I donโ€™t make the news. I only predict it.

One of Ray Harryhausenโ€™s most spectacular stop-motion creations, Kali from THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD.

Even if it wasnโ€™t, I hate the media just eating up what a hit it is when by all accounts most screenings are astroturfed. Iโ€™ve heard over and over that screenings are sold out and when they walk in the theater there are like 3 people in there.

Look into the supposed true story too. Because itโ€™s pure bullshit.

Any reason you want a laptop over a desktop? You can get a lot more computer for the money with a desktop, especially if you build it yourself.

(Iโ€™m not tech savvy so Iโ€™ve always enlisted help with the pc-building.)

Yeah, Iโ€™ve never sold any.

Iโ€™ve only ever traded with other Mignola collectors and I only did that one time. But I got my second Dracula page out of it. I donโ€™t even remember the piece I traded it forโ€ฆdefinitely a Hellboy page.

Letโ€™s see your art books! Hereโ€™s a shelf Iโ€™m rearranging. #addict

The first page I ever bought was from Wolves of St. August. Mike sold it to me for $100! I wouldโ€™ve bought the entire series if I knew what I know now.

I still have that page and I regularly get offered ridiculous amounts for it.

Thanks! I have a few more that Iโ€™ll eventually post. I have far more from other artists as well.

I sometimes think back to when I hesitated in buying a piece and today those pieces are 20, 30, 40 times the price!

Are you on IG? Would like to continue to follow you. I discovered your art here!

Its days are numbered anyway. Itโ€™ll belong to Morgan Stanley within the year.

Hardly even speculation. Just plain olโ€™ making shit up for clicks.

I see. Yeah, thatโ€™s pretty shitty. I wasnโ€™t thinking he was on payroll. I always think everyoneโ€™s a freelancer.

I donโ€™t understand. He was ordered to draw it? Or did this PA or the producer pay his rate to do it?

SISU is the truth.

Mike only started liking his own pages relatively recently so heโ€™s been keeping more stuff. But back in the day, he sold everything and pretty cheaply. The good old days!

Your best bet is probably a convention. Most of his affordable stuff these days are pencil sketches but are still very nice. The full inked pieces and pages tend to get up there in price.
