I am rather in awe of the collections on here but will try to upload some of my collection. I was drawn to art via comic book art. I was a big Batman fan, but it was the art rather than the stories I was interested in. Part One Conor Harrington - Bang Bang You Shot Me Down The largest painting I own and in my humble opinion the best Conor has done. Sorry about the crappy photo.  Hush - Blades  Hush - Graf Warrior ![]() i779.photobucket.com/albums/yy74/thejokerspuppet/sdcc735.jpg[/img]Hush- Fallen  Hush -Graf Geisha  Tim Biskup - Doom Loop #4  Tim Biskup - The Furnace  |

wow, you bought that conor piece. that really is stunning. it must be at least 3 metres long if i remember right as it filled the whole wall in the gallery. there is a hell of a lot going on in that painting, and the opening was very crowded - i recall waiting around until most of the browd had gone before i could get a proper look at the whole thing in context.
did they deliver that on the back of a lorry?
those biskup pieces are awesome too. the furnace is a real classic piece, and i think the only 'self portrait' he had done of himself, or at least had a few years back.
gotta love the cubist skull series he made though- what a beauty!
thanks for sharing the pics joker.

Thanks for the comments. I was lucky with the Conor a piece as I have one wall that can accomodate it. I thought the prices for that show were reasonable and was hoping to buy a piece from the recent show in LA but the price jump was a joke. Deflation? Not in the art market. A couple more pieces I have photos of; Hush (again..). Blades was used for the cover of the Urban Sketchbook; this was used for the title page.  Shag Satans Bachelor Pad  |

Greg Gossel - Special Offer Often accused of copying Faile; no question they must have been an influence but I prefer some of Greg's imagery and at the emd of the day Mimo Rotella was do Faile in the 1950's.  Joe Ledbetter - All For Marbles  |

You have some wonderful pieces - that Harrington is one of the best I've seen from him and I really like your Dalek and Shag pieces.

I like! Love the Chris Reccardi pieces. I love his partner Lynne Naylors retro pieces too, though not so sure about her newer direction, personally.

A couple of new pieces Daire Irwin - young Irish artist; a bit of an impulse buy at a Charity auction. I was so pleased to get the Conor that I got a little over excited and bought this piece!  Conor Harrington  |

That Harrington is amazing. Is it the one that was auctioned for charity recently?

Yes, it was auctioned in Dublin for Scoop Foundation. I was in Australia on business and had to set my alarm in the middle of the night in order to bid. It was worth it - just received it today and well pleased.

Congratulations. Half of me hopes that you got a great price and the other half hopes that it raised a big wedge for charity!
