When seeing this cover, I had thought “I wonder if there are any ADS covers available?” then I saw the update in the sales section; so much artsy goodness and I wish those email scams were legit right about now. 😉
Yeah, super nice people, too. Man O Man. Well, he’s keeping some of the stuff he’s bought from me, and he has some serious treasures in his collection, but you gotta do what you gotta do! I know I’d have a helluva time parting with some of my Jose Luis Garcia Lopez art if it came to that! I even have his pinup of Minetti! I LOVE it!
Oy, I almost forgot, some years ago when I was pretty broke I had to sell off some of my original art from people like Curt Swan and a James Sherman Legion original, and that really hurt.
Looking at some of what I have, I can’t think of a piece or pieces I could easily part with. Especially since I don’t buy with flipping in mind. I have a Byrne Fantastic Four page which has the Twin Towers showcased, two Mike Zeck pages that I later got signed when I met him, among a plethora of others which bring to mind the phrase “…from my cold, dead hands”.
Selling those must have been painful. Maybe they’ll show up on the market, affordable. People do what they have to do and priorities supersede our collections at times.
Ouch! My sympathies. Some don’t realize the attachment one can have to various works of art. Makes the parting with them not just the selling of a commodity.

Yeah, I was holding that for another person but his wife has serious health issues and he had to back out of the sale! Very sad for him.

That’s awful. Hopefully things will improve for them.
Now for a round of eeny-meanie-miney-mo.

IT was rough like you wouldn’t believe, some of them were done especially for me, I really got upset!

Yeah, many of them were Element Lad sketches done for me by other pros, it really hurt to let them go.
