Original for Sale! Sold!
When I was in middle school, my dad would drive me 45 minutes to the nearest comic shop. Needless to say, the sleepy central Florida town where I spent my adolescent years wasn’t a hotbed for culture or entertainment. The shop was a bit of an oasis and I couldn’t wait to get inside.
Of all the books on the shelves, none grabbed my attention like the original run of TMNT. There were “better looking” books adorning the shelves, but something about the black and white and bizarre premise made all the difference. As the years passed I continued to collect each issue of the sporadic run and they still serve as some of the highlights in my old battered comic boxes. And now those crazy turtles are worth mega millions – who would have thought? Here’s to you Raph!
In other news, we’ve been in full swing on some traditional pieces that we’ve been showing through our Twitter account. It’s been a blast getting away from the computer from time to time. We’ve had some requests to grab the originals so we’ve decided to add some to the shop. To that end, we’ve got Raph hanging out – an original brush inked piece. We’ll also be throwing in a digital print of the final color illustration! Madness!
Finally, the turtles will be making a come back at Nickelodeon and the uber talented Alex Deligiannis will be involved! Check out his work, you won’t be disappointed!
