My Jim Lawson Kickstarter Reward. I asked for a racing Pterodactyl.Very happy with the results.

*Powder* · 05-22-2015, 11:17 PM

Very cool! Such nice colors.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 05-23-2015, 08:29 AM

Wow, that Lawson paleo piece is fantastic mike!

As for the raph pages, its awesome that they are available and I'd totally love to own one, but at 5 grand each - yikes! Respectfully, I'd have to disagree with Fiona. As much as I LOVE the turtles, they don't have the same market as the big marvel & dc big names and I doubt they ever will, so I don't foresee them increasing in value "several times". I think at best Kev&pete pages will be worth at max 10k for select pages in another 30 years, only assuming nick keeps the franchise going strong. If nick allows the franchise to peter out (like cartoon network did with tcats) than those pages may only fetch a grand or two each. Sure, Kev&pete maybe Kirby & ditko to us, but they haven't transcended the comic realm like k&d. K&d helped create and illustrated a ton of popular characters, as great as k&p are they haven't quite reached the same plane as those guys. We'll see in another 30 years. Only time will tell.

That's a cool piece! As a Dino lover myself I'd love to have a piece like that

*Redrumh2o* · 05-23-2015, 09:29 AM

Jim's Dino's are amazing...congrats!!

As for the pages.....I certainly hope #7 drops down to like $100 so I can buy it

OA · 05-23-2015, 02:06 PM

Well, all I can say is these Raph pages are beautiful in hand, just like other early pages. I'd love to get more than the 1 I have but too much for me as well...

*Mayhem* · 05-23-2015, 05:53 PM

Which page do you have, remind me?

Probably shouldn't answer for him....but I think he has the Title page with Raph "Me, Myself and I"

*Mayhem* · 05-23-2015, 07:11 PM

Yeah, I was trying to remember if it was the cover or the first page. I got offered the cover many moons ago, but it was too rich for my blood sadly heh...

The Gunslinger · 05-23-2015, 10:13 PM

So Eastman Studios usually lower prices whenever fans won't bite on their initial prices, correct? What would you art experts say is a fair asking price for these pages? I understand that some pages may be more wanted than others. Based on early TMNT pages sold at auction within the past year, these seem extremely overpriced. I understand the significance of these pages, but the pricing is not realistic based on more recent sales. Almost all of the pages that they listed last time are still up for sale because of the high prices. Was there ever a time that the pages listed on their website were more affordable, or has eBay and the other various auction websites been the only online options to land these pages at more reasonable prices?

*Raph* · 05-24-2015, 06:07 AM

Here's my awesome new piece which I commisioned directly from Ken Mitchroney.
He's an awesome guy and really happy to b part of my collection. He even threw in an extra sketch!
I love his style, the Archie comics where actually the first TMNT comics I came in contact with as a kid back in 1988.

RatKingLeo · 05-24-2015, 06:42 AM

Wow, another killer piece for you Rutger, congrats!!

The Gunslinger · 05-25-2015, 07:02 PM

Met Kevin and Team Eastman yesterday at Comicpalooza in Houston, Texas. Out of all the cover prelims available, this one stood out. It is a shame that this #46 cover concept didn't make the cut to be published. Which one do you guys prefer?

*Powder* · 05-25-2015, 07:10 PM

I had to go to Comicartfans & search for TMNT 'cause for whatever reason your image doesn't show up & the direct link gives me a 403 forbidden page. Fortunately I was able to find it with ease. That's a really cool piece! Not big on that particular pairing but the art itself is super cool, the POV, the theme of support/friendship, the cityscape, a very nice addition to any collection.

I myself have something on the way (only due to it being super cheap & a rare opportunity)! Hmm, what could it be?~

The Gunslinger · 05-25-2015, 07:19 PM

Thanks for pointing that out Powder. I don't know why the direct image post won't work. Here is an attachment.

Nice Mitch!!!! I love how his turtles faces look almost identical to him!! He is super cool and opens up to commissions every now and then....great guy!

Starscream · 05-31-2015, 05:42 PM

What is Mitchroney's contact info?

*Powder* · 05-31-2015, 07:34 PM

Facebook is the way to go.

*Redrumh2o* · 05-31-2015, 07:53 PM

He is an interesting person to follow on FB with all his show biz work

Davin · 06-01-2015, 10:26 AM

Picked these up at AwesomeCon over the weekend.

Spoiler:

The shell is a custom Nick Combat Shell in case anyone was wondering. I use the term "custom" very loosely of course, haha. I just painted the lines and added a leather strip.
