ALPHABETS OF DESIRE SIGNED PRINT, 2nd printing A thousand new words from Alan Moore on this 11 by 17 inch print designed and lettered by me, in which Alan explores the importance of letters, alphabets, words, and language in every aspect of our culture and consciousness. Beginning with "A is for Apple," Alan explains how letters are "the titans on whose shoulders the entire Earth is resting." Along the way he paints several enticing word pictures appealing to all the senses, delves into the history of alphabets and language, their impact on magic and the magic of their impact. Find out how he gets there in this exclusive item, suitable for framing. Printed in black ink on cream-colored Wausau Exacta Vellum Bristol paper, with each apple hand-colored by me, and each print signed by both Alan and I. (Note: some text in picture above is intentionally blurred.) My price is $20, not including shipping. Will be placed in a protective plastic sleeve and mailed in a sturdy mailing tube. The first printing of 500 copies SOLD OUT in three days, except for a few copies that I offered on eBay, one per week. Those are now gone as well. This second printing of 500 copies differs from the first in two ways: Alan has signed them in either BLUE or BLACK ballpoint, where he used red on the first printing. Also, in the small type along the right edge I've added the words "2ND PRINTING JAN. 2008". The second printing is exactly like the first in every other way. For information about the creation of the print, see this entry on my BLOG. For news about the second printing and updates, keep checking my latest blog entries, link in the right sidebar.

A LETTERING SAMPLER HAND-COLORED SIGNED PRINT, offset printing on card stock, 11 by 17 inches, July 1993. This is a second batch of 50, the first batch of 50 sold out. My thoughts on the virtues of hand lettering. The following year I got my first Mac computer and started creating my own fonts and lettering with them. Hey, a guy can change his mind, can't he? This is colored with Dr. Ph. Martin's Hydrus Liquid Watercolors, which should not fade over time. My price is $20, not including shipping. Print will be shipped in a mailing tube.

ORIGINAL LETTERING ON VELLUM OVERLAYS, various books. Until the advent of computer lettering and digital paste-ups (and even sometimes after), I was asked to letter on vellum overlays atop a xerox of either pencilled art, inked art, or painted art. I have some of these overlays from books dating from the 1980s through the 2000s. I'm offering them in lots of 5 pages, by title or character. Sorry, I can't take requests for particular issues or pages, but I will try to give you a nice selection from any of the ones that I have. This group are priced at $10 for five pages, not including shipping. Note that most pages come with the Xerox that was lettered over, not all. Pages will be shipped in a mailing tube. BATMAN: SHADOW OF THE BAT, DC Comics DARKCHYLDE, Image Comics DEATHBLOW, Image Comics THE DEMON, DC Comics LOBO, DC Comics SHADE, THE CHANGING MAN, DC Comics ULTRAFORCE/AVENGERS, Malibu Comics This next title is priced higher because of the writer of the books, Alan Moore. They are $20 for five pages, not including shipping. Pages will be shipped in a mailing tube. SUPREME, Image Comics Finally, if you'd just like a selection of pages from different books, I'm offering a grab-bag of random pages from any of the above, 10 pages for $14, not including shipping. Some of these will not have the accompanying Xerox that was lettered over, but each grab-bag lot will include one page from the higher-priced group. Will be shipped in a mailing tube.

For the first 50 years of my life I was a collector of stuff. All kinds of stuff. Not junk, but things that appealed to me and I thought had value. As I approached my fiftieth year, I realized I'd never have time to enjoy or even look at a lot of what I'd collected, and I began de-collecting some of it by auctioning items weekly on eBay. I've done that since 2000, and most weeks you'll find 15 to 20 items up for auction here: I do take some weeks off, so if there's nothing this week, try again later. And thanks for looking at my stuff!
