The 'I Got A New Piece Of Art' Thread, (for everybody!) - Page 40

Archon_Turtle · 06-02-2012, 12:14 AM

Stoked out of my mind for this piece. Not in hand yet, but I couldn't wait to share it. Some of you may have seen it on ebay a couple days ago. Normally I don't go for Buy-It-Now auctions for high price items, but it was just too good to pass up, so I pounced:

What we have here is a 1985 painted sketch of Raphael by Kevin Eastman. This will be the first painted Kevin piece in my collection. It being a year two sketch makes it even better! Painted pieces by Kevin are quite rare, so to have one that is so early on the timeline is just incredible. I'm on cloud nine.

As I said, he is on his way to me, so more on this when he arrives

Thanks man. I knew that at the price it was at it wouldn't last long. 85 black and white sketches often sell for the ballpark this sketch was in, so to find a painted sketch for that price, I either had to pull the trigger or hate myself later...So I pulled the trigger

*Powder* · 06-02-2012, 12:27 AM

Yeah that is definitely bad ass, dude. Good catch.

*MrPliggins* · 06-02-2012, 12:32 AM

Yeah, Archon, I was debating pouncing on that piece when I saw it, but I was too cheap. I had a feeling it would sell pretty fast. Awesome piece, Congrats

edit: do you know if it's a published piece?

edit 2: also, I saw a beautiful original page from Fugitoid #1 go pretty quickly. Was that anyone here?

*zkarlette* · 06-02-2012, 12:32 AM

What a great find! It's really Awesome Archon, Congrats!

Congrats Archon, that's a wicked piece

Fixed that. Boy am I red in the face... probably also explained why I thought it was such an awesome "Laird" sketch... It's still very nice. I think I've gotten used to the newer way that Kevin draws the turtles. Seeing a classic like this threw me off.

*Mayhem* · 06-02-2012, 10:58 AM

Never saw the auction, must have been quick. Link?

HotJuicyBurgers · 06-05-2012, 05:03 PM

Just got 4 pages by Lawson!

These 4 are the first pages, and also the first Ninja turtle art that I have purchased. I am super excited to get them!

Below in the spoiler are pictures of the pages! (can't wait till i get them sorry!)
When I get them I'll do a group shot.

Spoiler:

I asked him to sign them on the white spaces around the pages. I now have to count the days until they arrive lol.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 06-05-2012, 06:09 PM

Yes sir I got them from Jim. I felt pretty bad because I was having him check what pages he had from this volume, and from that volume and what pages he had from this issue or that issue.

Jim is probably one of the most patient and awesome people I have ever had the pleasure of emailing lol

That's what kind of sucks for some people. To us fans, it's like "Oh my GOD!!!! I'm buying a piece of TMNT history." To them, it's most likely nothing but "Sweet, another paycheck.". But hey, they don't draw and paint to get a pat on the back.
