And about the artist I was talking about; he'll post his stuff when he's ready.



Is that supposed to be an insult?
I hear you, man, but the OA community at large doesn't feel the same way. I wish more people did feel the way you do, but unfortunately, that's not the case by and large. They may say it is, but it's not. As far as historical value, that's a big factor too in OA. One of the greatest motivators for OA collectors is nostalgia. Since many current OA collectors grew up in the 60's 70's and some in the 80's, that's the stuff they're nostalgic for. That equals big money. That's another area an artist like Byrne benefits, because he's one of the most significant artists of the 70's and 80's. He's got great talent and that nostalgic factor which allows him to command top dollar. He's more than earned it

Hey Underdog07,

Thought some might be interested in the recent auction results for the Batgirl con sketch and the WW cover prelim:

Batgirl Con sketch - $1,150 - http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...20320101739941

WW Cover Prelim - $721 - http://tinyurl.com/yoocye

It’s plain to see that the demand for Adam’s work is such that the auction final bids keep climbing - good grief! Best,

Royd

Seller states it took him 7 years of trying to get the piece done

I like it. He's been doing several character pieces like this. Too rich for my blood though.

Chill out Paul, I think he was referring to the stuff you showed at the Bowen section.

I get pretty depressed when I see these prices. It makes my chances of getting an AH page seem so remote. I'm not interested in sketches or commissions. Published work only for me.
