In April 2008, Michigan comic retailer David Pirkola was robbed and shot while working in his store. To help in his recovery effort and bills, Jeffrey Brown, writer of Boom! Studios Warhammer 40,000 is auctioning art pages from the series.
You can find the page up on eBay.
“I became a father a year and a half ago, so it’s been a while since I’ve had the time to field my Ultramarines force or let my epic scale ork gargants rampage across the battlefield,” said Brown. “I keep up with the comics, novels, and White Dwarf magazine, but spend more time playing with buses and trucks now. It was a great experience to work on this page and get back to the game that I love, and it was even better knowing I could help David by doing it.”
Boom! Studios was kind enough to donate Brown’s pages to iFanboy.com for the auction.
I really like Gene Gonzales’ work. I’ve been following his sketchblog and have looked forward to seeing what new creation he has whipped up each day. If you want to nab a Gonzales sketch, he selling 20 of them over at eBay.
Conventionless, Convention Sketches! This auction is for 20 convention-type inked sketches. Winners can get any single character sketch (no backgrounds) inked on 11″ x 17″ bristol board. Winner may have to supply references for character if I don’t have one or if I am not familiar with it. If you have seen the sketches that I do at conventions, you know that you get more than just a rough drawing. If you are not familiar with my sketches, some sample work is provided below. Artwork will be shipped each Friday and all artwork will be completed by August 8th. As the art is completed, I will email you with the image before it ships. Email me first if you have any questions.
My work has been published by DC Comics, Image, Caliber and others. Recently I finished the creator owned 4 issue mini-series DIARY OF NIGHT from Bloodfire Studio, a graphic novel from Moonstone Comics, McCANDLESS & COMPANY, and I’m working on a 3-issue creator-owned comic titled PERILS ON PLANET X, coming from Ape Entertainment. To see more of my work check out genegonzales.com and/or my daily art blog at http://genegonzales.blogspot.com.
I’m sure the pieces will go fast, so if you want one, better get it now.
Reminder, there’s one more day remaining on all the World of Springfield Simpsons figures I’m getting rid of. Some GREAT figures are up for auction, and I’d like to free up some space in the Major Spoilers Toy Closet.
Hey Everybody!
I’m sorry for the obvious AD placed right here, but there comes a time in every person’s life, when it is time to give up a little something to keep something bigger and better (this site) going.
I’m clearing out space in the Major Spoilers Comic Book Room and am selling a huge portion of my Simpsons action figure collection.
If you are fan of the Simpsons, and want to help a brother out - check the auctions after the jump.
Last week at the Emerald City Comic Con, the organizers and Frazetta Comics put together an auction to benefit Josh Medors’ fight with cancer. The best part about the entire event is it raised over $10,000 for Josh’s medical bills.
“The response of the comics community and fans alike has been amazing,” Medors said. “The money raised not only helps out with medical expenses, but it also takes a great weight off my shoulders and helps me focus on what positives I can. I could never thank everyone enough for what they have done for me.”
What started off with a couple of e-mails and phone calls to a few friends turned into a mega event, with over 130 lots of donated original art, books, prints, posters, toys and statues all sold at the auction. Fans unable to attend the event can still support Josh in the Ebay auctions, an original John Romita Sr. Mary Jane sketch, Willow Creek sketch books by artists such as Eric Powell, Tim Vigil and an the opportunity to appear as a zombie in THE WALKING DEAD.
That’s great news!
The Josh Medors Benefit Auction has grown to such huge proportions, it’s hard to keep up with the items on the auction block at the upcoming Emerald City ComiCon. The latest piece attendees can bid on is an original work from Frank Frazetta.
“Having Frank Frazetta donate a sketch is a feather in the cap to an already amazing outpouring of support for Josh that has been shown by the comics community,” said ECCC Organizer Jim Demonakos. “We’ve hardly had time to take pictures and catalog the overwhelming amount of items donated!”
The silent auction is active now, and you can view the items at the Emerald City ComiCon website. After Thursday everything will switch to a live auction.
The Josh Medors Benefit Auction will be taking place at 5:00pm on Saturday, May 10th at the Emerald City ComiCon in Seattle, WA
