At least one of the Hot Water Music LPs by Sinc was on eBay many years ago. This was before HWM was even half as popular as they are now. It didn't sell for much, considering what it would probably go for these days.

Can you corroborate this? Which record?

Well, I got into HWM in 2000 so I'd say this was on eBay approx. 2000-2001. I wasn't apeshit over the band immediately, I slowly picked up their releases. I remember thinking it was cool and may have even thrown a small bid on it but I didn't pursue it seriously. I don't think it sold for more than $200, if that.

I can't say for certain that it was the front cover of an LP but I do believe it was from some part of a HWM LP. In any case, it was most definitely original Sinc art and I am also pretty sure it was his eBay account that he was selling from himself.

I'll look at my albums tonight and see if I can find a pic that looks most like what I remember in my head.

That Jawbreaker stuff isn't original art...its just proofs. Stuff that's made digitally hardly counts as "original" art. That shit has to be HANDMADE.

That stuff is looks like it was actually pre-digital and was hand-composited using stat cameras, masks, and negatives. And exacto knives.

He also made giclee (sp?) prints of some of his art t some point. Not sure if that was LP art or other originals. I think all the LP related art ended up going to related peoples, band, label, etc. There were "eras" with similar themes, so it could have been that too. Other than that, I have no clue. He's busy creating video games these days.

I bought the proofs for The Appleseed Cast - End of the Ring Wars, and Cross My Heart - S/T artwork off Deep Elm when they were selling them a while back

I've got the original art for the Bent Outta Shape / Snuggle split, the Foundation 7" and Experiments in Audio Rocketry comp I did. I've also got all the original stuff for the Big Rig 7"

In case anyone has 10K lying around

Hey Var, any chance of getting that altervative Fuel For The Hate Game art in poster format? I'd love to hang that on my wall! Personally think that is the best Sinc art I've seen to date.

Here's the thing though...if you're gonna buy published "famous" artwork that's what you're gonna pay.

Sometime in the next few years I'm going to start setting aside money to buy an Alex Ross original painting...and his sketched go for $300+ and his comic pages usually run minimum $1000 with no recognizable characters... so realistically it's gonna cost about $3-5,000.00 but I'll be excited when I find the right piece.

[xlovecolouredx]

collecting no idea records stuffs is exciting game.

i will when i have more salary because i can't imagine how much i have to pay ship and tax for 4-5 pressing times records.

vardcore, will you press more on any pmfs ?

Who's the guy who did the Gunmoll cover below?

I'm pretty sure I bought some records off him in the 90's and he drew a guy on the back of the mailer of a guy holding records. It was really cool, and I held on to it for a while, but I've long since lost it. When this record came out I thought, "That looks familiar".

i wish the big rig re-release would happen. i would fucking love to hear the bonus songs

[vittywatt]

I got the lawrence arms repress that was orginally mentioned. The artist knew I was a huge tla fan so he just gave them to me!

[lokithelion]

I have a custom drawing from the singer of Portugal the Man. It's awesome.

i remember when he used to have giclee prints for sale on his website. i wanted one so bad and never had the money. i really hope he gets his site up and sells more now that i have a job. i would love to have any of his work, but all the pieces he did for caution are my favorites.

its the same guy that does all of mike hales current artwork i think. i remember hearing that hes related to sinc, but i have no idea if thats true. im sure someone who has worked with him can tell you.

[mynameisdan]

why arent there pictures of all of this artwork everyone is talking about!

and, i own nothing.

[seafoamgreen]

Giclee is French for "inkjet." Don't buy giclee prints of anything, even sweet Sinc art.

I have some of the original art for Pissed Jeans - Shallow. I have the original of this Drive-By Truckers poster which is very rare because Wes Freed only sold DBT related pieces once and it was only two pieces:

It's in a really cool frame.

I also have original art for For Science - Tomorrow's Just Another Day, Way Out Of Control, and Revenge For Hire.

I think I have some other kinda stupid stuff too and some original photographs used in layouts but I'm drawing a blank.

The only thing I paid for was the DBT art

i really want a sam kieth piece.. theres one on ebay really cheap right now... but its not a very exciting piece, and hardly a good example of his work

fixed. Sam Keith is either ungodly amazing or terrible...but when he's on...fuck...no one should ever attempt to draw that character again...

Hey Justin do you have the original art for black mambas anywhere? i want it!

We have a re-press of "FWF" on right now. This time it has an inner pocket sleeve too (same info as the previous insert).

I have a piece of original art by the same artist (Sean Mahan) that painted the cover for "Up in them Guts". This piece I speak of is light blue and was used as the front cover for another band's record that will remain nameless (and that I will not acknowledge, but it is NOT North Lincoln or Twelve Hour Turn). This art was originally intended for a Small Brown Bike / Twelve Hour Turn split 10" that fell through, leading to its use for another band's record. I'd certainly sell that for the right offer. For real.
