kurtz Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 That Bill Morrison sketch rules! I have the original art for Wolverine #166, pg. 15. Sean Chen is the artist. I'd love to get more into collecting original comic art, but it's a hobby that I simply don't have the money for these days. some sketches on the back.

mrc Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 i found a couple of the paintings i have around my place... Im no serious art collector or any of that bullshit and just buy stuff that is fun. Most of my stuff i have gotten for free or really really cheap commissioned work. I guess im lucky to have a bunch of artistic friends. Zombie Frankenstein Vampire drawing/painting on a blood drive flier: Donny Darko anyone? My Girlfriends old room mate was a fucking rad painting and gave us a ton of cool paintings for free... Squirtgun A pop tart and some abstract paintings she also gave us. The thing at the end is a collage made out of construction paper that a friend gave me. 1 of the many paintings in my nerd room Painting of my dog that was done for a fundraiser when our local human society burnt down a couple years ago. I was glad to give them money for a painting of my baby! That's it for now, but ill try and post the rest later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlingvultures Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I've been real into this guy Matthew Sharp. I only have one of his originals right now but another one should be here by the end of the week. I'll post pictures when I have both of them. I plan on picking up more of his stuff soon.

mrc Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 the blood drive one really gets me. i love it. Yeah its always good for a smile that Frankenstein painting rules. thanks, im a sucker for anything related to classic monsters or zombies... oh and robots too. i dug up a few more... This is pretty much everything, i think we have a few others packed away in the closet. I gave some kid 60 bucks and a list of things i liked (which included lowbrow, coffee, my dog, records, monsters and creeps.) and a week later he gave me this. Robot Random animals.... i think these were from the humane society art show fundraiser too.

danthemjfan23 Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 i love the little animals ones. also, your girl has a lot of bracelets and necklaces. if she ever calls you out for having lots of records, use that as ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

circlingvultures Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 So I found this guy Matthew Ryan Sharp through a posting on OMGposters.com . It said he was selling some originals to make room for new stuff he was working on for upcoming shows. I ended up buying this piece from him at first....... "Mid west Black Metal" sorry about the glare. When I got it, I was way more impressed with it in person. I started exchanging emails with him and decided to buy another piece that I have had my eye on. It just showed up today. It's called "Putting the Man back in Pac-Man" He threw in a bunch of goodies too including some magazines from around the country that he has been featured in, some gallery exhibit cards and some random art pieces he has done. This was the first screen print he ever had made This is blotter paper that a company called art on acid made. I guess they did a few other peoples work before calling it quits. It looks great in person. This is a sheet of paper with his "ghosteez" figures drawn on it. and this is a letterpress that he had made called obviously "crippled with fear" He has a show next October in Cleveland that I will be attending. It will also be the release for his first book. I can't wait until i can get more stuff from this dude. If you are interested his website is called www.itskindadark.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlejonnyhormone Posted August 8, 2009 Share Posted August 8, 2009 Call me dumb for being an artist and not knowing this, but what does this Matthew Ryan Sharp guy use? That cannot be acrylic. It's too smooth looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oakland Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 We have a ton of art, a lot of it original but also some dope posters and stuff. Here's some of the original. Dan Higgs -- Horse -- watercolor Dan Higgs -- Alien tree or something -- watercolor Web site art for www.oaklandchilders.com by Chris "Pee Wee" Levi -- ink on paper. There's also a Grails / Silver Apples poster on the far right. This one is huge and very, very nice. It's called "Who's Winning?" and was painted by Tiffany Bozic. Acrylic on wood. It took me about five years to finally be able to get one of her paintings. This one is huge too. Check out her stuff at www.tiffanybozic.net.
