there's a lot, a LOT, of art collectors here to be envious of...JByrne, AShapiro, GTurnbull but for me, far and away, one P Greer is totally enviable because of his total SKILL at contacting artists and getting work done with virtually no wait time.

Well done, sir.

Once my eBay sales pick up, I'll be able to do the same with a couple of my favorite comic artists.

The bad dark picture is my fault, but the Keith Pollard drawing is top notch, a recreation of one of my favourite Spider-Man covers that Keith originally drew. The wrinkles in the pic are the plastic sleeve over the art.

A small aside, apropos of this, that came to me just the other day and that I wanted to ask you JB... I was contemplating signatures in general, signing for a Visa charge or whatever, and thought about the fact that while I certainly have a signature that I use, it never comes out quite the same. More like variations on a pre-arranged theme. Now, having thought thus far, I realised that your signature does (at least to my mind) look the same, whenever you do it, and I came to wonder, is it an "automatic" artist thing (i.e. to be somewhat better to be on model, so to speak) or is it a very conscious effort to make it happen? Just curious.
