Comics UK

Hi everyone!

Having collected comics for the past 40 years, I have recently moved into the closely related pursuit of collecting original British comic art. This seems to be a growing hobby as the Internet has made it easier to buy, sell and trade art. There are blogs and the international CAF gallery but there doesn't seem to be any forum to discuss collections, outlets, framing, shows or exhibitions.

I know that I could start a thread in the general discussion area but this isn't strictly comics - or is it? Can we discuss? Thanks.

Well, comic art is related to comics, so I think you should go for it... perhaps under Artists and Writers, crossposting to Conventions and other events when there's an event on?

I too have also recently started collecting original art work, and agree somewhere to discuss this subject would be a good idea.

Thirded, although I collect less now than I was, sadly...

Fourthed! (???)

So who's going to start the ball rolling? (I know I'm seriously jealous of Shaqui's Bill Mevin commission! )
