SDCC’10: Most awesomely expensive geek painting sells at convention

Posted on by

Bleeding Cool reports that this awesome Frank Frazetta Conan painting sold for $1.5 million at the San Diego Comic Con in a private sale with the Frazetta Management Corporation.  It is a defining Conan image, and worthy of an Art Appreciation Moment of the Day entry, but even if the currency exchange rate of Luthor Dollars to the U.S. dollar made me a multi-billionaire, I’m not sure this would be high on my list of Need to Buys.  Now if they tossed in a couple Nagels and a Vargas or two…*

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Ivan Reis – A hint of things to come from DC Comics

Posted on by

DC made a big splash with their mega-sized teaser images that hint at story lines to come.  Ivan Reis provides the pencils, it’s up to you to provide the speculation.

I understand the full color image will appear in this week’s DC titles.

CREATE THE AWESOME!” While I don’t have the money, or god-like powers needed to accomplish such a thing, I do have access to Deviant Art, and Comic Twart where I can get a taste of what might be or what could have been.  Today’s Art Appreciation Moment of the Day takes a look at Nick Fury as only Evan Shaner could create.

Art Appreciation Moment of the Day: Adam Hughes

Posted on by

Almost missed posting this today, and as we all know, if you don’t keep running a certain feature you run the risk of someone else stealing the name and claiming it for their own.  When in a rush, and when looking for something really spectacular, no one beats Adam Hughes.

Following the Slayboy incident from a couple of months ago, no gone thanks to a hard drive crash and an ISP who thinks a good way to back up data is to put the backup on the same drive as the main files, we’re bringing you another take on the image, but with a slight twist.
