@felix too bad i wasn't around

Dan T

4:10

Exactly. I've managed to do the same with Kent Williams & George Pratt on HA.

Felix Lu

4:11

All Pratt Institute guys...you're in their neck of the woods, yeah?

Jason K

4:11

@malvin i managed to grab 3 in a rush but hard to get some of the early stories

David Blumer

4:11

I've been staying away from auctions recently. Trying to support artists directly. I did pick up a couple Jaxon pages though!

Felix Lu

4:12

@David...what title?

Dan T

4:12

Yep. A few miles away.

Jason K

4:12

@malvin that piece is nice. how big if you don't mind?

David Blumer

4:12

From the dead in the West stuff that has been on the Sunday auctions

Felix Lu

4:13

Congrats! I remember his stuff from Kitchen Sink.

Pat L

4:13

Hi everyone! Just made it at the end! Just wanted to say hello! I’ll have to read through the whole transcript

Felix Lu

4:13

Hey Pat!

Malvin

4:13

@jason, it's a an odd size, 11 x 14 ish but I think its wider than 11 because I recall it didn't fit properly in my regular mylars

Alvaro

4:13

@A Kuri dang right it was! :) @Rick Yankosky yes, I think you are right. Thankfully it's getting a wider release. The books on the tiers are to ship next May... so I assume it's coming out Summer 2021?

Dan T

4:13

@David B - same. I've loaded up on commission lists this year and when I've bought pages, they've been through reps. Very few auctions, although I am waiting on a recent ALF page from HA.

David Blumer

4:13

@Felix yeah it's not the sweet spot but it's certainly him!

Joao Antunes

4:14

I see there is some talking about HA I've seen the price the Freak Brothers back cover went, I have the Rip Off Comix 2 cover, I wonder how much will it be valued :)

David Blumer

4:15

@Dan t. I've picked up some fun stuff directly from artists. It's been a ton of fun working deals out! Sorry Felix!

Felix Lu

4:15

@David...lol...I know you don't mean my artists, so it's all good!

Reba

4:16

@DavidB and @Dan T - same collecting philosophy here too. Support artists. Easier to do if you're a current era collector of course.

Rick Yankosky

4:16

@ben & @joao what kind of street angel piece are we talking? published or commission?

David Blumer

4:17

Ha! Definitely!

Ben H

4:17

@Rich I’ll let Joao answer as he’s now the proud owner!

Dan T

4:18

Reba - I've actually started reading more current books because of some of the modern artists I've bought from or through reps like Felix. I already had Snot Girl issues, but Little Bird is a perfect example. I've also got Paul Pope's Heavy Liquid & 100% trades sitting in my spinner waiting for me.

Felix Lu

4:18

Thank you Dan!

Jason K

4:19

@dan 100% is fantastic

Dan T

4:19

My pleasure.

Joao Antunes

4:19

Hi Ben @ Rick I'm a very proud owner of a Street Angel cover...and in a few months the Octobriana also :)

David Blumer

4:19

@Dan t. Read the pope books asap! He is a durn beast

Alvaro

4:19

Returning to Bernet just a minute. If you are very interested in his work, you may try searching from some 'Clara de Noche' original art. Not sure if there's any out there, but it will sure be much more affordable than Torpedo (please note it might be NSFW, it's an erotic comedy)

Jason K

4:19

grab escapo if you can too

Reba

4:20

@dan T - good one! And this way we can call our reading 'research for the hobby'.

Ben H

4:20

@Joao You sprung for the cover on Jim’s Kickstarter?

David Blumer

4:21

@joao. Congrats!! Jim's work is stellar

Dan T

4:21

@Reba - Exactly

@Jason K - I'll look for it.

Jason K

4:21

@alvaro - there are pages still available if you speak to his rep and know what you want. i gave a list of jonah hex pages i wanted and a lot were available

Felix Lu

4:21

@Jason...Bernet's rep, Miguel, is very good guy. Solid.

Joao Antunes

4:21

@Ben...the answer is...Yes :) in a very short time I've now two fantastic pieces of Jim Rugg, one thanks to you :)

Rick Yankosky

4:22

@joao 😳 & CONGRATS!

Ben H

4:22

@Joao Wow congrats!
