pieces.
(http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj605/Sharedvortex101/IMG_5400.jpg) (http://s1270.photobucket.com/user/Sharedvortex101/media/IMG_5400.jpg.html)
The first a Carl Critchlow page I bought blind, lucky to have Dredd and MC1 on there with some nice action from DOC.
The second from Dale via ebay which meant I knew that I was getting a lovely page by MacNeil, this is part of my 40th birthday pressie from my wonderful wife.
(http://i1270.photobucket.com/albums/jj605/Sharedvortex101/IMG_5423.jpg) (http://s1270.photobucket.com/user/Sharedvortex101/media/IMG_5423.jpg.html)
Seeing the MacNeil page up close was great, such precision and contrast. Now the hunt for some painted work, possibly from further back in time....
I can see how this may get addictive, if I had space to display all the pages.
Always nice to see more MacNeil art pop up. Nice page!
I really miss Brashill from the prog. He was quite the contributor when I started collecting in the mid 90s around prog 950. Did I hear correctly that he went on to get more involved in videogame design?
Nice pages Stu101! I really like the frame choice, especially the way it compliments the McNeil page.
is it an off white/cream?

It is, the mount is white and the frame cream, which matches the cream of the page of art, which is nice... ;)

The way you seem to just be able to materialize Hicklenton pages out of nowhere astounds me :o that is just gorgeous.
Totally agree on the Jock cover, definitely one of his best!
Nice haul, Skullmo!
Lovely stuff Skullmo- I know that Hicklenton will take pride of place in your collection.
Dean Ormston's Judge Hershey. More than any other artist, with the possible exception of Simon Harrison, Ormston's painted work is done a massive disservice on publication (and even in hi-res scans) as all of the texture is lost.
(http://i.imgur.com/LqdFWEr.jpg)
I always loved that image. Have never seen any of Dean Ormston's paintings in person though. Is it heavy, textured acrylic?
That's the best Dean Ormston I have seen.
I really like his painting only I often felt his figure work and storytelling let him down a little. His single images were generally really nice.
I'm pretty sure it's acrylic (I don't know much about artistic materials); it looks like it has been scraped onto the card with a spatula rather than painted with a brush. It feels very thick and heavy on the page, what looks like flat black is ridged...

I don't think he was best suited to stripwork. If you look at some of his Dredds you can see him try every trick in the book and then some to avoid having to do faces - everyone is always hunched over, turned away from the viewer, stood in heavy shadow or a tiny figure in the corner of a panel dwarfed by picturesque scenery.
Just got these two beauties which I've been after for.. jeez, as long as I can remember.
Skullmo, you're a king among men! Thanks for letting me pry them from your hands :D

As with all of John's Nemesis pages, the detail is incredibly intense and the only way you can get a good idea of what it's really like is via closeups of the original art. So I took some! :D
Look how detailed these are. Now look ack to the main picture to see how small they are when compared to the overall image. Really gives you scale as to how small the details are. (and how much is lost in the transfer to print)

I also don't think I've photographed pages 27 & 28 together so took the opportunity to. Think I'll get the pair of them framed side by side like this too.

That death of Thoth page is still one of my favourites. Beautiful stuff!
It's a great page alright! Although, the corkscrew in the balls splash is possibly on the verge of overtaking it as my favourite.. :D
Not sure what the missus is going to make of that up on the wall :o
I love how the death of Thoth one is not edited!
They all look lovely together!
Necropolis - Carlos Ezquerra
(http://i.imgur.com/UyFtKXx.jpg)
Outstanding! Well done.
Was that one of the Carlos pieces recently put up on ebay? I see there's been a seller listing quite a few of them.
No, this was part of a private deal with the other art card originals. The ones you're thinking of on ebay are being sold by Reg from the Book Palace. He's got some lovely stuff and sells on behalf of Carlos and a few other artists, inc. Arthur Ranson.
Ahhh I see, that explains the volume of Arthur Ranson pages he's put up. I don't think I've ever seen more than one of his pages on ebay simultaneously.

You could be ending the year as King of the Thread, Greg.
And here they are. Thanks go to Skullmo for arranging this and Carlos for selling 'em. For what it's worth, this is one of my favourite episodes of Dredd, from my favourite Dredd story (Necropolis, of course) and featuring a panel that would easily make my all-time top five Dredd moments ("Rumpelstiltskin?", of course.) So, yeah, I'm happy to have these. For me, this is what collecting is all about - getting hold of those moments that had a real personal impact. Plus, Carlos's colours are just amazing.

It's all about the Carlos of late - and quite right too. '89 to '94 was a real purple patch for him - literally, in the case of one of those fantastic covers.

And you also have the page with a similar pose - great to have them both. He did some lovely work for 2000ad
The difference in quality between those two pages astounding, almost like it's two different artists.
I know one's a cover and the other is an interior, but it just goes to show what a bit of extra payment/time can do :D

Ooh, Nigel?
Well he did indeed do me a rather shiny commission that I don't need an excuse to show off again:
(http://www.futurequake.co.uk/imagebucket/davepersonal/IlloKidKneeNigelDobbynWeb.jpg)
and I've seen him lettering strips over on ACES Weekly (http://www.acesweekly.co.uk/home) as well.
I 'do' know about something he is working on art-wise but it isn't my place to say where its for or who is writing it.
I would love to see Nigel working on something for Tharg again, but I am not about to start telling TMO who he should hire...

THARG GET THIS MAN BACK IN THE PROG WILLYA!
Great comission Bolt-01! I wouldn't have known that was by Dobbyn at all. He's certainly evolved his style since his 2000AD days.
There's a tiny example of what he's (Nigel) is put to here , working in colaboration with David Baillie another of Tharg's droids.

I don't remember Paul Staples doing Slaine at all, that's a lovely page. His style really suits the strip.
You've just reminded me how much I miss Finn though! I can't say I've ever seen any of his Finn art for sale.
I don't recall seeing any Finn artwork for sale other than 4 (?) Mick Austin covers - I had 2, traded 1 with Wake and Skullmo has the others (I think), and a Clint Langley one. I've never seen a story page...

Had to be done, Ming. I've owned the page following this one for twenty five years so the thought of reuniting these two pages - probably for the first time since they were printed in 1981 - was quite literally keeping me awake at night. Must be almost two years now I've been mired in procrastination about it. Every few months this would flare up again, like a red hot cold sore and I'd contact the seller to see if it was still there...

The 2000AD doc got me wondering about how much of this stuff is still actually out there. In all the years I've been seeing people display their art, haven't seen a lot of this era Nemesis. I like to think it's all scattered around out there, safely under wraps in people's collections but all the talk in the doc of how some of the art ended up being "used" made my heart sink...
A beautiful page!
Congrats, Mick! A stunning page and I'm really happy you managed to pick this up. As you say, we don't see much Nemesis from this era kicking about, and this page is a cracker.
:)
I'm going off to stare at my cover now... I still can't believe I have that.
Some classic O'Neill there Blackmocco, congrats.
I can't even feel jealous- it's about as far out of league as a bottle of McDonald's Special Sauce for my chips.
Congrats Mick. A stunning page indeed. To have two must really be summat else.
And I think we have all pondered exactly where the vast bulk of pages have ended up. Not a huge amount pops up online, mores the pity.
I don't play the original art game, but I get a very occasional pang. That O'Neill Nemesis page is definitely one of them.
(See also: the very first Dave Gibbons page of Dr Who Weekly #1 which came on the market at a silly price not so long ago, and the whole of McMahon's Warrior's Dawn episode a few years back that I balked at the price of and have regretted ever since...)
Fantastic page. Congratulations.
Cheers!
Jim

I
think they were about £1500 each which, with hindsight, seems pretty reasonable. No idea who got 'em but I haven't seen any of them since, and they don't appear in the online galleries of any of the usual (or not so usual) subjects as far as I can see...

Cheers Jim.
Reasonable indeed, for the more serious collectors.
Still way out of my humble price range, which has yet to (and probable never will) break the 500 quid ceiling.

It's more than I'd spend on original art (my limit normally being £0.00) but I'd hang this on the wall of any gallery in the land:

Missed those!! Where/when were they for sale?
It was at least a couple of years ago. Can't remember exactly. I think they were on Artdroids (cue usual chorus of "overpriced"). As I say: they weren't there long and I haven't seen hide nor hair of 'em since. While I was umm-ing and ahh-ing over whether I could a) claim a page as a tax deductible expense and b) be confident that my wife wouldn't actually fucking kill me, the pages all sold. Quickly!
Cheers
Jim
You make me cry.
Bad man!
Claiming an original Nemesis page as a legitimate business expense. Ay caramba!
A while since I've been on here but the last few pages of Slaine: a Simple Killing are available to buy via my facebook page..link below....if interested in a purchase, message me via that page...pages are individually price and they're a bit of a bargain I'm told...

That's a grail page for me, as any McMahon Slaine would be, but still my eyes slightly water at the price.
Got into preliminary discussions for that superb Nemesis page with Dale to, a few moons ago when I was rich/willing to trade and full of dreams.
Dunk!

I've had 2 pages from Simon previously (a cover and a spread) and they are luscious! I'd recommend everybody buy one!
My 2 latest purchases:

Just joined the forum, incredible stuff on this thread chaps!
Love the Esquerra pages above - it's not often you see Durham Red looking shocked.
I've got a few pages to upload, but still working on shrinking them down to an acceptable amount of KBs...
(Some are on CAF, but hopefully they'll stand up to a second viewing if anyone's seen them already...)
For those of us that haven't Geoff, can you post a link to your caf gallery please?
Sure: http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=104627
In the meantime, these are the 2 pages that started it all off for me back in the late 80s...when art was cheap but a crappy 14'' telly cost a month's wages!
Not sure how well they'll come out, as I had to shrink the KB size a lot...
Not sure I've quite got the hang of this...
Any pointers gratefully received!
Ordinarily, I'd have eyes only for the Dr & Quinch, but that Black Plague page is an absolute beauty...
Cheers
Jim
Yeah that is a lovely Ron Smith page.
Also how fantastic are Chris Weston's 'pre-lims' - Jez that's better than many professional arts can do full stop!

On yes, both very nice indeed. We dont see much in the way of DR and Quinch art pop up online, so always a treat to see.
It's seeing Chris Weston's cover that sucked me back in to this comic art craziness after all these years...
As has been said many times on this thread, in the flesh it's just amazing. I'd post Kleggy up, but Pete Wells' superb covers site has that covered with better scans than I could do.
DR & Quinch, only those 2 got close to Dredd in my affections...
Great stuff! I use image sharer imgur to share photos on here - http://m.imgur.com. If you upload the picture, change link to BB code and copy & paste that into a post here you'll get decent, full size images!

Funny, but also (in my current hungover 'fear' state) a horrifying thought.
If I were to drop dead of SADS right now what would happen to those wonderful folders filled with raw original Thrill Power?
No one really knows anything about them, they'd likely be overlooked- perhaps passed on to a crayola wielding nephew. Oh dear Grud- there
is a fear greater than death itself...

I'm considering pruning some more here and there - get things down to a nice core collection I can enjoy and pass on to the (suitably appreciative) kids without worrying about it all ending up in a landfill somewhere once I pop me clogs.
What a cheery thought!

Yes. I have left my girlfriend VERY specific instructions about my art for when I pop off!

How would you go about selling pieces Ming? I'm thinking of adding to a very small collection and am interested in getting hold of older pages (stuff from the '90s possibly) I have been pointed in the direction of CAF and similar sites but was wondering how you guys on here tend to buy and sell.
Cheers
PM sent Stu!
I sent you one too :D
Cheers guys, very helpful. Skullmo I'll let you know what kind of work i'm looking for, and will defiantly check those leads hippy#1.
I bought this Trapper Hag piece from Clint Langley at the recent Demoncon convention. He said it was an unused pinup for a SDCC thing.
(http://i1179.photobucket.com/albums/x392/chiefy2shoes/Trapper%20Hagg%20sm-%20Clint%20Langley_zpsn5vdvirj.jpg) (http://s1179.photobucket.com/user/chiefy2shoes/media/Trapper%20Hagg%20sm-%20Clint%20Langley_zpsn5vdvirj.jpg.html)
COR! Think i saw that when i went past his table - but i was trooping and things are blurry and tinted green in those goggles, so didn't see it was Trapper.
If i did, might've just snatched it up before you!
Love that one - I ummed and arred about getting it myself when I got some pieces. It is gorgeous!
Before kids and recessions I got a nice few pages of original art, I really like them, and have my favourites on display. I was taking out the folder of pieces I have on display this morning to take a few pictures of art for something different, and I was looking at the four pages of Carlos that I have.
The four page below are from the Rage storyline, I have the title page as well, but that's on display and and I wouldnt part with it. The reason for this post, is that its such a shame to have these tucked away in a folder, looked at once every while, it would be nice to have them on display, but I dont have the room.
Its a long time since I bough anything I am well out of the loop, IF I was to consider selling them, is Ebay the best bet, or selling them to an art dealer like the Book Palace?

Sweet grud- those are some of the finest comics ever. That third page alone is a work of genius.
WOW! A private sale is always best.
On my wish list!
A private sale is always best, I agree, but never take the first offer and ALWAYS ask the opinion of a few people who do collect but aren't interested in buying what they would consider a fair price. That way you're less likely to get ripped off!
Seriously, I think that episode should stay together. It's pretty rare to see the original art for complete episodes in one place and for such an iconic sequence to get split up would be a shame (completely understandable, but a shame). There's one page (one panel!) that alone should go sky-high, price-wise, but the other pages, if split from that, might not get the attention they deserve.
I've chatted with you about this episode before I think, David - and remember that I have a suitably nice SD title page if you want to explore trade (or partial trade) options... ;)
Anyway, fantastic art from one of *those* moments in the Prog.

Yeah its a real shame that you need to split these as that is pretty iconic stuff. Just wonderful pages David. Good luck with whatever you decide to do with them and suspect that you will have a lot of interest.

Had my eye on that on eBay myself but with recent purchases, decided against making a bid (not that that stopped me from pre-ordering the Apex Edition of Zenith today, mind you). Can't believe no else bidded on it but you. A bloody great page, so it is.
That Zenith Apex Edition sounds great, exactly the sort of thing I'd buy like a shot normally.
Having bought the hardback collected edition for that whacking price recently - thinking that would be my only chance to get Zenith - then seeing the release of the individual books and now this one as well, I feel a bit reluctant...
Yeah very tempted by the Apex edition. I love the Mighty Yeowell pages I own and figure this will be as close as I get to a Zenith page.
The trouble is I'm still hoping to find time to dig through some progs and investigate the availability of some John Burns pages... so much good stuff, so little cash...
After buying the limited edition and the new hardbacks I am thinking I won't be buying the Apex editions but who knows.
And finally my original art drought is at an end. Straight from Paul Marshall himself.

How do you afford all this?!
He works the old London docks!
He sells his body to the night!
He must have a very good body...
All great pieces. What are the McNeil Chopper and Jock ones from?
They look like covers,really love the Chopper one!
No, he just works long hours!
That must be it..
Hippy and Skulmo, I noticed that back in Feb you gave some pointers (via a PM) to a board member called Stu on how you go about adding to your collection.
I also have a small collection that I'd slowly like to add a couple of pieces to. Mainly interested in the 70s/80s black and white art but some of the more modern stuff too. In particular how to get in touch with King Carlos for a commission or art?
Carlos can be contacted with a message on his Facebook page. He answers quickly. I recently got a Dark Judges commission from him there
Thanks Eamonn. I'm not on the Facebook though, always resisted it...but I do get the impression that there's some comic art stuff on there I'm missing out on. Maybe contacting Carlos is enough to get me joined up..
Yeah send him a FB message - or if there is something specific you want just ask me as I have a good idea of most of what he has and can tell you a yes or no if it was returned/sold.
The MacNeil is from the cover to the poster prog.
The Jock is from a year end issue (I forget which one).
I have an amazing body!
Any excuse to show this off.

Thanks Skulmo, will get in touch to see what's he's got when I have some 'art cash' available. And for the details on the pages!
A mighty fine haul Skullmo.
The SMS page tickles my fancy in particular.
"AAAAHH! SHARKS ON LEGS!"
It was a case of love at first sight when this appeared in the Prog - big first panel with a bampot notion taking me right back to the early days of 2000AD, Action, and a whole slew of early 70's titles when an ordinary, real life thing or situation is given a fantasy/SF angle.
And that's classic Dredd to just dispatch the threat so cooly.
And that caption is right up there with the classic "please let me drown before the Giant Scorpions get me".
So, love at first sight.
I got in touch with Carl, just on the off-chance that he might still have it, expecting the answer "no".
Stunned then when he said that, yes, he did.
And it became mine within a few days :D
Lovely piece of work - A3 with very fine linework. The backgrounds are missing out of a couple of the lower panels as Carl added them in Photoshop.
That don't matter not a jot - i've got sharks on legs and i'm a happy bunny :D
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v63/Mangamax/SAM_0612%202_zpsqwemzhqh.jpg)
It's great when that happens - you love it the moment you see it, have to have it...and it's actually available! (Happened with me and Chris Weston's Sensitive Klegg)
Congrats on getting it - it's a great page from one of the funniest of the recent Dredd stories. Sharks with legs, proper MC1 craziness. Almost looks better in the original black and white I think. Brings back the 70s for me too, when everything was sharks or dinosaurs!
Ditto everything you just said Geoff :) :D ;)
Awesome purchase, Mangamax.

All lovely pieces but that insurrection page is truly beautiful so beautiful that I think I hate Colin McNeil the talented bastard.
Like my buddy, The Hipster, it's been a while for me in posting here. I've not really bought much recently. But like buses, it's come along all at once. First to be shared is this lovely Frazer Irving page from 'Judge Death - The Wilderness Years'. It's a great story from The Megazine.
Finding Frazer's art for sale is like trying to locate Hen's Teeth. If anyone wants to sell me a Simping Detective page, I'd be very happy to hear from you!

Very recent page from Cascade by Paul Marshall
(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/Caliban_photos/Marshall_zpshpc0wea5.jpg)
Lovely Marshall page. His art is still surprisingly cheap!
Considering what I've paid recently for some other pieces he is really cheap and bought directly from the artist himself on eBay
Bit of a head scratcher as to why Marshall is so cheap. I've a number of his pages, and had I been paying what we might call more 'normal' prices, I'd never have been able to afford the amass the collection I have!

A quality Gallagher DoC page there, SB! I had forgotten that you had this page, it stems from when we was both umming and ahhing on what pages to pick from Leigh's blog, iirc?
And that Frazer is all kind of lovely. A disturbing tale, but so beautifully drawn. Great snag!
Yeah, Mr Marshall's art doesn't command big bucks, though a good few fetched a decent-ish price over on eBay. I was happy to snag one of those, and glad to deal with Paul directly.
So, I had 'incoming', now it can be classed as 'landed'.

Lovely!!
You are on an art high!
Love the lettering on this page, as well as the fab art!
Just had a nice little parcel drop today - some more goodness from Mr Henry Flint. This is from the Day of Chaos Fourth Faction. What I particularly like about this page is that Henry has penned the writing on the note - not left it to the Letterer. Also, Dredd is healing after being attacked by Sov agent, Nadia, who stuck a knife in his throat. I have the page where he is attacked (penned by Ben Willsher) so it's nice to have a sort-of before and after!
I have some other pages which I shall put on CAF when I get the time...

What a cracking page! Certainty and confidence, earned by experience, just oozing from Dredd there...you'd have to be a fool not to take his advice...
I'm a huge fan of Flint, and this thread has been a treat recently.
Love them.
Does anyone remember a man called Glen Fabry. Always enjoyed his work, especially his work involving SLAINE.

You guys do know that sarcasm doesn't always come across as well on the Internet as it does in your head, don't you? The poor chap who asked was a new arrival and might be put off.

Aaaaaanyways... :lol: More old school gorgeousness, this time from the mighty Arthur Ranson.

Lucid is a great story and that is a great page! Nice snag, Hipster!
Bit unusual this one. It's the cover to the 2000AD FCBD edition from 2014. Henry Flint. Henry inked the page, scanned it, then went over the inks with a colour wash and this is the result. He did this for the Titan cover of Prog 1862 as well. He's not using the technique again, so this is somewhat of an historic curio...
You can read more about it on Pete's wonderful 2000AD Covers Uncovered Blog: http://2000adcovers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/henry-flint-titanfall.html (http://2000adcovers.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/henry-flint-titanfall.html)

Well how much loveliness has there been just there. One glorious Ransom and one fantastic curio as you say Simon. That's a fascinating piece you have there from a lovely cover.
First new piece in a long while, after a bit of horse trading for a piece I already had. Ranson is brilliant.

Gotta love that fish! Beautiful...
The Ransoms are beautiful - as always - and I think I remember marvelling at how good that fish was from the prog..
Love those recent FCBD covers, congrats on getting one and a really interesting back-story to boot!

Gorgeous piece to have no more Ranson work in 2000ad makes me miserable even reading through Shamballa mega collection as much as I enjoyed it it really upset me that he's retired.Supremly talented.
The last of my recent purchases (although I did pick up some corkers at The Birmingham Comics Festival over the weekend, I haven't scanned them yet) is this simply stunning John M Burns M.A.C.H.1 cover to Extreme Edition #6. Thanks to Wiggz for getting this sorted for me and, PLEASE Tharg, can we have a Complete Collection now?
(http://i.imgur.com/M7oxriH.jpg)
It's a fantastic cover - it makes M.A.C.H.1 look like the greatest 70s action movie never made.
:o wow
That is beyond lovely!
What a composition, that is just wonderful.
Original art Hive-mind;
Ever have a speech bubble fall off a page of vintage 2000AD artwork?
Any recommendations on the type of adhesive that could be used to re-apply it?
(I'm assuming it isn't Pritt Stick).
I have never had that happen but have heard that Pritt stick is fine. It's a very 'passive' glue and is designed specifically for paper so...
I had the 'Credit Card' fall off an old Ron Smith Dredd page and used Pritt Stick to stick it back on.
This was many years ago though, not sure I'd be so casual now..
Also, it was quite thick card, not sure how thick the speech bubble is..
I would use School PVA
Buy a brush with a fat rounded end that you can beat the glue thinly with.
Practice beating the glue very thinly on a piece of card and then when you've got the right amount continue to beat it onto the back of the speech bubble very thinly but with even application.
If you brush glue it could distort the paper - so this method I've learned from book binding.

Is beating the glue a euphemism?
Since 1969, has been Pritt Stick the ideal clean, quick and accurate way of sticking paper, cardboard and photos. Pritt is the world market leader and the originator of glue stick.
Thanks to it's new formula the Pritt Stick Glues even more paper with one stick & remains stronger on paper than competition. This was also analyzed by the Fraunhofer IFAM institute.
Yeah, nowt wrong with using a bit of Pritt stick to re-apply a speech balloon.

Organic compounds are less likely to cause damage or discolouration. Simply pick (http://pick), then stick (http://stick), leaving out the traditional second stage of flick (http://flick).
Love the Kev Walker Skullmo! The page that that is the prelim for has to be one of the greatest pages of interior art in 2000AD's history (alongside a few other Joe pages...aongst others).

One of the Cam Kennedy pages that popped up on eBay recently arrived this morning.
Although it's a new seller the art is as described, was securely packaged and arrived quickly so seems reliable.
The seller is Cam's daughter I believe - Isobelle. Lovely page!

Lovely stuff, that was my favorite cover by the Kendall Droid last year.
The hero of Northpool, unaware of the impending disaster.
One of my favourite stories, always brings a tear to the eye..
And Dave Gibbons work is breathtaking.
(Not sure how well the attachment is going to work, so: http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1226792)
Ooops - that wasn't Charlie!
That was a lovely early bit of McMahon and fun with the Ape Gang!
This is Charlie:
Even though that McMahon is only a half page it has Don Uggie on and is so very very beautiful. Yeah, yeah two pages of glorious Dave Gibbons Ro-Busters art but ya know DON UGGIE!
I keep going back to that McMahon (half!) page... it's so damn perfect. It feels "rushed" but it's not, he's just a master. I'll be stating the bleedin' obvious again later, stay tuned! :)
I'll 'ave 'alf a McMahon page anyday.
Those old-school letterers must have had nerves of steel to plaster all that sticky stuff with writing and bits of paint and ink onto all that amazing artwork. Combo of original art plus lettering looks really cool.
Just back from a stalk of your CAF page, Geoff- you've a few diamonds there!
Thanks Link - got a couple of commissions in the pipeline which I'll post when they come...
Know what you mean Supersurfer - love the old pages with the speech bubbles stuck on. I was really surprised when the Gibbons art arrived because the speech bubbles are not stuck on, but drawn directly onto the card! Not come across this before...

It's because Dave was lettering his own work. (Some of his earliest (pre-2000AD) work was actually for US publishers, where the process was different to the UK, with the pencilling being done by one artist; the lettering being applied directly to the pencils by the letterer; and the inker, usually a different artist, finishing the page once the lettering was complete.)
I strongly suspect that, as well as being a very good letterer, there was an excellent business motive for lettering his own pages: Dave got an additional page rate for lettering
but didn't actually have to draw as much as he would if someone else lettered the art.
(Mr Gibbons is a very canny businessman... Mick McMahon recounts on his blog how he changed his ink style on Dave's advice, to lay down all the blacks with a brush
before starting the linework, since this meant you didn't draw unnecessary lines outlining areas you would then fill in with black.)
Cheers
Jim

Charlie Adlard Savage page
(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/Caliban_photos/Adlard_zpsrsqwlr94.jpg)
Spikes - You can't beat a good 'PHATOOM'. That's up there with some of Colin MacNeil's 'FOOMS' (one of which I am blessed to have in my collection). Does anyone know if Cam drew it or was it the Letterer? Colin does his own 'FOOMS'. Also, that lettering in the first speech bubble is interesting. That must have either been a lot of fun or a bit of a bugger!
Eamonn - Nice bit of Savage. Love that last panel...
@SB I wouldn't have though Cam drew the 'PHATOOM' - as its stuck on, rather than drawn directly onto the page, and Steve Potter is the credited letterer for that particular episode.
Though curiously, on the panels were there is enough white space, the speech balloons have been drawn directly onto the page of art. Never really come across that before.
It's not a bromide is it? (See earlier discussion about Cam Kennedy page someone had)
No, not a bromide. ::)
Something of a curiosity this one: when Dave Kendall pencilled the cover to Prog 1898 he transferred the pencils to board ready to paint in acrylics. He got this far and was so disappointed with how it was coming out he abandoned it, rescanned the pencils and painted it digitally instead.

Oh that is a lovely page. When I get back on the wagon a Simon Davis S&D page is high on my list. The problem is they seem to be scattered far a wide so getting a choice page might men wrestling it off a loving owner!

My first original 2000ad page. Slaine by Simon Davis - Primordial Part 3, Page 3.
Picked this up recently for A SONG.
It's a Dark Justice prelim by The Stapler, and when I say "prelim" I mean "holy sh!t".
For fans of the artists process, there was an added bonus; there are also two aborted attempts of the same image on the reverse of the page.
Interestingly, the seller (hey there Steve, if you're a member of the Forum) told me that every single published page from Dark Justice was bought by a single collector.
Lucky bugger.
I saw that; very nice! It's a hand-coloured stat, right? Really nice to see this kind of thing pop up.
Quote from: ming on 24 June, 2015, 10:11:40 AM
I saw that; very nice! It's a hand-coloured stat, right?
Very difficult to describe Ming, but I'll post an image of the reverse later to better illustrate; it seems that Staples made multiple copies of the image (and I assume other pages from Dark Justice) using copies of a 'bare-outline' prelim.
He then penciled / painted the stat by hand. I believe the image I've shown is mostly hand drawn / painted (over the basic stat prelim).
Update on this piece; as Ming suggested, the grey-scale artwork is indeed a stat, the only hand drawn elements are the coloured portions and Judge Fire flame effect. Still lovely stuff though.
Now I'm curious about the images on the back page!
Half of which seems to be the top half of this page, the other half (upside down) is the basic outline prelim of the page.
That's really nice Link. I think I'd almost prefer that to the admittedly glorious fully painted pages.

Whats the premise for that technique, Jim?
I'm genuinely curious, as the grey-scale image on the back (that is in the same vertical direction) isn't 'mirrored' to the front image.
Might just have been an earlier attempt.

I'm not saying that the two things are related, just because they're on the same piece of paper, only that use of a lightbox is (to me) the obvious explanation of how one ends up with a mirrored hand-drawn image.

Well that's a bit special.
Not fair that droids get to get art as well, I mean they must get to see it first and call dibs... not that I could afford it (though Mr Davis' rates are very, very good for what you get - its just that I'm on an art diet at the moment while doing home decoration - sigh), its bloody lovely ... just I'm bitter and tired and want to throw pointless and mean spirited snark at someone lucky enough to own such a lovely piece...

Yep, that Davis piece is summat special. This has got to be his best art ever. Lovely stuff.
And a cracking piece there, Skullmo. Always grand to see more new stuff from the master.
And talking of 'art diets', mine appears to have come to an end. Not that I particularly wanted to go on one in the first place...
But a page I've had my eye on for a number of years, and watched as it changed hands a few times, is now mine.
(http://i.imgur.com/ax2QdPG.jpg)
That's blinding! Great page, lots of Dredd and that last panel is a classic in itself.
Great to see more activity on this thread!
That Davis cover is gorgeous - I was very very tempted by that. A modern classic.
And that is a classic Apocalypse page - the wagging finger of justice!
I am not sure if I ever posted these here:

Ha! Only with Si's stuff, as he's now the only artist who still hand delivers his work to the Nerve Centre. It's been a real treat over the last year with him and Greg bringing their pages in. Saw this, couldn't resist :)

Yes, I was most pleased to get this one. It even comes with a note from Chris suggesting the cover tag line! A very creative gent.
Thought this would be the best place to post this until the book itself gets its own dedicated thread, but in their latest YouTube channel video, Molcher and Richardson present us with a good wee look at the Zenith: Apex Edition and it looks glorious (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0udONwMQR1Y&feature=youtu.be).

Cheers Rich. Yes, a keeper this one. Been doing a bit of pruning to my collection, so Ive let a few pieces go, whilst being able to add a grail page, plus others.
May be letting a few more pieces go. If so, I'll post them up somewhere on the forum.

About time you posted this up. Very nice indeed.
Wasn't there additional pieces of art that went with this?
You'll have to use your skills, and merge them all together.

We shall see. Wont be cheap, mind.
I have the following in a folder, and I'm unlikely to ever display them, it a shame to have them sitting there. If anyone is interested PM me.
The five page future shock Im not to bothered at selling, as its Bradbury. I would consider a swop for some of his other art though from Eagle, Scream or Battle etc.
Two Ron Smith Dail Star, one from 95 the other no date, but the copyright is Egmont Fleetway, so probably 96.

It's hard to tell from the photo, but would they have stamped the page on the back (as they do with original art) if it was a bromide?
This look alike a collection of reprinted daily strips - they would have made a bromide of them I assume to fit the page size of the Prog.
Although it is hard to tell with such a bad photo - they may just be cut and pasted

But very nice vintage pieces indeed.
Seen both of them around over the years, but stellar pieces. That Bolland cover..... How many kidneys do you have left now? ;-)
I bet there'd be a few choice pieces on that list Hippynumber1...
The JGG cover is quite a birthday present and Colin's right, maybe could have done with a bit more fanfare but it's hard to know what to say really, I still can't quite believe I've got it.
Thanks for putting them up there Spikes, and yes, due to the Bolland, I'm currently down a kidney, my left arm and my family I are living in a tent under the A40...
Brilliant cover!! I am dead jealous :D

Brilliant pages! I want them!! :D
I adore that Black Hawk page!
Those three Bellardinelli's are right crackers. Gladly settle for any of those in my collection.
I won the eBay auction for this page which arrived this morning. I love it!
From Prog 281 which had that great Carlos wraparound cover of Dredd and his enemies.

Oh, these Belardinelli pages are just getting better and better - classic stuff, love his work. Rare to see a Meltdown Man page around these parts - most of the art's owned by one chap, if I recall. (Mind you, maybe you're that chap.)
Met the lovely Mr. Steve Yeowell at ICE in Birmingham yesterday and he kindly sold me the following. His pencils are so light and delicate that I've had to mess with levels and contrast on the scan so they can be seen (sorry Steve). It's page 3 of part 3 of DeMarco, PI: Déjà-vû written by Michael Carroll. Great work from both. I'll post inks tomorrow...

from the magnificent McMahon

Yep, I was very tempted myself, his work on Nemesis is superb, but after recent purchases, exercised restraint - it's a lovely piece, nice one!

Over the years, I never really got Slaine. That changed when Mr Davis started his run on the character. Some of his very best work, I think.

Had a bit of a tidy up of my collection of late, which meant I could find space for this.
Rogue Trooper, by Cam Kennedy - of course, from the Gasbah tale (Prog 343/347). Love that top image of Rogue walking through the detritus of war. And that logo..... classic.
Oh, THAT is fuckin' LOVELY.
Cheers!
Jim
Yeah - erally lovely page that one!
Love the layering on that Rogue page (damn I'm no fan of the strip but was it very served by GREAT art). Sure there's a proper technical term for that but I mean they way Cam Kennedy has used different inking styles to really emphasize the depth of the views, you know foreground, to midground to background... you following me? Its the kinda thing that getting original art really adds to a page from some of the examples I've got (alas no Cam!). I imagine the subtlies of what he did on the page won't have survived half as well in the printed page?
The older I get the more I'm convinced that Cam is the most technically accomplished artist we've ever had on the comic. Almost every panel is a marvel of subtle techniques working together to create a living, moving world. That page is just magic, and it doesn't even have a stammel in it!

Comparing this original to others, it would indeed seem that Cam was using different inking techniques around this period.
Though as you had suspected, the transition to the printed page a lot of subtleties are lost. But to see the original art it is abundantly noticeable.
Checking the two; The repro in the prog at the time, though perfectly serviceable, has made the blacks more uniformly solid.
A lot of the lighter linework is kinda 'swamped out', so it all merges into one, a wee bit.
(Just tried taking a photo of the two side by side, but the light in my bedroom is doing me no favours in an attempt to get a decent shot..)
That's a great page, Iain! Everything you could want in a single page of Cam Rogue Trooper, pretty much. Lovely stuff.

Brillian! Ron was a wonderful artist - and from one of his key stories
Great story, amazing page of art! And actually the Captain's Pie sounds rather tasty.
Classic stuff!

Moral Health Committee ... anyone else wondering how long before some idiot on tumblr comes up with that?
Its still hysterical!
If your going to have the perfect Ron Smith page its going to have one of three characters on alongside Dredd, Otto, Citizen Snork or Dave the Organutan (well actually he'd always be my first choice), so this is pretty much perfect!

Henry Flint Visible Man page bought from the artist at the 2000AD stand at London Super comic con.
£60
That's a fantastic page and at 60 quid an absolute bargain, well done.
You really cant go wrong with a Flint page. And convention prices are the best.

Another classic for your collection Iain.
You definitely picked up a bargain there Eamonn, Flints pages normally start at £150.00
Incoming art! :D

Wow.
Very nice indeed. Quality work from the Austin Droid.
First original 2000ad art pages I've brought in over a decade, but it was too good an opportunity to pass up.
Pages from my personal favourite Strontium Dog story "Incident on Mayger Minor" direct from the mighty Carlos via my enabler Skullmo.
Seeing them in the flesh I'm a very happy bunny.

Happy ending.
Awaiting one more page, then I'm hibernating financially.
Dunk!
There's lovely
Carlos's line work really is unbeatable.
Check out the back of Johnnys legs, so many line weights, and the building texturing on that last, bottom left panel....just wow.
Amazing pages Dunk ! lucky man.
Aw, man- those 're lovely.
great purchase Dunk.
They are gorgeous!
And Incident on Mayger Minor is possibly my fave stront story too. It's western root snever more clearly on show.

Speaking of Ezquerra, I just secured these for the nation and they'll eventually go on display in the Nerve Centre, as Tharg intended.
Nice work, Molch-R. All hail Tharg.
So, will these be available to view as part of a tour?

Blimey! Great to hear - can we all come and visit? Were these an addition to an official '2000AD' art collection, or just a personal purchase that you're too scared to keep at home in case we all know where you live? There are few pages in the history of the Galaxy's Greatest as important as these... sheer perfection.
As a newer reader, there are some stories you ache to have been there to read week-by-week first time around, and by Jingo that's one of 'em.

Oh, if anyone is interested in getting any original Carlos Ezquerra art drop me a PM.
He recently sorted out his files so I have an idea of what he has left. No Apocalypse War but some classic Dredd, Stront and Stainless Steel Rat.
AAaaaAAAaaaGGGHHHH, must resist...

Haha! Kinda - this is my favourite moment in all of comics ever, seems a shame to keep it just for myself. Also, we don't have original art in the Nerve Centre aside from a couple of production pieces, so it'd be nice to have it on the wall here.

I had it on watch just to torture myself. I've agreed not to make any "unnecessary" purchases in 2016.
It will be difficult to build a new house out of pieces of paper, as my normally tolerant missus informed me at the end of last year.

Is that right, Jim?
Years since I read it, but wasn't it revealed that Tor Cyan was a 're-gened' original Rogue Trooper, grown by Rahab(?) from the salvaged Biochip ("4") taken from the original Rogue's adrift in space corpse?
Can anyone make sense of that sentence?

I read it for the first time last year. I should have just read your sentence instead as it made as much sense as the story did and yet was far more interesting.

Was that it? OK, so maybe he sort of
was Rogue, but at the same time he
wasn't. I don't know. By that point, TBH, I didn't care!
(Of course, what Rogue
really needed at that point was another convoluted round of complications added to his continuity...)
Cheers
Jim
Just how many Rogues are there anyway?
I count four;
1) Rogue Trooper
2) Friday
3) Tor Cyan (possibly a re-gened original Rogue. We're not sure. John Tomlinson isn't sure. Tharg isn't sure).
4) IDW Rogue Trooper.

Yeah, Meg 317. There were a lot of years. Terrible, wasted years.
Among a number of rather nice leaving presents from work (well almost leaving I'm not gone until next Wednesday, but only 2 working days left) I was delighted to open this... from the Mighty Yeowell
(http://cdn.comicartfans.com/Images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/uxhVYV0i_2203161130591.png)
I was wondering why my wife was taking an interest in my art collection the other week!
So a massive thank you to the staff of Rotherham College (particularly the Library Team)
Oh and with apologise as the scan does rather seem to have washed the blacks out a little. As with all of the Mighty Yeowell's art I own the blacks are wonderfully deep.
That's a beaut, truly. The Owl should only ever be seen in perfect B&W.
Where are you off to then, Colin? Sorting the man-cave shelving full-time?
Alas no man cave shelving yet (though strangely now you mention it it is time for an up date as much has happened, well in a not much sense...) no on to pastures new and nearer to home. After 16 year (gulp bloody hell) I'm good old FE no more and will be smelling the rarefied air of HE at Sheffield Hallam University from 4th April.
Very nice Colin, a great page from a fun Sin / Dex story by Abnett & Yeowell, from one of the end-of-year Progs if I recall.
Best of luck with the new job too.
Does anyone know if the original art for the cover of Prog 1 still exists? While perhaps not the most captivating cover given the classics that followed, it remains that historic first page.

A cracking page that, Colin. And yes, Steve's art can be tricky to get a good direct scan of, but that looks more than fine.
Well, it would have been rude not to. Directly from the main man himself...

A cracking page that Ming. I know snagging something from that story has been a long held dream, so congrats on finally being able to scratch that particular itch.
Shfff - lovely stuff from Cam and a classic story.
Some beauts from Carlos up there too, lovely to see the colour poster.
Those SD pages are superb - the start of a classic story, and not just Johnny and Wulf all those other SDs in the crowd, dervishes too.
And I agree, when it comes to getting pages from the man himself..it'd be rude not too..

Cor! Love that Carlos has apparently done an old-school correction by simply sticking a bit of paper over an area he didn't like and drawing it again. Well, I just love that he's still drawing in the real world full-stop!
Yeah that really is a little bit special. You must be dieing to peak under the stuck on paper!
Nice, but that punk cover to Crisis is a bit special, lovely stuff.
There's something really old school about Carlos drawing Tharg again that gets the hairs on the back of my neck standing up. I fully expect a Tharg adventure within the pages of this prog.
That image needs to be printed on pulp paper with the old colouring and logo - haven't seen this weeks prog so this may be moot.
Nice page btw, Skullmo.

Hello,
As a new forum member but long time lurker, I realise that people maybe unwilling to assist me with this,
But I was wondering if anyone can advise me as to how to contact Carlos Ezquerra with an eye to buying some original artwork and also getting him to draw a retro cover for my blank variant Johnny Red no1.
I was hoping to meet him to talk in person at the 2016 n.i.c.e convention in Bedford but his appearance is cancelled so no chance of that.
Anyway if you don't ask you don't get so hope this isn't being to forward as a second post.
Thanks in advance
Matt
Carlos is very easily approachable via his Facebook profile.
Thanks for reply, however I do not have a Facebook account, and don't really want one as I don't really agree with the company's policy on how they share and store your personal information ( tinfoil hat time I know,but I've managed without one for the last thirty odd years).
You could try messaging Julius/Skullmo ^^^ regarding comic art.
I'm not sure what kind of pages you were after - at LFCC he had some colour Dredd (Necropolis, some Mark Millar Dredd I think)
There was also some Stainless Steel Rat and a few b/w Strontium Dog pages.
Steve thanks for replying,
Black and white strontium dog and stainless steel rat stuff definitely the kind of things I'm interested in, as a big Battle fan I would also be interested in some of the stuff he did in battlefields with Garth Ennis (tankies)
Some lovely tiger tank vs firefly art in that if I recall correctly.
Regarding contacting skullmo am I ok to private message him? I realise I carry low credit within the community as a new member so don't want to break forum etiquette so early on.
Hippynumberone,
Some lovely bits of art in your collection, love the Bryan Talbot nemesis sketches, my absolute favourite artist for the character.
Sure it will be fine :)
I'm not sure how much art Carlos has from outside 2000AD - he tends to bring along mostly 2000AD work, but that could be just because it's what he's best known for.
Steve,
Thanks, that's grand.
Had the opportunity to meet Carlos in 2014 and got him to sketch Major Eazy for me and sign my collected edition of same, remember he had a sign saying he had original art for sale then at the convention but was to star struck to ask to have a look and thought it was probably outside my price range anyway.
Still kicking myself two years later.
For anyone interested he still has pages from classic and modern strontium dog, stainless steel rat, painted dredd, and many usa series. Feel free to message me as I've been helping him and so generally know most of what is around.
Many thanks for the help and advise so far guys.

I'm going to add an endorsement here. Skullmo was eminently helpful in assisting in the securement (is that a real word?) of a piece by his lordship. Lord Ezquerra is also incredibly pleasant to deal with directly. So, in addition to being an absolutely amazing artist and giving us decades of pleasure, he is also a great guy. Only in tooth! Also, the artwork in the flesh, so to speak, is outstanding.
Happy to help!
Speaking of which, here are some bits I picked up at the London Film and Comic Con last month:

In return for a small thing I asked PJ Holden to do me a quick sketch, gave him a few options and... well remember it was only a small thing I did for him look at this!

Love that Ladykiller page. Modern Ezquerra in B&W could pass for 1978 Ezquerra.
Consistent artistic genius.
Nice 'sketch' by PJ there too.
This arrived direct from John Burns today. It's beautiful!
Many thanks to Wiggz for sorting it out.

That's an amazing wall behind you, Shaolin Monkey!
Nice page Shaolin.
I was looking through some of my Daler folders earlier, and found mould - MOULD - growing on the inside cover of two of them.
Luckily none of the artwork contained was affected, and I've cleaned the folders up with white vinegar.
This bleedin damp kip of a country...
Aghhhhhhhh mould!!! :o
Oh dear.
Out of interest, and in expectations of future purchases, what is the best way to store / preserve / frame original artwork?
I have most of mine in archive folders but, apparently, you have to watch for mould! :o The pieces I have had framed have all been done professionally with acid free backing and museum glass where possible. It doesn't matter how you frame them, just keep the glass off the art!

I shuddered at the mention of mould. Seen enough of the damage done in my study, and the thought of lovely original artwork getting covered in gunk like that breaks my heart.

serious answer - living in a typical poky, pretty much unventilated London flat, this is one reason why I don't collect artwork, but can't resist this thread and the facebook group.

Nabbed purely by chance when chatting to Peter and John Wagner over a pint at the end of the first Lawgiver convention. We were discussing how a good letterer works hard to leave art unobscured, and Pete pulled his portfolio out to show some examples.
John started chatting about how he based Mrs Gunderson on his mum, and Peter said he drew Mrs Gunderson with his mum in mind too, purely by chance. He pulled out a page to elaborate.
At that point I noticed a price tag on the art and asked if it was for sale. It was way out my budget, but I bought it anyway, and lived on pasta and Tescos economy plum tomatoes for a couple of weeks. It was my most expensive bit of art purchased at the time. Now that accolade goes to my new John Burns page, and worth every penny!! :D

I know this is a definite no-no when framing photos as they stick to the glass, but is it really a problem with comic art?

Frame and display as much as you can I think, family and space permitting!
The most important thing is to keep it out of direct sunlight and use UV filtering glass (like TruVue).
I got a few quotes for professional framing and it's really expensive. Money you can spend on more art I reckon...
So I measure up the art and buy a standard black ready made frame. Then do the measurements for the mount. You can buy conservation quality mounts on the net and you enter your measurements.
Then when the fame arrives I measure the glass/plastic provided and order that size UV glass on line. I'm particularly careful about the glass measurements as it's expensive.
When you have all the bits, you put them all together and hey presto!
I think it's much cheaper than going to a framer but I also really enjoy the process of putting it all together myself.
Watch out though...it's quite an addictive hobby...(the art buying I mean, not so much the framing)
I just went to Wilkos for my frames!! I currently own a handful of pieces of original art but yeah it's quite addictive..so much so that I buy less (US) books so I can save up for more art!

You're potentially looking at the same problem. Glass pressed tight to ink can cause it to stick or spread, either way you end up wreaking the art. If it's painted art you will definitely ruin it.

Yes, his art looks fantastic in black and white. He was definitely a defining artist for me on Dredd, along with John Burns, King Carlos and Ron Smith in the reprint magazines that were available at the time I started collecting the Prog.
Always thought he captured the presence of Dredd perfectly, and drew for my money, one of the best Dredd panels ever in Bury My Knee... when Dredd turns away, saying "I'm sorry. I'm just doing my duty."

Peter has popped up on the Facebook art group to say that he's got other pages from that story for sale.
If you don't do Facebook I can pass messages on
That would be brilliant-thank you! Could i send you a PM?

Long time lurker. Seems as good a time as any for a first post.
Apart from that being one of the all time great pages from one of the all time great Dredd stories, the thing that's only just struck me about it, in a story where Dredd feels morally constrained by his duty as a judge, is how he's too big for all the panels he appears in. We can see Bub's full figure, but Dredd is consistently cropped by panel borders, hemmed in, constrained by the strip itself. That's brilliant.
(Blimey. The above was my 11,000th post. I'm glad it wasn't anything tetchy or contentious.)

And yes, now that you've pointed that out, it is rather clever and quite the introduction for our new member.

Interesting thought and a good example of why I keep keep checking in to this thread (apart from the amazing art of course). Cheers.

It came up on ebay at the beginning of the year. It may have flown under the radar a bit as the listing did not make any reference to the high regard the story is held in and, I would humbly suggest, this page in particular. It was only on a second viewing that I realised myself! Not complaining though!

A fantastic page by the Doherty droid - and proof that killer pages do pop up from time to time. (I totally missed this, btw).

Wow - nice one - for a long time I had every Scream! apart from the first one (which had sold out at all my local newsagents) so for me the second episode was the first episode until relatively recently.
Very nice Julius.
We discussed this previously, and I didn't think anyone had a Scream page in their collection.
Where did you -ahem- unearth it?
HI, new member here. I actually was hoping folks here would know a thing or two about a thing or two.
I acquired a piece of comic art and I was hoping maybe to get some information. Its a giant sized golden age large art page marked "judge dredd" and 558 on it. It was acquired originally from some shop in london in 1990 for 15 GBP, and has sit in a box since I discovered it. Would love it if anyone knew anything about the book, or the artist, or what its from :-) drop me a message or post here if you know!

That's the inimitable Ron Smith on art, from the Dredd story 'Bob & Carol & Ted & Ringo', Prog 348, if Google is to be believed...
Yep, Jim's spot on - the story ran in Progs 346-349 (1983); that page is from the first episode. Lovely artwork (as always) by Ron Smith.

An interesting titbit there. As a collector, art that is produced 100% digitally fills me with sadness, for obvious reasons. And having to go back to finish off the art physically to then be able to sell them on, seems like a lot of extra work. Though many artist do use the computer to fine tune/complete their art.
I know from the Sin City period, the Walker droid also did complete pencils, and then inked on a separate piece of board. So, 3 times the effort for later pages? Art, and the production of it, is certainly a complex thing, nowadays.
And always great to see more Ron Smith art pop up, zhamlau :thumbsup:

I got it directly from Mr Redondo - I have never seen any other screat art so it was good to know that he had had a few pages returned.
I also got this page - I just had a look at the Monster book and it is poorly reproduced and badly censored. Does anyone have a scan of the scream page (I have the comics but I cant get to them at the moment).
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/IMG_5201_zps4xthdawk.jpg)
Not quite what you asked as this is from the collected edition. I presume this is how it appeared in the comic.
(http://i144.photobucket.com/albums/r182/Caliban_photos/monster_zpsekj3pvut.jpg)
which according to some quick googling is indeed how it appeared in the comic.
http://2000adonline.com/post/543
In the Thrill-Cast the Scream! editor Ian Rimmer discussed how there was some managerial pressure from IPC who were keen to avoid a "comic-nasty" headline at the same time as the video-nasties fuss was raging.
Apparently Alan Moore's original concept for the rest of the story was thought to be too grim and was, ironically, locked away. Moore was also too busy for the rewrite because (with further irony) he was about to bring horror back to American comics in Swamp Thing, so Wagner & Grant took over and presumably toned things down a bit.
I assume that this IPC pressure also extended to the art department and the result is that last panel.

I'd love a page from Scream.
Carlos has some black and white pages for sale from the Prog 2000 special Dredd story (Pages 1 and 11 have been reserved). If anyone is interested drop me a PM.

Not bought any art for ages but then saw this on eBay going for a song. Seriously happy with it - a fantastic example of Sinister Dexter as song cold killers and a really clinicial page wonderfully paced and designed. Seriously given what I paid for this and the quality of the piece (its quite fantastic) if people are looking for a way into (or back into) collecting original art check out some of Patrick's work there's gold to be had!
Nice catch, and a cracking page! Ebay is a funny old place, but bargains are still to be had.
And there is a Patrick Goddard hole in my collection. Must look into this.
YeaH if you fancy slipping some Patrick in there a lot comes up on eBay. Mind you might get even more choice if you went direct.
Mind there's cheap fun to be had on eBay as my next buy will show when it arrives. Over on the other thread for that mind...
I think, though not 100% certain, that Patrick Goddard sells his art via eBay?
But yes, keen to grab a nice example of his stuff. A Savage page would be aces.
And as I'm here;
Thought Bubble was a blast, and I managed to snag a few bits of original art.
Made a beeline straight to Simon Davis' table. I just missed out on the Sinister Dexter panel he drew for Prog 2000, but I also had my eye on this piece, which I managed to snag
(http://i.imgur.com/nzOgKjg.jpg)
In a Prog chock-a-block full of talent, It's perhaps unfair to single any one person out, but he is simply outstanding, isn't he.
And from a modern master, to someone who is as old school as they come. Ian Kennedy, who is of course, a 100% British comics legend. He had a mouth watering selection of Dan Dare, Dredd, and Strontium Dog originals on offer. Just had to snag one. Wish I'd bought another...
(http://i.imgur.com/jFb5ni4.jpg)
Both pieces are very lovely..Simon Davis can do no wrong!
Yeah saw those on Faciebook and they are glorious. That Ian Kennedy picture particularly is beautiful.
My word Spikes, I wish I could have gotten up there with some dosh to catch up with Mr Kennedy. I would dearly love to snag a piece of his Dare artwork. I am green with envy!!!!!!
Was there much original 2000ad artwork for sale ?...
There was a fair amount. Boo Cook, Simon Davis, Ian Kennedy, Kev Walker, Mike Collins, Pete Doherty, Dylan Teague (I think?), amongst others were all selling original pieces. Maybe a few more was as well, but I didn't get round to seeing everyone unfortunately.
Most of the droids was also doing sketches.
I picked up a page from Pete Doherty and had a look through Simon Davis' and Boo Cooks collections of art. Amazing amount for sale and such reasonable prices.
I went to the Blackburn Comic Con yesterday and met Lee Carter and bought a few pieces of his original artwork,can anyone tell me what issue and Dredd story the last panel is from ? Most of the Carter Droids artwork was in separate panels that he then scanned...Great bloke as well and I also had a quick chat with John Ridgway.....

Wow really intrigued to see his process for interior art now. So does he draw images seperately for everything and then 'construct' it on computer? Fascinating.
I'm curious if anyone here got the double page spread from Dave Taylor that sold told? Used to be my screen saver absolutely wonderful piece.
Was at a conference all day and had warned the colleague I was with that I was with that I'd be disappearing to eBay at about 3.35. I saw the price this with about 15 minutes to go but she nudged me and said go for it... by the time I'd logged in all prepared to break my record for a piece of art it leap to a price that kicked me out of range, but I don't think was too much.
Congratulations to whom ever got it.
It's such a great image of the Big Meg. I got knocked out in the last few minutes too...
Worth every penny of what it went for. Would have gone higher myself if it wasn't tax month. Grrr.
I saw the Dave Taylor cityscape too- very nice. How much did it go for?
£401. Started at like £49.99 I think. I wish I could say it was only cos I'm saving money for 40th that stopped me gping higher!
Blimey! Worth it though.

Wow Charley's War - so rarely see that. Great stuff.
The realistic look of fear on that guy's face really sells it.
I've never read Charley's War. I wasn't really into war comics growing up, and that's kinda stuck*, although I did enjoy some of the Rogue Trooper (and expanded universe) stuff. But I'm wondering if Charley's War might actually be worth it. Not just for that phenomenal art, but from what I've read, the stance they take is rather different from the gung-ho stuff that's in a lot of war comics.
*I do remember reading one of those small COmmando comics once. Nice art, but I just didn't take to it.
Charley's War is something special.
There's a sort of random kinetic madness to everything he endures.
It's pure Pat Mills and should be on the curriculum.
Hey Mardroid,
Like you I never got into war comics, Battle, Warlord etc just never did it for me. And I love Charley's War. It's a fantastic story in it's own right, showing WWI from the pov of an underage volunteer. The art is phenomenal, not just in the forensic detail, not just in the character acting but down to the mud which you can practically hear sucking at peoples feet as they trudge through it.
They can be a bit pricey but I would recommend the lovely hardback editions Titan put out. You get one or two introductory essays on aspects of the war and/or the strip's creation, nice big reproduction of the story and Pat Mills' annotations at the back showing his research, where he found evidence for some of the more outlandish things in the script, and also his battles with editorial. It's something special alright.

Charley's War is a must - there is a reason that it is so highly regarded, and its not just the art. Pat mills crafts an excellent cohesive story and really focuses on characterization. I do have a bias as I love war comics, but I will tell you, this is one of the best and not to be missed.
RaggedMan's recommendation to collect the Titan HC editions is spot on. Its a beautiful collection that collects all 10 volumes (and looks great on the bookshelf). The essays also lend to the realism of the strips and add value to the collection. Recommended!
Some more here - I would have posted pics but Photobucket has become a total pile recently (can anyone recommend another image share site?)

Except for that pesky third volume missing the poppy. Why, Titan, Why? Do you have no idea how painful it is to look at it?

Ahh yes! This drives me nuts as well! I am still trying to figure out how to create a sticker for the spine so it will match the rest! Maybe scan the poppy from another volume and print it out on sticker paper to make an exact copy? This comes to mind every time I look at my book shelf.

Just to echo the unsurprising calls of 'Hell YES and three times YES' its so worth it. Its quite brilliant stuff. Its a kids comics and never forgets that. Quite miraclously though it retains an astonishly sharp undercurrent and it really is one of the greatest comics strips ever.
Thanks for the recommendations! I'll keep an eye out.

Okay so here's a question I'm planning to take some art to the 40th bash to get it signed. My plan is not just to get it signed by the artists (on those pieces where that isn't the case) but also the writers. But is that bad form?
I'm not fussed if people do or don't think its a good idea, to me it is BUT these are pieces of work by an artist and as such could it be seen as rude to get it signed by someone else i.e. the writer of said strip. I don't think it would be but I'm not sure if I'm right?
I would think that most writers would be happy to sign art - most of the time there wouldn't be a story to illustrate without them, after all.
I'll be traveling light on this trip so I can't bring any art over with me (boooo) but I'll have between one and three Project Sketchbook books to ogle with a bit of luck (yay).

You should have got a table and changed - I'd have paid!
I get a couple of painted pieces signed by Carlos Ezquerra that he'd done for the card series; he suggested that I asked John Wagner to sign them too.

If you need some extra reassurance, I took several original pages from Day of Chaos to Thought Bubble last year for John Wagner to sign.
And for the 40th bash, I'll be taking along yet another Day of Chaos page. But this time for Michael Carroll to sign.
(He wrote one DoC episode, as a fill-in, that appeared in the prog, but was never reprinted in the subsequent trades.)
Some really great pieces Sean, love the Laser Eraser & Pressbutton page by the late Steve Dillon.
Nice to see a bit of action back in this thread.
I have just put a few Dredd pages up for sale on CAF:
http://www.comicartfans.com/galleryroom.asp?gsub=180601
There's two by Chris Weston - the Sensitive Klegg cover prelim and a finished page from that story.
Two pencil prelim covers by Greg Staples.
A full colour page by Nick Percival from the Jonni Kiss storyline - with Dredd head-butting him.
If anyone's interested send me a PM over on CAF or on here.

Yep I'm hoping to get some stuff I'm very chuffed about up post 40th
Bit of a novice at original 2000AD art. I know that most US artists are represented by art dealers, etc, but is that so with 2000AD artists, or is it generally a case of getting in touch directly with the artists. Sorry if this is a really stupid question but after seeing some of the pages available at the 40th, and not having any way of transporting them home, I'm itching to get hold of some.

Most, if not all, of the 2000ad artists have some kind of online presence - Facebook is the best way to get in touch I've found. Most accept friend requests, and a polite PM can work wonders. There is a few 2000ad art pages to be found on FB, and a good few droids are members of one or the other.
I only started relatively recently (compared to some here) and to be honest by far and away the most useful thing I've done is ask questions here. The likes of Spikes, Ming, Hippynumber1, Link Prime, Skullmo and others who I'm too pig ignorant to remember off the top of my head have been so helpful.
Now of course being an angry and bitter man I hate each and everyone of them as they have collections that make your eyes melt and I don't mind being small minded and sore, but I have a grudgingly admit they have earned it and give so generously of their time, advice and often contacts that to resent them too much seems churlish.
They is good people.
Oh and join the 2000ad Original Art Facebook page as well that's very useful.
Finally know what you want as there's a lot of stuff out there and you can wonder aimlessly if you don't focus on what you are after and that can be expensive. Some one hear told me that and they were so right!

I go along the line of is there something you want (character/artist/story) but with many things it's been a matter of does the page grab you, if you flicked through several photos (or the pages themselves) and something stands out then go for that one even if it's not what you might think you were looking for.
I did that with one of Boo Cooks pages on Saturday (sad father of main character from Student Bodies) and with the Colin MacNeil one I got (Robot survivor from Insurrection) which ended up being a Megazine cover. They grabbed me :)

First original art for me (sketches excluded), nabbed at the 40th. You get tempted, you see.
Mike Dowling such a top artist :-)
It wasn't first choice! After commenting that the quality of every available page makes deciding very difficult, I hid my (slight) favourite (and said so) then located the ATM. Soon after, I find it's been snapped up. Ouch :-(
If the owner is listening, then:
a) curse your hide!
b) well done, excellent taste :-)
I don't know if it's habit-forming, but I do know it's damn lovely.

It isn't. Not one little bit. ;)
A cracking page, btw.
(http://i.imgur.com/fXpU0VV.jpg?1)
And Judge Dredd by Jesus Redondo. He brought a folder of pre-drawn pieces to the 40th, and I just had to buy one. Wasn't an easy thing to do, not least because each piece was amazing. Those Nemesis pieces...
But I have a Nemesis commission already from him, so It made sense to go for something different.
And more than happy to add this to my collection.
Fantastic Mike Dowling page there Fungus. I was so close to getting one of those (or one of the fantastic Unfollow pages he had on offer.). Had a fantastic chat with him while looking through his art and was pondering which way to go choice wise and decided to come back to it and see which one's pulled me back (often find if I leave stuff I'll soon discover what I want cos it'll keep popping back into my head). Anyway was pottering round and while looking at some Dom Readon page it became obvious to me I wanted a Ichabod page. Had a couple of signatures to get and with mind made up was going to return. The last signature of the day however led to a page I just assumed someone would have snapped up an age ago and so went the last of my spending money (I'll pop that page on later tonight with any luck).
But one day I will make good to Mike Dowling and buy one of his pages. They are so good! Great choice Fungus that was one I had in mind to get!
Cheers Colin.
I think I spent half my journey home thinking about those incredible Fegredos...
so busy was Duncan I think I ended up boring Sean Phillips while gushing about DF's art.
But his too - I'm not an animal...
The amount of great art in that room was just silly.
Got a nice sketch from the charming Lee Carter and two Anderson pages by Michael Dowling, which may or may not, be attached below...always had trouble with uploading here...
HA! That Anderson city scape was another of the pages I was considering buying off Mike Dowling at one point.When chatting to him he was discussing how he tried to get a sense of the different design periods of the city coming through you can see it was you explore that page. He also made the excellent point that you never see the topography of the city, which given its scope would be considerable and he's put that to rights quite superbly there with the hills dropping off to the sea.
Fantastic purchase Geoff!
That didn't really work.... but they can be seen properly here:

Thanks Colin, yeah, love that cityscape. I remember even when I was reading that story I was thinking.. I'd love the original art for that and thought of getting in touch with Michael Dowling...so I was amazed when it was just there.
So talented and a lovely bloke too!
Got some absolutely dream come true stuff at the 40th bash. First up since I suspect I'll never own an original piece from Nemesis Book 2 this sketch is by far the best thing I could hope to get.

Was so tempted by another piece he had with Nemesis vs one of his glorious spiders, but how could I resist Nemesis vs Torquemada. Just so happy to have this piece by one of 2000ad's most underrated masters.
And it begins...
Cracking pieces so far lads, in particular that Redondo Nemesis.
I bought a couple of pages on Saturday, my favorite being a Jaegir by Simon Coleby, but was limited to what I could purchase due to transport (over-sized or artwork not capable of being rolled was out of the question, meaning I had to pass up an astonishing David Roach piece).
By the way- Colin, Spikes, Ming, Hippy- can't believe I didn't get a chance to chat with ye on Saturday, we were probably centimeters apart at the bar...
That settles it- When Rebellion do this again we need to organise an actual message board meet in the bar.

Anyway to matters art and next up a truly special piece. I really love my Simon Fraser Dante piece. Its down thread somewhere and feature Lulu's last appearance, leaving our man shattered by a kiss. I adore it.The only thing it lacks was a sense of that Dante Swashbuckling attitude. So this weekend I bought this to make up for it...

One of the best Dante pages there, Colin, and thats saying something!

You had a massive grin on your face when you proudly showed me that page.
Good buy. Good to see ya too.
Dunk!

Always a delight to see you sir.
The pieces I managed to blag at the 40th.
An unused cover showing an older, wiser, stouter and more follically-challenged (I can relate) Dante.
(http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx31/Dunk_Nimmo/Dante_2000ad_40th_sml.jpg)
According to Simon meant as a companion piece to this classic.

And beautiful Purity, pursued by the shadows of Termite and a lovelorn Grobbendonk (which sold it for me)
(http://i739.photobucket.com/albums/xx31/Dunk_Nimmo/Purity_2000ad_40th_sml.jpg)
Well those two are absolute beauties Dunk they really are. The Dante one isn't one I spoted when I was looking through Simon's stuff, maybe ypu'd snapped it up first? Absolutely fantastic. Did Mr Fraser say why it wasn't used?
As for the Purity -WOW. Are the Torq and Terminators in grey water colour?

By the way- Colin, Spikes, Ming, Hippy, can't believe I didn't get a chance to chat with ye on Saturday, we were probably centimeters apart at the bar...
Yes, it would have been grand to meet up with you Rich for a pint and a good old chat about art.
I missed quite a few forumites, and a good few droids in the end. Too much going on, not that I'm complaining. Gonna have to be a 2 day affair, for the 41st anniversary convention.
And this IS exactly what I'm on about, in regards to the art folder that Mr Redondo brought with him. Dunk, and Colin those pieces you have are absolute crackers. :thumbsup:
Last one from me and while this one isn't quite as strong for me in some respects it is the piece I was most astonished and pleased to pick up. See I do make that mistake of assuming just 'cos something is stupidly significent to me doesn't mean it to others. But this page, in terms of impact, ranks up there with Dredd shooting himself in Apocolypse War, or the defeated Dredd at the end of DoC... well to me
(http://art.cafimg.com/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/rj2t1G55_1302171529181gpadd.jpg)
Its the page (well kinda I'll come back to that) where Dredd blasts through from his own strip into Simping Detective and the cross over is born (well okay I didn't click until about 2 pages later! But the smart amongst us...). I will always remember the massive impact of this issue and specifically this moment. The awe with which we all watched it. Going to Thought Bubble shortly after and it was the talk of the town. Just brilliant and this is the page (kinda) that brought it all home. So when Simon Coleby said he had (I'd just passed him my copy of 1809 to sign I only have Uncle Pat to go for the full set) it I hurriedly and excitedly skipped through his glorious collection of originals to find it and snapped it up...
... but as you can see ... well if you have Tordelback like memory, its actually 'wrong'. Simon explained that he wasn't happy with the original figure of Dredd kicking the door in. Redrew the top half (tracing the image but completely redoing Dredd) and then cutting the bottom panels out and pasting them up. He sent the corrected version to Tharg, who, for reasons unknown to Simon, went with the original one he wasn't happy with.
Cool story huh.
And cool page. I love the story, love the page and ADORE the fact that I seem to be the only one who is daft enough to think this is one of the most significent pages in Dredd's history. So happy with this one... now if anyone has the proceeding Henry Flint page I'd like to talk to them...
Thanks for posting these all. The Purity Brown and Dredd/Simping Detective are just great. Every bit as significant as you say, Colin.

No, just that they went with something else. I kinda like it's unpublished status.

Yeah, thick watercolour or gouache (corrected from gauche :)
Great art btw Colin.

So from the 40th bash;
Hammerstein by Ian Kennedy

A pre-drawn (2011, by the looks of it...) Dredd by Simon Fraser
(http://i.imgur.com/F7jWYn7.jpg?1)
A few more sketches for my Sketchbook. Amongst them a Rogue Trooper by Mr Gibbons.
(http://i.imgur.com/D8vmvfE.jpg?1)
And the only interior page bought on Saturday. Been hoping to snag a Simon Coleby piece for literally yonks, and now I have one.

Man I wish I'd had the money to snag one of those Ian Kennedy sketches. Not like I did bad but man they are great!

Lot's of fantastic pages available at bargain prices from the artists last weekend at the 2000AD event.
I picked up one page for myself, Anderson by David Roach.

Lovely.
Mr. Roach was selling some great artwork at very low prices at the event.
Would have loved to pick up a page from Nemesis Book VIII.
He found some Nemesis pages he had forgotten about - lovely work.
My hunt for some original artwork has somehow ended up in me commissioning an original piece from King Carlos. This has happened completely by accident but I am incredibly excited by the prospect.

Starting in at the deep end- excellent.
Have to say the biggest revelation from the 40th weekend for me was Jesus Redondo. Seeing a page of his work on Nemesis Book 2 up close at the Cartoon Museum exhibition (Think it belonged to Wake, many fine pieces at that show had his name on them) and the art he had in his folio and his personable attitude even though an interpreter, really made me re-evaluate him.
Now as an O'Neill Nemesis page eludes me (as it does many) I've set my sights willingly on a Redondo page.
Dunk!
Hot off the press.

Hi all, thought I would post up my (admittedly limited) set of pages. Apologies for the quality of the pictures, I have all the pages on display so they are all under glass.
First up, a Kev Walker page from Sin City featuring Dredd and Orlok.....
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/IMG_1306.jpg) (http://s95.photobucket.com/user/Simonipenter/media/IMG_1306.jpg.html)
A page from the mighty Steve Dillon from "city of the damned" (my first ever dredd graphic novel). This has everything for me, Dillon's Anderson (my favourite Anderson rendition), A Dillon Dredd and even features the story title.....
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/IMG_1304.jpg) (http://s95.photobucket.com/user/Simonipenter/media/IMG_1304.jpg.html)
A Carlos page from "traitor to his kind", an awesome full shot of Alpha and Wulf is in there too.....
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/IMG_1311.jpg) (http://s95.photobucket.com/user/Simonipenter/media/IMG_1311.jpg.html)
....and last but certainly not least, my all time favourite comic artist, 2 pages from the last Dredd story that Mick McMahon did for the prog...
(http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l150/Simonipenter/IMG_1308.jpg) (http://s95.photobucket.com/user/Simonipenter/media/IMG_1308.jpg.html)

Hope you like them. Simon.
The Dillon page is superb but, man, those McMahon pages are incredible.
I'm not an original art kind of guy, but I'm massively envious of all of those!
Thanks guys, if I just had a Bolland I could die happy.....but I'm so thankful for what I have that I'm certainly not complaining!
Clearly its ludicrous to have favourites amongst such glorious pieces BUT those McMahon pages are just something else.
Stunning
Cracking pages all, but really love the Sin City page. A real favourite tale of mine.
Wow SIP - all incredible pieces! Dillons Anderson perfectly captures her character in that image. My personal favorite there is Carlos' Strontium Dog, what a great page!
I am currently getting a few commissions done, will post them when they are completed and arrived! Could take a while though...
It's been so long since I posted on here I can't remember what the last piece I showed you was... With that in mind, here are the last three pieces I bought, apologies if I've shown any of them already.

Lovely to see more Boo on here, and that's a cracking page. :thumbsup:
And a newly arrived purchase; Dredd, and plenty of him, by the marvellous Dave Taylor.
Not got a copy of the Meg this was printed in - must track one down now, but Barney tells me it's Meg 223, and also it was Dave's first ever Dredd story?
(http://i.imgur.com/Xbx6HUp.jpg?1)
Nice to see some action on this page again - lovely stuff there especially that Dillon from one of my childhood favourites City of the Damned.
And I have finally got a Dolan page from another of my favourites Mean Machine:

And here a few classic thrill-pages that you will hopefully enjoy seeing - I have not seen many Day the Law Died pages so I was thrillled to get these, by Brendan McCarthy (with a little uncredited Ewins in there I think):

Great pages skullmo
Wow, awesome caligula pages!
Mark - great artwork there, that is one mean looking Slaine and the Hammerstein piece is particularly fantastic.
Skullmo, what a great selection of art - I haven't read Mean Machine but now want to based on the art alone. And those pages from the Day the Law died are incredible, lots of action and memorable characters within each page! I really like how his helmet is depicted during this era.
I bought these stunning pieces off Adrian Salmon recently. If you have the opportunity, buy something from him! Any help identifying the text story the first page illustrated would be gratefully received.

I recently requested a Rogue Trooper commission from Ian Kennedy (via Wiggz) and Ian delivered this stunning rendition of Rogue! He is still going to add a splash of blue for the background before he sends it to me. I love war comics and knew that he would draw the perfect Rogue, and did he deliver! I couldn't be more chuffed
The good new is that Ian enjoyed drawing Rogue so much that he did two more (different) pieces as well that will likely be for sale at some point soon - I'm sure Wiggz will have more details on that.
I also purchased a Dredd and a Strontium Dog, which I will post pictures of soon.
(Forgive the quality, just a photo not a scan)
Looking pretty good. :)
Very nice...
Yes, very nice indeed. Can't go wrong with a bit of Kennedy. :thumbsup:
Just for asking; Did Ian ever draw Rogue at any time in the prog or specials?
Cheers gents. Spikes, (I could be wrong, but) I don't think Kennedy ever worked on Rogue Trooper - however, based on his military art experiences (like Commando) I knew he would produce a fantastic Rogue! Also, I see you have an incredible art your self, including a couple of great Kennedy pieces.
hippynumber1 has and incredible Ro-Busters Kennedy painting well worth taking a look at too.
A couple of new pieces you may enjoy seeing:
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/052483_o_zpspmgng1pn.jpg)
A very memorable spread for me this one. Amazing. I can remember staring at this as a kid in the Titan reprint (I was too young for the original comic).
(http://i1157.photobucket.com/albums/p599/skullmo2000/IMG_7337_zpsnsbgs1us.jpg)
Probably my favourite Dredd foe - Fink Angel. I love the style McMahon was using at this time and I love this piece.
Carlos is king, but that Fink piece is on another level.
Both of those pages are absolutely blinding Julius!
The Ezquerra DPS is from such a great tale and that image FILLS the page.
And the Fink pin-up is a prime slice of McMahon. Love that period too. Just superb.
Jesus! That's a couple of beauties there!
Amazing. Both pieces are pages lodged in mind in such an iconic way that I recall them with immediate clarity. What great things to own. Congratulations!
There both brilliant...well done getting them.
That Fink page looks like McMahon applying his Slaine style to it (shoggy beast rather than Sky Chariots variant).
That Ian Kennedy Rogue is great; wonderful to see Ian in such demand for 2000AD art these days.
The Fink pin-up is simply amazing - lovely, lovely stuff.
This page arrived last week from John McCrea but he asked me not to post it until it had appeared in the prog,So here it is....

He also threw in this signed print for free...top droid

Here is another recent one. O'Neill Nemesis:

Well I'm speechless... but not...errr... typeless ... it would seem.
After the stunning quality of those previous two piece you put up you somehow manage to find a way to top yourself.
Quite incredible.
Wow Skullmo, those pieces are incredible! King Carlos is on top of his game there - so much detail.
Nice half splash McCrea page too Feeley Good, and that signed print is tops!
Great Googly.
So many years before the search engine.....
Stunning pieces Skullmo, lord knows how much you spent on them.
Another outstanding page! Remember that bottom left panel in particular...those walkways just twisting my mind!
Certainly some mouth wateringly wonderful pieces landing on here of late.
That McMahon... :o
Anyroad, Mr Posty delivered this for me today. I do love a bit of Dave Taylor, and I do love this page. Those bottom 2 panels :)
As my Meg collection is more than a bit patchy, I do not own, nor have even read, this story.
Guessing here; This is from the Big Robots Anderson story, and as some pencils around the edges note that it's from part 3, that would make it from Meg 259???
If anyone on here knows the exact issues it is from that would be grand.

I have this page of original Kev Walker artwork that I think might have been for 2000 AD.
Can anyone help with a series name and publication details, please?

Welcome Terry.
That's a lovely Kev Walker page from Badlands (by Abnett & Walker), Progs 1178 - 1182.
The last time Walker's lush painted artwork graced the Prog, even if it was already several years old by time of publication if I recall.

The series was originally published in one of Atomeka's Monster Specials and re-published in an expanded form in 2000AD a few years later. IIRC, Kev re-worked a number of pages, and drew several brand new ones. I'm pretty sure this is one of the brand new ones for 2000AD — I was talking to Kev regularly back then, and I remember him saying how challenging it was to try and remember exactly how he painted three years previously.
I know he and Dan had talked about doing more, but for whatever reason that sadly never happened.
Very interesting Jim, cheers.
Was the series originally called 'Fargo'? Just noticed the description at the top of Terry's page.
Thanks, all, for the info on my Kev Walker page. Appreciated.

I think that was the original Atomeka strip's name, and I
think the name change for the 2000AD version came quite late in the day...
You're welcome Terry.
Feel free to post more artwork if you have it- this thread always appreciates new additions.
Edit- Cheers again Jim.
I suppose publishing a "Fargo" strip in 2000AD would have raised a few eyebrows.
That was the only 2000 AD page by Kev that I own. I do have about a dozen Magic the Gathering paintings, including this one (which was used for a MTG book):

If you don't see the artist's name on my CAF home page, I don't have anything by him (or her).
As it is, I prefer the British quad movie poster designs over the American one-sheets . . . and Struzan artwork is a tad expensive!

I've no plans to release the Ron Turner DALEKS page, sorry, it took me a long time to get that one example . . .
Been a bit quiet for me on the old collecting front of late, but have just received this from Mr Goddard today. Pencils by Patrick, and inks by Dylan Teague.
(http://i.imgur.com/kkcDIpn.jpg?1)
Not entirely sure which particular issue of the Meg this is from (From the Rennie scripted Hong Tong 2 parter, that appeared in Megs 209/210 from 2003??) so if any kind Squaxx knows the answer to that, that would be much appreciated.
For those that are interested, and I suspect a few folks round here might be, Cam Kennedy is selling some stone cold classic 2000AD pages on his site. (https://www.kennywho.co.uk/2000ad)
Oh man there's some great work on there! If I had money and space I'd be looking to get some classic Dredd pages... but alas I don't. :(
A few bits that I got from that there Cardiff.
Dredd by Dylan Teague.
(http://i.imgur.com/2kdvrN0.jpg?1)
Savage Book 10: The Marze Murderer - Part 1 by Patrick Goddard.
(http://i.imgur.com/rbCWAZg.jpg?1)
And Judge Dredd Day of Chaos: Eve of Destruction - Part 1 by Henry Flint. (Thanks to Wiggz for arranging this one)
(http://i.imgur.com/Uti4C3N.jpg?1)
Dylan just gets better, doesn't he? That is a stunning study of Dredd.
Thanks for sharing.
All great Iain.
I'm a big fan of the underrated Goddard Droid-that's a well chosen piece.
Three top pieces there Spikes. I know the price of pages goes up if it shows the main character and depends on what theyre doing, so Bil Savage + Volg cannon-fodder + shootah has got to be a top pick! And that Dredd page is amazing - it tells so much of the story of DoC in one wordless page: dead guy > Dredd > microscope > bugs > oh stomm
Patrick had a pile of original art pages THAT thick, at the Cardiff con, which was brilliant, because he was one of the droids I never got chance to meet at the 40th bash. Been hoping to snag a nice representative example of his work for some time, and I couldn't quite believe that such a page was still available. Definitely struck lucky.
As for price; Nowhere near as much as you might think. Patrick's pricing at Cardiff was very reasonable to say the least.
Those looking to snag a page by him - and who wouldn't, can do what others have done, and contact him via Facebook. And he also sells his art on eBay from time to time as well.

Spot on lads, I've picked up a few gorgeous pages from him too (Dredd & Aquila).
Prices were simply unbelievable.
Browsing art I can't afford, I came across these iconic pages coming up for auction:

There are also Watchmen, Swamp Thing and V for Vendetta pages available for those with more disposable cash than me. It'll be interesting to see what these go for.

And a Carl Critchlow page from the IDW Anderson series
So I popped my original art cherry. Bit of an impulse buy but Finger of Suspicion is one of me favourite Dredd one offs by one of me favourite Dredd artists and to own it all is a terrific buzz and its just beautiful. Cam's such an amazing storyteller its possible to follow the story no problem without the balloons. But of course the script is glorious on this one too.
Thanks a mill to Mark for sorting it. Tons more beautiful work at https://www.kennywho.co.uk.
Delighted :D
Extremely Impressed. I imagine owning the whole strip greatly increases the collectability.
Fantastic stuff - that's a great, great way to pop your art cherry! Definitely a story that deserves (and needs) to be kept together (I considered picking it up from Cam years ago but then he found some covers :o). Finger of Suspicion is an absolute gem of a story - will have a re-read later if I can dig out the Progs.
Judge Dredd, by Cam Kennedy and a whole episode to boot! What a superb first purchase.
Welcome to the joys (and the heartache) of art collecting. Unless you have a will of iron...this is just the beginning..
Currently $2000 for the Bisley Horned God page, with a couple of days to go. Relatively cheap, I think (but well outside my budget):
https://comics.ha.com/itm/original-comic-art/simon-bisley-2000-ad-688-wrap-around-cover-original-art-fleetway-1990-/a/7166-92043.s?ic4=GalleryView-Thumbnail-071515#7166-108001
Pretty sure that will go significantly higher...
The Murray Dredd cover is at $6500 at mo, pretty sure that'll go significantly higher too!
The Murray one has the benefit of featuring Batman, Dredd, the Joker and the Dark Judges.
In my minds eye I see an American comic fan, possibly with a hotdog in one greasy hand, grasping at the Bisley page. "How much do y'all want for the Conan page?".
*Apologies to any Americans who read this. Feel free to ascribe any negative national stereotypes to me. They're probably accurate.

Update on the auction: the Bisley Slaine DPS went for around $11k and the Murry Dredd cover for around $23k. Er...don't suppose either went to anyone on here...?

Here's what I blew all my hungover cash on at the 40th birthday bash. It doesn't quite belong in the "2000AD Original Art" thread, but then it definitely doesn't fit the "Non-2000AD Art" thread either.
I was in the hall early enough to have the pleasure of flipping through the whole set of John McCrea's Dredd Deviations art. There were two standout pages and, after a bit of thought, I went for this final splash page. It's really interesting how the colouring of the published version has softened the tone of the story slightly.
(https://i.imgur.com/lm7gROO.jpg)
Oh, I think that piece more than qualifies for this thread, Cosh. Cracking art from the McCrea droid, who just gets better and better imo.
And I've still not picked this Deviations tale. Must pull my finger out...
Fresh from Thought Bubble;
A pre-ordered commission from the legend that is Ian Kennedy. I had bought a Hammerstein piece from him at the 40th bash, so definitely needed to get a Ro-Jaws to go alongside that. And I asked for a green glow effect, as opposed to Ian's more usual use of orange or red. Seemed more appropriate for a smelly old sewer droid, ;)
(https://i.imgur.com/LwYukSp.jpg?1)
And whilst at Ian's table, my eye was caught by this chap, and I couldn't resist.
(https://i.imgur.com/UBzr9cf.jpg?1)
Also managed to secure a few more sketches for my book.
The Walking Dredd, by the Adlard droid

Whilst super happy with all my purchases, I was mega pleased to have finally met up with INJ Culbard. Gotta be Wren, innit.

It is slightly baffling, isn't it?
Amazing Artwork Spikes! Ian Kennedy is one of my all time favorite artists.
Several months ago I ordered three commissions from Ian: Dredd, Strontium Dog, and Rogue - interestingly, he told me (via Wiggs) that it was the first time he had been asked to draw Rogue!
The artwork showed up and it is mind blowing - I'm currently getting them framed together and will post when complete!

I'm just glad Ian is back on the radar, 2000AD-wise. He's been held in such high regard by so many for so long but his 2000AD work seemed only a vague memory when I first approached him for the Project Sketchbook piece (nearly five years ago now); unsurprising given his decades of comics output. Anyway, it's been fantastic to see him working on so many 2000AD commissions since then (not to mention that wraparound Prog cover); I think he was probably fairly surprised to find himself in such demand for these and the quality of his work at the age of 85 is just astonishing.
A couple of pieces I picked up at Thought Bubble on Saturday...First up a sketch,if you can only call it that ! from Tom Foster,he did a cracking job ! And then a page from Trevor Hairsine from his story Skulls which he did with Rob Williams,Rob was sat next to Trevor so I got them both to sign it.....
(https://i.imgur.com/RNp9dty.jpg)
(https://i.imgur.com/WGBtNmT.jpg)
I could have spent hours looking at Tom Foster's art, als he wasn't selling, but man it was beautiful... just it would have got weird after the first couple of hours and it'd made him uncomfortable... still it was tempting...
It was amazing wasn't it !!! How many people over the weekend do you think asked him how much his pages were... :D

Well given that he has a Dave Gibbons Doctor Who cover for Marvel, that wasn't even a cover (as he explains in the description) at the same price prehaps not!
Lovely page of Hairsine art! Always liked his work and it's a pity he's not in the prog more.
So it's cool to get the writer to sign original art too? I was thinking about bringing 'Finger of Suspicion' for John Wagner to sign the next time he's doing a convention near London but was wondering (in my naivety) whether that's the done thing. Seems like it is so looking forward to getting John's John Hancock on the six pages :D
While I was at Thoughtbubble I took a page of Henry Flints art with me from the Day of Chaos storyline and got John to sign that aswell, he was more than happy to do so.. :D

Great pages.
For me, one of the highlights of the 40th bash was chatting with Dave / watching him sketch for an hour.
Absolute gent.
Aye, Dave is a complete gent, so pleased to see his work gracing the pages to the Galaxies Greatest properly.
From Prog 1947; Enceladus: Old Life - Part 8.
Brought a right old lump to my throat when I read this page when it was first published.

You're building quite the collection my dear Dr.
Cheers Link....but you should have seen some of the page's I've had in the past and let go :'(
A lovely pair of pages, Steve. Flint and Goddard: Two droids I'm very partial to. :thumbsup:
And I totally missed the Goddard story in the New Scientist, as well. Seeing your page over on CAF, and it's title, had me googling away.

Hi all,
first post here after lurking for a bit - have been a member of the 2000AD art facebook group for a bit but for some reason it didn't occur to me until recently to join the 'mothership' forums :D
based in Singapore, so I can't pop by the nearest convention to pick up some pages, but this thread has been a wealth of information about members and dealers selling stuff so I hope to increase my hoard sooner rather than later - appreciate any tips of course! ;) i have some decent commissions coming in, but there's another thread for that ... :P
i can't edit my profile yet, so here's a quick link to my CAF page - mostly US comics, but some work by the artdroids floating about here and there :
http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=104997 (http://www.comicartfans.com/GalleryDetail.asp?GCat=104997)
anyway, enough about me, here's some art :

Off to a very nice start there, monkeygod! Looking forward to seeing the commissions emerge - it's great to be able to deal with artdroids direct and the results are usually something a little extra-special.
thanks ming - my biggest regret coming late to the party isn't the missed opportunities since my wallet probably wouldn't have been able to cope then (or now for the really good pieces), but browsing back into the thread a lot of the photo links have expired so i didn't get a chance to ogle over those :)
king carlos was a delight to work with - he agreed to color the piece he finished for me, so i shall wait until that is done to reveal it. the other ... turned into a multi-character piece which required me to dig up a personal record-breaking number of reference shots (over 350) for the artist, so 'extra special' may not be the right description? i think he had fun with it though? he's gone a bit silent this week so lets see what finally emerges ;)
That Cam Rogue piece is knock out. Art to treasure, Mark. And @ Monkeygod - cracking Carlos commission you have there, :thumbsup:

I will never own a Bolland, :'(
That page is something else, the best Dredd art ever, imho.
Though I think I'd prefer the JCQ page the seller has listed.
A fondly remembered page, for me. The first time I really took notice of Brian's work (and Ron Smith's, for that matter.)
Still my favourite Dredd artist ever....
Kevin Walkers's Mean Machine pencils

I absolutely love Kev Walkers artwork......it looks so deceptively simple. Great stuff.
Finally get to show this off - technically not from 2000AD, but a cover for the upcoming IDW 2018 Judge Dredd series "Under Siege".

A local artist I follow, Alan Quah, posted a WIP teaser on his facebook. I messaged him about the piece and luckily, even though I hadn't purchased anything from him before, he remembered meeting me at a couple of conventions so we managed to strike a fair deal. Before I could receive the piece though, Alan contacted me to inform me that his editor requested a change from the original Lawgiver Mk.1 to the in-continuity Mk.2, which is why the one-off prints show the published 'Day' version with the Mk. 2 and an alternate 'Night' version with the Mk. 1 :)

Been out the game for a while now but The Mighty Yeowell's recent run in Sinister Dexter pulled me back, it was an absolute masterclass... here's the first of three I bought of him.
(http://art.cafimg.com/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/yE530BEn_3105180504481gpadd.jpg)
and some thoughts I added over at Comic Art Fans
QuoteNot buying much these days but Steve Yeowell's recent run on Sinister Dexter has pulled me back into the game.
Its this page that started it all (though I ended up getting three!). Its so kinetic and really captures the small changes The Mighty Yeowell has made in his art to raise it even beyond what it was. This page is just so dramatic and the energy in the situation just leaps off the page. As ever in the flesh there's so much that doesn't come off in the photo - oh and Steve includes a page of pencils as well as the final inks with each purchase. Seriously if you are looking for great value in beautiful art there is no one quite like Steve Yeowell. An absolute 2000ad master!
That page is Ace the Mighty Yeowell shows his guns [pun intended]. He makes it look seemingly effortless as well!
It really is a heck of a page- the panel of Mr TheDevil firing is just astounding.
He really is a talent isn't he. And here's number to and I got this one cos its just such FUN!

Last of my Mighty Yeowell goodness here. This is such a gloriously brutal page. Just look at the middle panel bottom row. The reflection of the good almost a pleading eye begging for mercy, before the final panel's cool hard response. Now that's storytelling ... would love to know if that was scripted... I should have asked Mr Steve.

Thanks, folks - it's possibly the most beautiful piece of art I have, from a story quite unlike anything before or since.
Sublime colours. Thought you were retired from the ol' collecting lark, ming?
Just when you thought you were out...
I've only ever been semi-retired, really. Always there to be tempted by the odd Midnight Surfer page or some McCarthy goodness... Mainly though, I'm just living vicariously these days (and concentrating on Project Sketchbook).
From the modern master Dredd artist Chris Weston.
Arrived today..
Stunning work from the Weston droid there. Congrats on acquiring that, Geoff
That's the best piece of artwork I've seen in ages..
This arrived yesterday ,i've been after a Mechanismo page for ages....(https://i.imgur.com/oNMZNZ1.jpg)

By 'eck, now that is really something :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
That Weston piece needs to be a A1 print. That's amazing.
Tbf all the art on display in the last few pages has been amazing. I'd love to read all of yeowells sin Dex run in black and white.

Consider me very jealous....I absolutely love this picture.
It's one of the best Dredd pictures I've seen in years. Feels like a classic 80's Dredd, with serious extra "mood" added.
I had a few pieces from Brendan McCarthy arrive recently; nothing 2000AD-related among them* but Brendan did throw in this recent Mickey Swift drawing, which was nice.

Some nice dark inking by The Stapler.
Picked this fine Jaegir piece up from Simon Coleby at the 40th bash.
So good it even made the stoic G. Rennie burst into tears of joy* when he signed it for me.
* A lie.
That's a great page. I'm a fan of everything Mr Coleby does, but his Jaegir work is absolutely outstanding.
Yes, I have always loved Simon Coleby's stuff- it was a pleasure to meet the man.
I quite enjoy 'process artwork' and snapped up a few Mark Harrison Ten-Seconders pages a while back, still great, even without his digital magic.
More Ten-Seconders...
Last one.
Somethin for the ol sweet tooth.
Lovely pieces all Rich.
The Coleby droid really does produce some stunning work for Jaegir. A page by him is essential in any tooth art collection, I'd have thought. Thank Grud, for the 40th bash, eh?

Indeed. I was on a strict budget though, walked away from so many potential purchases it physically hurt.
Anyway, Colin's recent enjoyable wittering on 90's Slaine reminded me that I have a few pages of pencils from The name of the Sword.
Really nice stuff from a young Greg Staples.
This one works better with the blacks painted in!
Good old Ukko.
Lots of awesome art lately! Link, youve been busy! Great Slaine art (I really like the Ukko page) and I especially like the Jaegir piece from Simon Coleby - artwork from Coleby is on my Want list for sure!
I recently picked up this awesome Harsine piece (thanks Mark!) and am in the process of getting it framed.

A gorgeous bit of Ridgway there and a classic moment, too!
Eamonn, that is a real grail page you got there! Congrats. I was rereading The Dead man last week and playing the 'grail page' game all the while, so much great art to choose from!

I used to own the previous episode's last page to this. Wish I'd kept it now, but it went to a good cause.
From PROG 457 (Max Bubba aka The Ragnarok Job). A very large and detailed piece of work from the late great king Carlos Ezquerra. I love it!

Now before you do anything rash I hope this isn't one of the three pages I've been stirring at thinking ...
"As soon as I shift some comics to raise funds I'll be contacting that there Colin MacNeil."
as there have been some simply glorious pages in the last three weeks. Good luck picking up what you are after I know a few folks here have contact with Colin so fingers crossed.
Cheers Colin. Yep,yep, yep. The art on Machine Law has been just stunning. Me jaw has dropped a couple of times. What a story. Wagner and MacNiel of unbelievable form. It's just one specific page so fingers crossed 🤞

"I know many stories and legends about the Nemesis, child, for I am very old and very wise. But perhaps the most famous is the story of Olric's Great Quest!"
Genius in every line, every panel a minor masterpiece; witness the insane geometry of Kevin O'Neill in the legendary tale of a simple varkherd named Olric... Nemesis the Warlock: The Sword Sinister, from the 1981 2000AD Sci-Fi Special.
I've been mesmerised by this story since I first read it as a kid and it's hard to believe that an original page from this now sits in front of me. The final reveal of Nemesis - only hinted at before, with glimpses of his Blitzspear in Terror Tube and Killer Watt - was a huge event for me. It would be a couple more months before Nemesis made his debut proper in the Prog but I was already hooked; Pat Mills' writing combined with Kev O'Neill's incredible art definitely made its mark on my still-forming brain. There's a lot of old-school 2000AD stories and art that I love but this is pretty much top of the heap.

Some amazing artwork there, love the Kraken cover and that Nemesis page is something else!

It's just fantastic, and great that it has found an appropriate home.
Fittingly, the first and last panels could also sum up your life as a 2000AD original art collector.
Wow that is a bit special Ming. I know its a very minor point on a page of this quality but I even like the way the lettering paper has coloured!
Thanks, fellas. It's an amazing bit of art and one of those time-machine pages that instantly transports me back to my childhood; so very lucky to have been able to pick this up.

Lovely pages there O1s1n - I used to own the satanus one back in the day. Did you see there was a guy on Ebay with a load of John Hicklenton pages - he had some really nice Nemesis ones as well.
I remember you had that page alright, I think you offered it to me at one point many moons ago :) couldn't say no when I saw it pop up for sale again.
I was in touch with that guy on ebay alright, seemed almost too good to be true. Had bit of a chat with him, said his granddad once gave John's parents a loan and to say thanks, they gave him 30 pieces of his artwork!
I tried for a while to get him to sell me three lovely Nemesis pages but he was convinced ebay was the way to go. Someone had him convinced the lot was worth 30-40k. Haven't seen them pop up after those recent Dredd pages he had listed unfortunately.
Must get in contact with him again to see if he's changed his mind. I don't know if you saw his other pages (he sent me on a load of scans) but there was a dream page from towards the end of the Two Torquemadas which I'd just assumed had been lost to time - really is amazing when something like that just turns up out of the blue.

Yup - lovely page indeed! (Although as a kid the idea of anyone but Bolland inking Bolland was like fingernails down a blackboard.)
Is the Letratone that prone to aging badly? I think the earliest artwork I have with it is a McMahon Cursed Earth page (Prog 66) and that's still looking great... I guess it's partly down to how the art's been stored / handled / displayed.

Less so than the paper and ink they used for the lettering! I know (from having tried to use the damn stuff many years ago) that it's not
especially sticky, so it is prone to peeling, especially if it's been trimmed to sharp points to fit a particular shape/space.
A nice bit of Austin Dredd

Yeah that Sov is great!
I picked up a couple of Necropolis pages at Lawless the other week.

Alan Craddock's regularly cited as ensuring classics like

Judge Dredd became a strip that regularly featured line art with production line colour added as an afterthought
* - especially when it was running alongside sumptuous painted art - added to the feeling that it had become devalued.
* Dondie Cox and Gina Hart would bring a greater level of professionalism to the process of colouring photocopied line art, but there's no comparing even their best efforts to a talented artist colouring their own work.

I don't own this - Mark Willis does* - but this makes me wonder what other delights died on the rack of Fleetway's early nineties drum scanner.
* Or he did 2 years ago. Direct link to better quality image, since 2000ad's forum does the same to art as their print department used to do in the days of Baggy- https://i.imgur.com/xxQ338i.png?1
I'd imagine just about all the painted art suffered at the time, not just the scanning but the printing, paper quality, etc.
I'd love to think the owners of the originals would be happy to provide quality new scans of the pages for new editions (at Rebellion's expense), but that sadly doesn't appear the case for the most part.
I'm thinking of one person in particular here...

Barney's scan of this isn't great either*, but there's a whole alternate version of the eighties and early nineties here, where you could at least discern the subtle differences in technique and palette among the Bisley Delugers.
Unlike the Phillips image above, Nick Percival's finish is quite rough, but at least the vibrancy of the colours gives it a sort of energy and individuality missing from the identikit version that made it onto the cover.
* I don't think the gold effect on the text helps the brightness and contrast levels
It's 20+ years since I've seen the original but the photo on the left looks waaaaaay too bright, as if someone's gone big on the brilliance setting with their iPhone camera filters. But I could be entirely wrong!

I think I know the person you mean. I've had one interaction with the guy. It was a simple transaction- offer made, offer accepted- and he still managed to sour the thing. I haven't gone back to him since. Shame really, since he has a ridiculously large amount of art.

Thanks all! All a lot of very hard work but also lots of fun.
Anyone who has witnessed the great Henry Flint struggle, like Tesla, with the elemental force of electricity itself will understand why he needs a quick sale of this gorgeous art.

Original Art heads are speculating that the mystery buyer of Dredd stuff might be Manuel-From-Fawlty-Towers-Shame broadcaster, Jonathan Ross
*. He bought the McMahon Dredd-In-Big-Chair (https://i.pinimg.com/originals/41/e4/24/41e424531fe6aa23928602a19eea0d1c.jpg) cover that was recently up for auction, apparently.
I noticed this detail on the original art, which made me laugh:
(https://i.imgur.com/IiAwu2f.png?1)
* Although, like every UK comic fan of his age, Ross's primary interest is in sixties Marvel, he seems to have a genuine interest in some aspects of 2000ad art, rather than just being a speculator or compulsive collector: https://youtu.be/62zIih0bdLc?t=598

Stunning piece up on eBay by Chris Weston. Many will have seen this via Faciebooks I'm sure but just incase I think this deserves as much exposure as possible - even for those of use for whom it is well out of range.

Yeah, that's a stunner - absolutely jaw-dropping work by That Nice Mister Weston.
I picked up another beautiful Rogan Gosh page a while back, one of my favourites from the whole story. There's so much going on in this page and it's as good an example of McCarthy's artistry as I could wish for. Milligan's dialogue on this page is just as good as the art - one of those pieces I love as much for the words as for the pictures.
(https://i.imgur.com/FHTeZRf.jpg)
I got a few other McCarthy bits and bobs recently but I'll dump those in another thread later.
Oh wow, just wow.
That's incredible. I don't know if I've ever seen a McCarthy piece for sale, and that ones an absolute beauty. Where did you find it, if you don't mind me asking?

It was listed on Heritage Auctions, a US-based site (https://www.ha.com/). They've had a few McCarthy pieces there over the past few years (I've bought a few); I think most have come via the art dealer Albert Moy, who bought a huge pile of stuff from Brendan about 10 years ago (I think).
I've found a few McCarthy pieces on eBay over the years but they don't seem to pop up often.
Brendan also sold off some stuff himself recently; nothing 2000AD-related but a few gems (he emailed out a list, first come, first served. I'll post some pieces in the non-2000AD art thread later).
CalHab, there are a few McCarthy pieces available here (http://www.kochcomicart.com/ArtistGalleryRoom.asp?ArtistId=1386&Details=1) but several of these were bought from Heritage and are just being resold at inflated prices (earlier Heritage sales here (https://www.ha.com/c/search-results.zx?Nty=1&Ntt=brendan+mccarthy&Ntk=SI_Titles-Desc&N=790+231&ic10=OtherResults-ViewAll-071515)). Buy a page for under $300, sell it on for $1,200... Art dealers, huh?

There is some lovely stuff but as you say seems quite expensive (mind a lot of art is going that way). $100 for a single colour guide wow!
I was watching that Kev O'Neill page on eBay, and noticed quite a few other pages up at the moment. Prices seem like they're falling, which wouldn't be surprising. Or is it just the pages I'm watching (which aren't the top end of the market)?
How do you find the Kevin O'Neill page?
I mean there's probably no way i'll ever be able to afford anything but it's nice to dream occasionally!
Prices on eBay of the type of thing I'm looking at seem to be much of a muchness. At the moment I'm still getting some great deals - hopefully without the artists feeling short changed - by contacting artists direct or dealing with their 'agents' or in the case of some just folks who help out cos they are nice (Wiggz if you still come here, yes that's you!).
There are also a couple of 2000ad original art groups on Facebook worth checking out. You could certainly ask about Kev O'Neill stuff but I'd imagine folks would be reluctant to sell - but there has to be a point when stuff moves on...

Man that is a fantastic page. While its 'just' an Annual page from a lesser known DC title there's so much Kev O'Neill about it!
Yeah, it's distinctively grotesque! I thought it would go for more, but maybe the title and lack of a big name character counted against it?
I had a nosy on HA.com and Kevin O'Neill prices seem to be all over the place. I really don't understand the pricing of original art.
Speaking of wildly under valued art Patrick Goddard has some more of his insanely cheap art up for grabs at the moment. This time from the lastest Aquila - if you could all just avoid the page I'm considering...

If it had been a Nemesis page (pretty much any O'Neill Nemesis page) the price would have been higher - maybe around the £1k mark? I suspect you'd be able to pick up some O'Neill's earlier US-based stuff for fairly low prices, while LoEG-related art is going to be much more in demand and therefore have a higher price tag attached. Not that I know much about O'Neill art prices, having only the cover I got when he sold some pieces through a gallery some years back and the 'Search for Excessus' page that popped up through a third party on Artdroids.
Quote from: CalHab on 27 May, 2020, 09:02:32 AMI really don't understand the pricing of original art.
Nobody does. It's all over the place and you can put whatever price you like on something if you're selling but that doesn't mean anybody's necessarily going to pay it. 'Value' of art is entirely subjective; people can and do pay huge sums for stuff simply because it means a lot to them.
Picked up a couple of Noam Chimpsky pages from the ever lovely PJ Holden - first up one of my favourite Dredd page without Dredd.

Oh and while we're on PJ don't forget his live sketch show is 8pm tonight
You did well to get that cover. Think that is a definite contender for cover of the year.
Thanks to the lovely Wiggz - who hangs around here. I managed to grab a couple of Henry Flint pages when he offered to help sort folks out with Proteus Vex pages - first up one from that series.
I've loved the concept of the pilot and so this was my first choice from that series - though might go back for one with the space ship in as well if I get greedy!
(https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/kxTk6uoP_0606200717391gpadd.jpg)
Next one supplied by the wonderful wizard that's Wiggz. Think this just about qualifies for this thread rather than the none 2000ad one.
I adored Hell Machine on the recent Action Special and asked after this page when buying the Proteus Vex page and was delighted when Wiggz (and Henry of course) came up trumps.
(https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/tTmeqizE_0606200724181gpadd.jpg)
Nice stuff Colin.
Always welcome to see new stuff on this thread, even if it's personally a hobby that has cooled off significantly.
Following on from Colin's great Henry Flint pages, here's a pair I picked up from Proteus Vex (thanks again, Wiggz!). These are just a delight - so much going on and Henry certainly looked like he was enjoying himself on this series.

That's the one! It was a very striking page when I first read it - there's a lot going on and huge amounts of detail there but it's all so well handled that the page doesn't feel overly busy, more the kind of page you lose yourself in. The second page I love mainly for Midnight Indicating Shame peeping out from behind Vex's shoulder in the lower panel.

Dan Cornwell
You can probably see why I bought this page from Dan.
Spoilery as funt (for me, as I've not got to this bit yet) but isn't it lovely? Those faces? I'm loving seeing how much Dan is improving as an artist and a storyteller.
I've commented elsewhere but see no reason not to repeat myself here that is wonderful. Its made me crave a page from Rok The God (or Rod of the Reds) and bet I need to get my skates on as they'll be getting snapped up I imagine.

Apologies for spoilers.
For anyone who hasn't got there yet I'll point out that that page is a TV replay of a match from the first book so technically not?
To be fair main character in football comic scores goal ain't that much of a spoiler?
Meant to post this last night but I was too busy 'chatting' to Dan about options and then taking the plunge. But Dan is selling a load of art from Dredd, Rok of the Reds, Rok the God and others. You can get in touch with Dan via Facebook to get prices on pages and can I say they are insanely good. I mean really good prices.
You know when you see old catalogues of original art and gasp at the prices, I reckon in a few years we'll be saying this about the prices here as Dan's art makes him a superstar.

If I hadn't literally just stuck a Dan Cornwall page up on the wall I'd be all over this. Although tempted by a Rok page..!

(https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/MbNRDqYT_0512200609491gpadd.jpg)
I'm a lazy old git so I'll just copy what I said over at my Comic Art Fans page...
Dan put some art up for sale
- seriously contact him his prices are insanely good - and I wanted a Dredd to go with my Rok pieces, but ended up with this page, which has limited Dredd in it (mind what Dredd there is is superb). From his 2020 story with Rob Williams - "They shoot talking horses don't they?" I just fell in love with this page.
First it does have Dredd on it looking very cool in a western setting - and I love a western setting. But two other things were more important to me. Secondly I love the way Dan draws Judge Anderson. Making her handsome, but not sexualised and not making her look like she's 19 or something daft. She looks hard and tired. Its just a fantastic depiction of this superb character.
Third and most importantly though the sequence on the bottom half the page is just superb storytelling. The establishing shot giving place and character. The joyful chase in only two panels quickly breaking down into the horror of that terrifying final panel. Its a simple masterclass. And man the design of monster and the 'Enormo-chickens' is wonderful - just look at the terror in the eye of the chicken hiding behind the left panel!
So yeah not the most Dreddy of Dredd pages, but I'm beginning to realise I really value Dredd pages that do a little bit more than simply show a cool action Dredd. I like to see his wider world and this one screams 'Cursed Earth' to me ... even if the beastie is an inter-dimensional hell-dog.

Yes to all that really. I hope Kingmaker doesn't fall victim to Ian Edginton's constant invention of new ideas as its a great strip, but feels like its been missing for a while now?

Soon I hope! I really like it, and it feels like it's about to kick up a notch, after already kicking it up a notch already at the end of the last series..
Tis a lovely page.
Seeing as Gallagher is at a loose end after drawing Hookjaw - maybe TMO can get him back into the saddle for Kingmaker. I read the trade of the published work so far and it was grand!
Great stuff that Kingmaker page; so hopefully we can get some Kingmaker next year
That's a great page.
I honestly don't think colour serves him well. I'd much rather see his B&W art for this whole series.
Leigh did a lovely Kingmaker piece for by globetrotting sketchbook thing:

That is absolutely fantastic. Full of energy!
I'm a big fan of Leigh's work, I think generally I also prefer him in black and white, but there was some great use of colour on Kingmaker and the more recent Hookjaw.
Couple more treats have landed my way from the ever fantastic Wakefield Carter.
First up a page I've long admired, but was 'Reserved' but I asked anyway as it'd been on reserve for so long I had begun to wonder. It was available so I snapped it up. I've always loved the design of Valentine Romanov and that first panel of him leering out at the reader is just superb.

When I bought the last page from Dante featuring Lulu I almost jokingly said if anyone had the first page... well it turns out Wake did on his sales page and so I bought it - thanks again Wake. I was after some early Dante and this exchange between him and Dimitri just sums up their relationship so perfectly.

Very nice pages Colin. I do like Dante. Can I ask do/are you able to display these? As much as I'd love to purchase 1 or 2 pages I couldn't justify to the good lady spending a wedge on pages to leave them in a folder. 🙁
I'm waiting on ma boy to move out and then I can change his smelly pit into a Thrag cave but the way things are I'll be moving out before him 😂😂

When I bought the last page from Dante featuring Lulu I almost jokingly said if anyone had the first page... well it turns out Wake did on his sales page and so I bought it - thanks again Wake. I was after some early Dante and this exchange between him and Dimitri just sums up their relationship so perfectly.

Is there a link for Wake's sales page?
There you go
http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/ (http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/)
I'd e-mail direct (wake@2000ad,org) to organise as some of the features don't work. As I said to someone else who asked today could you keep away from the Zombo cover. I keep faffing and never get around to buying it... or those Shakara pages... or...
his prices are very, very good.

I don't alas. I have a few up in my nerd cave but most are stored. Which I find helps my appreciation. When you pull them out from time to time I can spend time pouring over them. The only thing is sometimes you wish they were more available for others to enjoy - hence comic art fans page I guess - but such is the woe of an original art collector!
I've got a small amount of pages and have them up on display (out of direct sunlight of course!) but it's kind of limited me to not buying any more because I don't have enough space, which I suppose is both good and bad. I do love having them up though. You'd be suprised how many people just assume I've stuck up a page I cut out of out of a comic.
"Don't buy that because I don't want our house turning into a 2000ad art gallery and anyway, where would you put it?" said my wife as I hovered over Steve Austin Dredd pages on ebay.
...I bought it anyway
I figured with the final round of the Favorite Artist competition going on, now would be a good time to post my most recent art acquisition. If you are unsure which way to vote, maybe this will help!

This piece is an absolute grail for me. I've been chasing a Carlos commission for a couple of years and didn't hesitate when I had the chance to pick this up. It will be framed on my wall soon!
Very grateful to add this Carlos piece to the collection - not only was his prog art incredible, his commissions were top notch!
Forgive the poor photo quality, this is 11x17 on white comic board paper. Any discoloring is just lighting.
It is still super cool.
That is a fantastic piece.
Yep its a beaut - was it a commission?
That is beautiful.
Thanks all for the feedback!

Colin, this was a commission. I came across it on CAF and the owner was willing to part with it (I don't know why, but I'm glad he did!). It does look kind of familiar though, can anyone tell me if this was included in Ezquerra's coloring book??
Jez - lockdown is turning me into an original art junkie. Not, one, not 2 but 4 new pages from Dan Cornwell. Two from Rok so they'll go elsewhere, but damn if he keeps putting his glorious art under my nose I'll just keep buying it I know!
First up a fantastic page (one of two) from the recent Max Normal series no one knew they wanted nor needed until it arrived. A series I just loved and didn't get a page from until...
(https://cafans.b-cdn.net/images/Category_97652/subcat_145838/SVoFADcM_0703210952041gpadd.jpg)
Again from my Comicartfans pages cos I'm lazy...
"Last time I snapped up some Dan Cornwell pages I did get one from Max Normal, well I've made up for it this time. Just look at the 'acting' on this one - just so expressive and brilliant. Vito's (the chimp) range as he tells a tale of rage and breaks into hilarity and Max's softer, but no less revealing reaction.
Just brilliant. If you've not become familar with Dan Cornwell's art yet do yourself a favour and do so. He's surely destined for great things."
more soon...
Great page Colin! Max Normal in every panel. With art like this I'd be fine if the prog were printed in B&W.
Well what makes a Max Normal page better than Max Normal in ever panel. Why an uplift chimp kicking a fattie in the nads of course. Everything is made better by having an uplift chimp kicking a fattie in the nads I imagine.

Out of interest does anyone know if somethings happened to the 2000ad Original Art Facebook page? (and 2000ad Tat and Chat group?) both have disappeared from my list of Groups and I'm not sure if they've closed or I've been kicked - not sure why I would be - kicked that is - but who knows maybe I've offended the Facebook folks somehow. I know my political views are the polar opposite from the person who started the groups.
Not much I can do either way just curious.
I've just been on them and they were both working OK...

Same here, not a problem. Dale has apparently just returned after having been given a short ban for some indiscretion. Maybe you've selected some link to cut them off?
Not sure - can't seem to find them in my Groups list and when I do a search neither appear. My working assumption is I've been kicked for some reason or other. For the life of me not sure why. Not much point worrying about it as nowt I can do - just really curious as to why. Oh well?!?
In all honesty I'm not sure it's a major loss. Not much happens of interest.

Well there was some good stuff there and there was a page or two I was thinking of purchasing - though one at least I know where to go direct for. It was actually going to look for that page that made me realise I wasn't able to see the group any more - i hadn't noticed before that.

The cover for prog 1977.
As you can see Carlos got the perspective on the dome of St Paul's wrong the first time so there is a pasted over patch where he redid it. There's a bit of his handwriting at the top right corner about Dredd and a hooded man which probably refers to the join that runs from Dredd down to the bystander bottom right.
Oh that is simply incredible - wonderful stuff. Loved the 'original' of this one and this new 'mix' is as much fun as that.

Colin MacNeil commission! I asked for Johnny and Wulf fighting Nazis, Colin came up with the rest. An homage to The Shicklgruber Grab, one of my favorite Stront stories. I honestly couldn't be more pleased, very happy how it turned out.

Colin in an absolute top dog among Tharg's art droids, and I'm very grateful for his time and effort. It exceeded all my expectations!
And special thanks to Eamonn who helped with shipping it to Canada for me. We talk more about the commission here: https://megacitybookclub.blogspot.com/2021/07/161-life-and-death-of-johnny-alpha_02023364488.html
That is glorious, I'd have that up as a poster easily. So much to love on it, I especially love the cheesed off look on the face of the tank driver guy. Great commission RJ!

Really nice piece Rogue, MacNeil certainly delivered.
Thanks gents. I especially appreciate the little details such as the helmet on the ground with a (hammer sized) dent, the damaged tank barrel (with distraught tank commander), the street sign noting "Schicklgruber Straße" (Schicklgruber Street in German) and Hitler's worried facial expression - he's knows the Sternhammer Silencer is on the way!
I have now this bit of John Burns Dante hanging on my wall:

A John Burns Dante page isn't something I ever thought I'd be able to own, so this is VERY exciting. It really is stunning up close, too.
Apologies for the crap pic!
Wow that's a cracker BB
I would love a piece of Dante art but I bet it didn't come cheap?
Thats a WOW. Absolutely wonderful page.
One day I will own a John Burns Dante page...one day...
Cheers both!
McFad, It was not the cheapest - I used a combination of some lockdown saving and selling off some gaming bits and bobs, plus a contribution in lieu of birthday presents, and of course my wifes approval. That's me done with buying any more art for a looong time!*
*maybe
Dante is my favourite "new" character from the tooth stable and I've been wanting a piece or even a comic con sketch but money and everything else has eluded me.
I do have plans to do a figure if I can find the right kit to convert.
Enjoy your page 👍🏻

Lovely page Barrington.
Not strictly original art but I wanted to share this sketch I got over Christmas of Atalia Jaegir by the very talented Lee Carter, from his recent Kickstarter.
Non-Coleby Jaegirs I've found tend towards being a bit pretty and I always thought Lee would be good at portraying her. I'm super pleased with how characterful she looks here.
Please excuse the crappy picture quality, the orignal is much, much nicer.

From Rok the God #2 and bought from Dan Cornwell at Lawless. A3 sized and Dan says it took him hours to do the Kirby inspired tech.
Cost £70
Oh Eamonn that is an absolute beauty. Love it.

Oh Eamonn that is an absolute beauty. Love it.
Yeah, I really wasn't going to buy anything but I saw the page and kept going back to his table to look at it again. And then I made the fatal mistake of asking Dan if he had a card machine (I was short of cash), he said yes and the next thing I knew I had paid for it with my wrist watch. "They let me pay with my wrist watch, Marge!"
Now you have learned a valuable lesson in life never bring a credit card to a convention where you are tempted by awesome original art.
I looked at his pages as well and was well tempted but I was spreading my spending cash around the room 😂😂
That's a stunner Eamonn. £70 is an absolute bargain as well especially given the work involved. Looks brilliant in b&w as well. Taking the time to chat to the artist about an individual page often gives me so much more insight into, and respect for, the work that'd been done especially on details that the eye can slide over a little when reading and eager to get into the action.
I didn't dare look at Dan's artwork as I'd bought a page with cash from Dave Roach, and knew if I decided to start using card readers I'd be getting one from Dan and one from Boo and then a Thistlebone page too... "Luckily" my wife was there keeping an eye on me.
I finally got this up on the wall today - apologies for the slightly ropey pic with the reflection.
(https://i.imgur.com/EKK8k2n.jpg)
I was inspired to buy this page at Lawless after chatting to Dave Roach about what he really liked about. He was very pleased with the bottom right image of Anderson, but what he really liked was the smoke in the top panel: sounds like it was a lot of effort to make it look good and it gave me a new appreciation for the page - something i obviously had in mind when I last commented on this post, above! In B&W it looks so much better than in the Prog (this went double for the Saphire pages he brought along)
Anyway, Dave is a lovely guy and a stunning artist, and I'm delighted to have this up in my office!
Well that's just lovely!
Another great page BB you're gathering up a nice wee collection.
Thanks guys!
Beautiful page, all panels look great!
Got this one back from the framing guys at the weekend:

Awesome, little bit (actually a lot) jealous
That's a cracking page Boots bet it's in pride of place on the wall 👍🏻
Oh Wow that's amazing Barrington Boots. I have a number of Simon Fraser pages but a John M Burns Dante page is very close to the top of my wish list. Magnificent.
Thanks dudes! Not on the wall yet as I'm not sure where to put it - it's far too nice to go in my little office, but trying to avoid having comic art up all over the house!

Wow what a beautiful page! And well done getting it framed up like that, looks amazing. I have too many pieces I plan to hang but are just sitting in folders. I'm thinking of buying cheap frames then learning to cut the matting and do it myself...that will get the job done, but yours looks perfect!
Cheers Rogue! If you have a really nice, or expensive, piece I'd really recommend getting it professionally framed. It's not cheap, but if it's going to be up on a wall for any length of time it protects the artwork and stops it from fading or becoming damaged. Also I think it makes the art itself look way cooler with the mount etc. If you do hang something definitely post a picture on here of it, seeing peoples collections is awesome.
I much prefer having art up, rather than in a folder, but that's way easier said than done. It's also one of those collections that hard to show off as most people who come round to my place either don't care, or just think it's a page cut from the comic.

Show us your Frasers Colin!
Agreed Boots, I like having the art on display too, it's just the cost to frame that keeps it in folders. I could get another page of art...or get a page framed. I always end up with the latter and in the folder it goes. Your frame really inspires framing though!
If I get a cheap frame but use quality, acid-free mounts, I should be okay to frame any art without damage, yeah? I have a 'man cave' with no windows so light won't be an issue. Any consideration I'm missing?
I totally understand where you're coming from: I've got some pages where the frame would cost more than I paid for the art and it's a bit of a dilemma. I've framed my really expensive bits, and a couple of older pages from the 80s, but not sure what to do with the rest. What kind of folder do you store yours in? I could do with something like that for pages I don't have up.
From my reading and conversations with my local framing guys, the big things to consider are acid free mounts and special glass to protect it from sunlight, so yeah, you should be ok there based on my understanding. Obviously don't glue or blue-tack the art to the mounts or the backboard - mine are hung from the top of the mount with some kind of archival mounting tape.
My first post in the channel and also a word on frames. I have three of these Nelsen frames (https://www.nielsen-design.de/en-EN/home/), measuring 100cm x 50cm. Formerly used to display Australian daybill movie posters, all now repurposed for Dredd original art.
I got this page direct from Carl Critchlow a couple of years back, the climax of the Trifecta storyline.
A bit of dead space around the three pieces but I enjoy seeing the original art alongside how it appeared in the prog...and of course, the cover to 1812 is a beauty.
(https://i.imgur.com/YeEBGgC.jpg)
Larger image here (https://i.imgur.com/YeEBGgC.jpg)
Great looking page, that - love the way it's put together. I actually prefer it in black and white.
Boots, I store my art in typical art folders, that can hold pages 11x17 and under. The larger pages are stacked between large sheets of acid free backing. How about yours?
My wife is an artsy type and has agreed to have a go at framing a couple pages...we'll see how it goes! I'll be sure to get the archival mounting tape too, thanks for that tip.
I don't have a folder, hence my asking! I have a handful of pages not on the wall that I've carefully stored and need something to display them in - most of them are A3 so something like that would be ideal.
Good luck with the framing, hope to see some pics up here soon!

You can get some decent folders at a local art supplies store (Like Michaels) or even on Amazon. I like the folders so I can flip through and enjoy the art, but that still doesn't solve the problem of getting them on the wall!
You bet - I'll post pics when I manage to get a couple framed. Cheers
As per the mention on the Yoinks / Bah thread... Please excuse the quickly taken snap.
Frame removed and I'll have to get this re-mounted at some point. If I can find room on my wall, it's going up!

Love the different body language with the SJS Judges.
Thanks for sharing Boots it's a cracking page 👍🏻 No pun intended 😂😂
Groan!
'Smashing' compliments guys!
Awesome as stated previously I have a nice open spot here in my office.
Necroposting here but finally got my hands on a Carlos original!
(https://i.imgur.com/PK3mzzA.jpeg)
An 80s Ezquerra Stront page is my holy grail: now that I've finally got the money together for one, the prices have gone up and up to the point where whenever I see one that's not absolutely perfect, I end up dithering and don't buy it. This was a lot more affordable and may be as close as I get. This would look grand on my wall although full bleed and the lettering on laminate, so it'll be a devil to frame.
(oh and if you've got a Carlos Stront page and want to sell it, drop me a line!)
Wow that is a GREAT page - well done!

I'm tempted to take a punt at one of these but I'm still in dither mode - if I'm buying a Carlos Stront page and spending that much, I want one that's perfect. Box Paton is no Wulf sadly...

Don't dither if it means beans on toast for the next year then it's beans on toast 😁👍🏻
Waiting on a Wulf page May mean it's just toast 😂
Did you get that great Durham page framed yet?
Not yet! It's a full bleed page with laminate speech bubbles, so I'm not really sure what I want to do with it with it. I should just get it up and be happy but the indecision is strong here! I think it looks nicer without the laminate...
I haven't got that Henry Flint page framed yet either.
