Would it be out of the question if I suggested that a list, similar to the collector's inventories that used to be on this page, be made for personal collections of Valiant original art pieces? I think it would be fascinating to find out what pieces are in private hands, and what remains in a drawer somewhere. This might be to personal though, I dont think some of the collectors would like it known they have so much.

Most of my stuff is archived on my site, however there's is a lot of
stuff that I've never got around to scanning. I concentrate mostly
on Solar & Magnus stuff along with anything Pre-Unity/Unity or related.

Right on, both on the good side and bad side. It is unfortunately true that the behaviour of some people prohibits full disclosure of what you own. However, a list of what there is, would be nice for all. Both concerns would be addressed if there was an anonymous data base. Preferably with scans for all to enjoy. That would however bring lots of extra work to the webmaster that agrees to host the project...

I'm curious to how you come upon all the neat stuff dan? Are you an ex-valiant employee or something?

No, but I've bought art from a lot of ex-Valiant employees!

I started collecting original Valiant art about 6 or so years ago.
Back then, I was lucky enough to come across some
early Valiant pages and I've been searching for more ever since!
Also, at the time, Acclaim was doing the VH-2 stuff (which I followed)
and original art from them books could be found pretty easily.

you know dan, if you're too busy to get around to posting that other stuff, you should probably just mail 1/2 of it to me...not that i'll post it. i just want it.

Well, at least one thing that would be good on that list is art pieces that will for the time being remain unavailable, such as those held by large art houses that do not sell what they hold. Ive seen a few galleries with items like that.
