You're welcome JW!

Hi Benno! Will you be setting up your display at Dragon Con this year?

Justin

1:41

@felix any chance you can poach Jae Lee?

Felix Lu

1:43

@Justin...heh...I don't "poach" anyone...but if artists want to talk to me, I'm open to having the conversation! In Jae's case, I've never heard from him, so I'm guessing he's happy where he's at now!

Joe A

1:43

First chat I've been able to join in on. Are you going to tease some more art, Felix?

Benno

1:43

i am! Meeting soon to come up with our theme.

JasonK

1:43

BKV in here?

Ron Lim

1:43

Hi guys. i'm late.

Benno

1:43

So how broad do you anticipate the sketch drop to be Felix-ie, what percentage of your group will participate in that part?

Felix Lu

1:44

@Benno...not 100%, because not everyone has sketches...but a very solid representation. Much like SDFC 2020 and NYFC 2020!

Joe L

1:44

@Justin Jae Lee is a fantastic artist, and a nice guy in person, but good luck waiting on a commission from him.

Dan T

1:44

@Benno - looking forward to it!

Joe L

Hey, Felix. Loved the most recent pod, I’m not which one of the guys it was, but the guest who gave of “state of the market” at the opening did a fanatic job of summing up the last 16 months. It was great to hear an intelligent take on it. Keep the pods coming!

Felix Lu

1:45

Hi Joe...it's Gene Park! He's been on the show in the past, you can find his other appearances in the podcast archive on my site!

1:46

Last cover...this one kinda killed the internet when Matías showed it...

This was just a taste of the AMAZING covers that will be landing at SDFC 2021 next week! There are many, many MORE that I'm keeping under wraps until they drop! But trust me...you ain't seen nothing yet!

Joe L

1:46

I’ve listened to every single pod you’ve posted! It’s one of my favorites… despite you rubbing your DKR pages in our faces every episode… haha

Felix Lu

1:46

@Joe...at first, the DKR talk was real...then I kept doing it because people were getting annoyed, and that amused me...and now, it annoys even ME! But people keep bringing it up!!!

Adi

1:47

@Felix, any recent personal pick ups (pages, strips, commissions) you'd like to share?

Felix Lu

1:47

@Adi...yes! But nothing scanned...no time to scan my own crap!

Joe A

1:48

@Felix, I personally love the DKR talk on the podcasts!

Joe L

1:48

Haha… no, I like it, keep it the DKR stuff going. It’s a classic. The art and story changed the entire world of comics in ways that are still seen today. It’s worth talking about.

Felix Lu

1:49

@joe and joe...the guest I was most excited to talk to was "Scott Free"...Frank Miller's rep when the DKR art was sold...that guy was a ghost...to get in contact with him and then have him agree to meet felt like a miracle...

Adi

1:49

@Felix, hahaha...I spent a whole evening (day?) 'scanning' my pages with a digital camera. Now waiting for some downtime to finally upload them to CAF.

JasonK

1:49

@felix keep it up. Dkr talk every 2 weeks!

Need more content

Felix Lu

1:50

@Jason...thanks buddy!

Adi

1:50

Gah....that Bergara WW belongs in an art gallery

Victor B.

1:52

@JasonK I wish Felix’s podcast was every 2 weeks, even Monthly!

1:52

@Joex2 @Jason & @felix I'm all for recurring DKR talk in particular and more podcasts on any OA topic!

stefanomjr

1:52

Yeah in that last podcast w/ the three guests talking about the market there was a comment about selling art to buy a motorcycle....I cant imagine selling art and not buying more art haha

Felix Lu

1:53

@Stefano...a common mistake collectors used to make...one of the all-time great Simonson covers was sold in order to buy a tractor (for example)...not as common a mistake these days...

Joe L

1:53

Anyone here get any new pickups or commissions they want to talk about?

Adi

1:53

Must have been a HTF special edition tractor....one can only hope :D

Felix Lu

1:54

Since you're all still here...here's a James Harren ULTRAMEGA sketch that will be available during the sketch drop///

stefanomjr

1:54

yeah art rarely loses half the value when you drive it off the lot :)

Jason K

1:54

@JoeL woud love to see anything new from you!

Joe L

1:54

Any one here get on Leslie’s commission list? If so, what are you requesting?

Justin

1:54

@felix that Bergara cover didnt sell yet??

Felix Lu

1:55

@Justin...NO! It will be available during our SDFC 2021 cover drop next Tuesday!

Keith Becker

1:55

teh only thing i can see selling art, and not buying more art with it is if you're trying to buy a house, or were hit by a financial crisis of some sort.
