Do you guys ever change your mind as to what is your favorite piece of artwork?

I was looking at my artwork this morning (i.e., most of it is framed and displayed in my office and living room area) and I suddenly found myself having a new appreciation for one of them (i.e., the Steve Rude cover recreation of FF #49). This might sound bizarre, but I find that I often appreciate artwork more with time, especially with commissions.

I imagine we all have our favorite pieces which might sometimes overshadow some of our other pieces but every once in a while, at least for me, I think some of those other pieces take a turn being center stage.

Can't say that I do. Probably because I don't think I ever truly have a favorite piece of art. I do find that certain pieces become more appreciated over time. So, to your point, I have experienced this as well.

I probably debate which is my least favorite more than my favorite

My favorites have changed over the years. At one time it was hands down the cover to Silver Surfer 76 by Ron Lim. As I kept adding new pieces my favorite changed. The Dell'Otto Silver Surfer cover, Carlos Pagulayan Hulk DPS and Marko Djurdjevic's Thor Cover have all been my favorites at one time or another.

My current favorite piece which should be no surprise to most of you is the Joker splash by Lee Bermejo. It's one of those iconic pieces that even after 9 years of owning it, I still have a hard time believing it's mine. I don't see any piece replacing it as my favorite especially with current prices being what they are.

I feel that way about the Dell'Otto Dr. Strange. After years of pining for it, I couldn't believe I finally got it. I actually get more purchase inquiries for that one than everything else I own combined, which is odd considering this piece was originally part of a European gallery exclusive litho set and not a published cover.

The Joker splash is also my most inquired about piece. The more people try and buy it from me the more I want to keep it. lol

I'm sure you feel the same way about your Dr. Strange painting.

i would like to inquire about the joker piece.

The only difference, perhaps, is that you didn't risk getting slapped with a harassment suit from the owner of the Joker page for being relentless in the pursuit of it... lol. To be fair though, there was some luck attached to it as I had finally contacted him at a time he needed cash to buy some other artwork, which is often how it goes. Thankfully, I had the cash on-hand otherwise I may have lost my shot at it.
