I know guys who have paid big bucks to James Jean to commission him to create a print...and they don't even know to ask for the original...bizarre...but good for us art collectors.
Rob Rusch
6:51
@Felix that's wild to me
Lambo
6:52
print collecting is NOT what we in this chatroom do. sure we'll take a nice print. but we ain't losing sleep over it.
Tim D
6:53
I started with prints and have some Tony Moore / Rick Remender Fear
6:54
Agent signed prints I love but would never go back
Aidil
6:54
@lambo, true won't lose sleep over a nice print, compared to a miss commission slot

I seldom buy prints these days, but I recently bought a print of my favorite Wrightson Frank plate, bcs the original would require me to rob a bank if I could convince the current oa owner to part w it.
Ron Lim
6:55
I've bought James Jean prints, but only because I can't afford the real deal.
Felix Lu
6:55
@Ron...I'll get James prints, too...but it's a different hobby to me
Artless
6:56
Similarly, I recently ordered the new EC Artists Ed of classic covers. The originals are out of my range and I want to see them up close.
Ron Lim
6:56
@Felix, Yes, plus the printing on the prints is exquisite.
Felix Lu
6:57
@Ron...compared to the early basic prints, it's night and day
Tim D
6:57
My fav Frankenstein plate is the winter cemetery, I don’t think it’s been offered yet

Since no one has asked tonight, who got the X-Men 1 cover?
Felix Lu
6:57
@Marcus...a BIG Jim Lee fan...
Ron Lim
6:57
@Marcus, excellent question!
6:58
More importantly, what was the price?
Dan T
6:58
@Marcus, tbh, you have a better X-Men cover.
marcus wai
6:58
someone should spill the soup on that story
Rick
6:59
I can safely say it wasn’t me, Marcus or Ron.
Artless

Some artists' work looks nearly as good reproduced in a high end print, while others really looks different, IMO.  Most ink work looks very different to my eye.
Jacob M
6:59
I don’t buy prints as much either since I started with OA. However, I do love buying them at cons. It’s the best way to support a bunch of artists who aren’t already big names imo.
7:00
on a different print level I had the whole canvas Ross Shadows series but sold them. Really wish I’d kept that Batman tho.
Artless
7:01
@jacob Yes, I buy young artists' prints to support them sometimes. Good point.
Felix Lu
7:01
Hey guys...nobody's leaving...but it's been a couple of hours and I told Lamb we would be doing one! LOL
So...lightning round time...
Dan T
7:01
@Jacob M - I think I spent well over $100 on stickers on NYCC Sunday for that reason.  Also, I enjoy stickers.
Artless
7:02
@felix Your drops are lightening fast, but the chats are delightfully leisurely
Felix Lu
7:02
Haha! Thanks Artless!
marcus wai
7:02
No more art drops this week?
Felix Lu
7:03
@Marcus...keep watching;)
Mike Cichy

Dune movie has anyone seen it yet. I saw last Thursday, thought it was great.
Felix Lu
7:04
@mike...BLOWN AWAY. 100% recommend seeing it on biggest screen possible. Do NOT settle for HBO (depending on local COVID numbers, of course)
Tim D
7:04
Lambert/Felix what are you currently reading and enjoying.
Dan T
7:04
What shows will Lambert be appearing at through year end?
Jim
7:04
hey felix, what's your favorite single issue of the goon?
Aidil
7:04
Saw Dune a month ago on IMAX, worth it
Ron Lim
7:04
@Mike, we discussed it earlier in the chat
Felix Lu
7:05
@Tim D...too many to list right now...but CATWOMAN: LONELY CITY is a must
Check out the aggregate review site, Comic Book Roundup...it was at a 9.6 (out of 10) last time I checked...that's unheard of...
