Thanks for the kudos and if you ever want to chat about comic art, I'm game. Check out some of the galleries on comicartfans.com too since there's a LOT of Transformers stuff. Livio Ramondelli (Autocracy / Chaos) and Guido have galleries up there.

You're welcome, I checked out comicartfans and its a great website. Is this where you pick up most of your stuff? I noticed that there is quite a bit of art for sale. I also think I may have found your collection on there. You have Guido Guidi's original art of the Macadams oil house? Thats a great score and a great piece!

Like I said, Im new to the comic art collecting side of things and I think I may have discovered my new Holy grail. My favourite original Marvel comic is #14 when we are introduced to the series 2 autobots. As you would know, in this issue we also get to meet Brick Springstern. Im a massive Springsteen fan and budiansky's cover with hoist and the "the tenth avenue band" is one of my all time faves. Have you ever seen any original art from #14 for sale?

Well, to be honest a lot of my stuff I did find through eBay over the past few years and through people I've contacted through eBay (watch out for that, heh). Recently, I have been buying from some vendors (Nostalgic Investments and Scott Eder, great guys to work with) online and at comic shows. Sometimes artists have advertised on their blogs, like Andrew Griffith and I've gotten something from him too. That Jazz cover.

I did get that Macadams piece from the Transformers Ultimate Guide! Thanks for the compliments again. I really do like Guido's TF style.

I've actually just asked eBay sellers who sell TF pages sometimes and people are willing to deal if they have more pages rather than go through eBay. I give very fair (probably a bit too generous) prices I feel. Just depends on the person you deal with.

I use the site's search feature and then go to Dealer Results or Classified Results to keep me updated on what the some of the major comic art vendors are selling out there to avoid browsing all sites all the time.

I can't say that I have seen any issue 14 stuff for sale. No one on CAF seems to have it, but I think it's out there. Just a matter of who has it, heh.

New Collection Addition! Remember that post about Guido Guidi's art hitting eBay? Well... I got something today in the mail! Check it out:

You seriously have an impressive amount of artwork!
Some of the pieces are really really nice, actually a little bit jealous.

I like your choice of focusing on that rather than the toys, and you've actually inspired me to post some of my comic-related pieces in my thread too.

Thanks for the compliments!

Comic art and commissions are pretty cool to collect and it's a pretty unique expression of my collections. I loved the toys and I still appreciate the ones I have (never really sold / got rid of them), but Blaster and Soundwave (believe it or not) were the only two toys I had a special affinity for and the comics were (and continue to be) a fun way to continue the story.

Does this mean you will be buying the FoC versions of the two?
They look quite nice, and Voyager size to boot. Not my taste, scale-wise, but worth a shot if they're in your favourites' list!

Perhaps if I run into them at a store I would not be adverse to buying them.... It's been awhile since I've looked into buying more toys, but I'll have to check these out. I'm a big proponent of going to the store and buying things (other than comic art ), so if I bump into it, then potentially.
