As it is, this website is costing me way too much money. I have to resist the urge to start collecting any more lines. It would not be funny to see me pushing around shopping carts full of long boxes because I couldn't afford a place to live due to all of you enticing me into more collections.

BTW pnce again the art is amazing.

Yeah I am down to about 50-60 regular titles, and then it is on to the Gold, Pink, Blue, Red, VVSS, Stand Alone, issues. The Big Dollar items. But never, and I say NEVER Bloodshot Platinum. NEVER. And that is why I will not start collecting anything else.

BTW Thanks for telling me about Thanos 1-12 Chiclo. Thanks alot

I am a preacher in the Church of Thanos, my brother.

There are a couple of issues that I had pulled that I've never seen on the shelf since. I think #4 was one of those.

I love looking at this stuff, I swear I do...

And Chiclo, other than the occaisonal joke-switch, I think Sean's Rai I have will always be my av.

At least, until I get some cool new art...........

I can see why you'd keep it as your avatar.

Maybe I need a comission of the Goat.

I didn't imply worth, I was just addressing cost.

And their relative lack of value is by no means because of the art. The quality I have seen is outstanding. The source material left a little to be desired.

Hey guys,

Here is a piece that Mac did for me also. It is H-U-G-E and totally AWESOME! I had him do a recreation of the Birthquake promo that Bart Sears and Ray Kryssing did back in the day and replace the brown shelled guys on the right with Spidre Aliens. He did an absolutely FANTASTIC job and my crappy digital photo does not do it justice at all!! It is a tryly spectacular piece of artwork and I am extremely pleased to have it to say the least.

Here is my crappy digital photo of it:

Here is a photo of it on the hood of John Rosas' car:

I will post a scan of it when I can find someone who can scan this monster of a piece as it is truly special.

Here is a pic of the original piece of artwork that he worked from:

It has been in the works for a while, but it is DEFINITELY worth the wait! I Can't say enough about Mac and his generosity as well. The Rai piece he did for my son is another classic and is the first artwork that he owns. Hopefully it sill be the first of many.

Thanks again Mac - you are the best!!!!

Chris

Simply fantastic.

I've just got to say this. Even if MAC doesn't feel like he'd be right for the interiors, I'd love to see some of his covers on the new books.

Maybe the New VALIANT can get Mac to do a book of B&W art. His linework is simply crazy good, not to mention a sense of story and action.

marvel1 · Post by **marvel1** » Thu May 24, 2007 4:36 pm

Not going to happen.
I wish them well. And ill be picking up the trade along with you guys.

Daniel Jackson · Post by **Daniel Jackson** » Thu May 24, 2007 4:39 pm

The decision is yours, but you know everyone here would love to see your artwork making Valiant characters come alive again.

Not even covers, Anthony? C'mon, do your fans a favour!!!

Hey, waitminnit..... this here's a case of "Methinks thou doth protest too much!" I bet he's in on it......

I have no interest in doing anything for the new owners.I just dont see a future in it. Like i was telling John, its hard work doing 23 pages a month, stuck in your house thinking super hereos, you go mad, ever meet some pros? What i do for you guys is entirely different. . But like i said i wish them well.
