All in pretty good art year for me. No massive grails but did scratch a few itches in 2017 without totally breaking the bank.

A few highlights – started the year with getting offered a commission from my #1 dude Norm Breyfogle. Ended the year with getting a Tom Grummet commission that I’ve loved since it was first done 6 years ago.
Over the course of the year picked up a few Syaf’s – a group of us commissioned him before the controversy. One was a dream recreation of Detective 27 that I had in the works for Breyfogle that he never got around to before the stroke. Syaf executed on it perfectly. The other a homage to one of my favorite all time books – Spidey vs Wolverine. Colors on it are amazing. Syaf’s work needs to be seen in person to be fully appreciated.
Snagged a couple of Todor pieces. The Catwoman a bit wonky, but the Batman piece came from another collector and IMO is Todor’s best and one of my favorite Batman images of the past few years – reminds me of a Frank Miller poster I used to have on my wall.
Noto was a big itch I needed to scratch. I screwed up not getting him at C2E2 and had been obsessed since. Big thanks to Josh for the hook-up at NJ.
Few other goodies – a great Perez that got lost in mail limbo for about 2 months made its way home. Molina did a nice job with a Frazetta homage. McDaniel did an awesome HQ in his signature style. And Jay L did some cover worthy inks over an iconic Booth Robin.
Other than that, my DITF’s kept churning along. Hopefully that project is done in 2018 and will be shared then.
, got an unexpected dell'otto commission thanks to george 
those were my big 2 gets in a very light year for me.
