Nice article. Also, your collection is admirable. :thumb: There's only one piece of original art that I'd really like to have but I guess it is already taken (by you?!?) and unavailable by now, or too expensive anyway. Which one? I promise not to track it down and jack up the price on you. :) Mike

One of the best Valiant cliffhangers ever!

Good choice!

Mike

Gotta try to keep this thread going.

I remember seeing this one when it was solicited, and it really jumped out at me.

Divinity III: Shadowman and the Battle of New Stalingrad #1 by Marco Rudy


Mike

Thanks. Yeah, I've had my eye on picking up a Mike Choi piece for a while now. I did notice that his most recent stuff is painted, so adding one of those would be pretty nice.

Mike

Lots of great Valiant art at ECCC this past weekend. Wish I could've grabbed some more, but have to be at least somewhat responsible. Especially loved a couple of J.G. Jones' recent covers, but they were a bit out of my price range. I did manage to pick up these two though. Both guys were great to t...

I hope there aren't any colorists reading this thread.

Mike

I was talking to LaRosa about it a few weeks back, and mentioned that I might contact Brian Reber (the original colorist) to hand-color this artwork for a really stunning piece. LaRosa flat out told me in no uncertain terms NOT to do this, and to keep the art clean as is lol! Oh no! Don't do that! ...

By the way, comiconart.com is having a 25% off sale through the end of the year, so if you act quickly you could get a good deal on a Suayan page, or Diego Bernard for that matter as well.

Mike

Well, that's an impressive haul. Congrats! Ryan Lee did some nice covers for Britannia. I'm glad to see he's getting some interiors work now as well. I only have one new piece to add. :) Divinity #2 by Lewis LaRosa http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/selhorn/DivinityIssue2Cover_zps4x4hwxqk.jpg ...

Huh, somehow I totally missed this thread the first time around. Not sure if these would be considered "key" VEI covers, but here are a few of mine that might fit the bill: Quantum & Woody #1 by Ryan Sook http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/selhorn/QuantumampWoodyIssue1Cover_zpsjr...

Love seeing all the Savage art recently.

Here's my latest pick-up. Bloodshot Reborn Annual #1 cover by Ryan Bodenheim.



Mike

Great pick-up, obviously, on that LaRosa X-O. Really like that Divinity splash too. I really need to pick something up during that Cadence Comic Art sale.

Mike

Great page by Giorello. I would definitely like to pick something up from him. Really liked his work so far for Valiant.

Mike

Okay, if it's only a temporary clock, then I guess it's okay to leave it as is.

Mike

Here's Juan José Ryp's cover for Bloodshot U.S.A. #3:



Mike

Looks great, but come on, you have to center that clock.

Mike

Nice, did you pick those up during his 50% off sale?

Mike

Great cover, and nicely displayed. Forgot to post here when I got this one back from the framer. I'm pretty much out of wall space at this point, so this will probably be the last framed piece for a while. Ninjak #12 Cover by Keron Grant http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/selhorn/Ninjak12Frame...

If only convincing someone to take my money was a more marketable skill. I'd be in great shape!

Mike

Just out of curiosity, is there anyone following this thread that doesn't belong to the Valiant Comic Fans Facebook group? I kinda feel silly posting this stuff in both places, but oh well. Anyway, just in case there are a couple of you out there that don't. Here's Doug Braithwaite's cover to Bloods...

I don't think you have anything to worry about from me. I'm usually far from 1st in line for pieces, and I don't buy that much. I get the leftovers :lol: In fact, I'm going to significantly pare down my art and have a handful of my favorites that I can enjoy on the wall. Playing possum. Smart. Mike

That's definitely a nice pick-up. Should look great up on the wall. I guess I need to add you to the list of people I have to worry about grabbing stuff before I can. :) I forgot to post this one from a few weeks ago. Thanks to Dan for putting the deal together. Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #13 Cove...

Dammit indeed!

Mike

Bidding ends later today, and it's still quite reasonably priced. If not for you, then perhaps for that special someone in your life that happens to be a big fan of Valiant original art!

Mike

In case anyone is interested, I just listed Stephen Segovia's original art for his Book of Death #3 cover on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Stephen-Segovia-Valiant-Book-of-Death-3-Cover-Original-Art-/182282878579?hash=item2a70e7fe73:g:xEUAAOSwYIxX2cqz http://i1028.photobucket.com/albums/y345/selhorn/...
