    Some original art I found

    I've digging through my library/laundry room and found a few items that I thought I'd share. These are from my video and toy dealer days (translation my starving years) and they mostly remind me of a time when I was truly needed to get my act together:



    This was drawn for me by Peter Grau, for free. He was a nice guy and we were at a comic show that I think had around 4 attendees. The only thing I sold was a treasury edition to a very bored William Messner Loebs.




    This is something I'll never sell, Adam Hughes drew one of my favourite characters shaking hands with Atlas, a character I created. I at one point, aspired to be Jack Kirby. Looking back, I'm really sorry I even showed my sketchbook to Hughes for reference, I'm just not very good. Wow, he nailed him though.

    This was also done pro bono, Adam was a really nice person and I truly enjoyed meeting him.

    I have more, just need to dig them out.

        Great finds. PT! I love the first one especially; really great, almost Adams-esque foreshortening on Captain Marvel.
        sigpic Oh then, what's this? Big flashy lighty thing, that's what brought me here! Big flashy lighty things have got me written all over them. Not actually. But give me time. And a crayon.

            Hang onto that Adam Hughes piece... It's become impossible to acquire one without great difficulty after an incident with a con attendee flipping a piece recently.

              I"d never sell it, this is from Hughe's appearance in Oshawa, where he probably met with 15-20 of his adoring fans.

              Plus it's my character drawn by a pro, that alone makes it magic.

                  When you get the Hughes piece framed...make sure you go for UV protection. Pencils only sketches will fade over time. Nice art. Did the Peter Grau guy do anything I may know?? Has a nice Ordway style to his art.
                  "When not too many people can see we're all the same
                  And because of all their tears,
                  Their eyes can't hope to see
                  The beauty that surrounds them
                  Isn't it a pity".
