True. It is his livelihood after all. But I know he does enjoy keeping some, because I asked if he had anything from the original RTNY saga and he said he only had one page, and it meant too much to him to sell.

Well yeah, I don't doubt some artists have certain items that are sentimental, etc. It's not the same thing, but say if I had to sell my entire Elway collection, I would keep my Elway rookie card (even though it's got rough edges, not centered well at all, and overall would probably get a 6.0-6.5 from BGS), because my Dad got it for me right before the season where Elway won his first Super Bowl. One of those things where no matter what, it's not leaving my hands.

But if your job was to sell Elway memorabilia, you'd have to to make a living. Not saying you couldn't keep some things (like your card), but you wouldn't be able to keep every last thing.

Anyways, I don't think I've been this excited for something in quite a bit.

edit: also, i've been meaning to ask how everyone here displays there art and so forth.

I was thinking about possibly framing these together, as my Lawson pages. hopefully i could pages from other artists some day,
(eastman and laird might be difficult to say the least but who knows.)

I have an 11x17 artist's portfolio where I keep the few pieces of art I have/prints, etc. There are a few that I have framed on the wall, but I live in an apartment so I don't have a lot of wall space.

I'm sure you would man lmfao. I have these 4 pages and 2 animation cel's that I somehow want to display, but i'm not really quite sure how to do it yet.

Anyone know how easy or difficult it is to get stuff from other turtles artists? From Jim all it took was an email or two and he was looking all around his apartment + studio for pages

Man, Spit! That's a sick piece!!

*DonatelloFan* · 06-11-2012, 11:16 PM

Man, Dan Berger does amazing stuff. I'm still saving up to get my piece framed. I was only able to afford to get a black and white drawing with two characters, but when I have some disposable income, I would love to get a color piece with lots of characters. That's some awesome artwork!!
