*****
I’m a freelance artist and illustrator and I thought I’d share my shelf porn in my office. In addition to the typical muggs, action figures and such, some of the highlights include:
- Signed Alan Moore/Todd Klein print
- Signed Neil Gaiman/Todd Klein print
- Original Michael Cho art
- Paul Pope silkscreen print
- Custom Dick Sprang style Batman & Robin Muggs I made
- Custom Jack Kirby OMAC Mugg
- and some custom Kirby prints I made.
The thing I’m proudest of is the original colored Jack Davis artwork. It was commercial art he did for a restaurant in the early 90′s. A printer I worked at had it in a file cabinet and threw it out. I saved this awesome treasure from the travesty of being thrown away by diving into a dumpster in the rain to rescue it. It was worth it. Jack Davis is one of my favorite cartoonists and I still can’t believe I own something of his.

I love my Todd Klein prints. Todd’s a great guy and really nice to deal with. They look really great in person.

Hi, I collect Jack Davis’s work in print and original art. Is there a chance that a printed piece is available
from the Davis piece you own? I’d like to get one if there is. Thanks for any help!
