    Fun auction although pieces above 5k were quite soft.     Seems like people are short on play money.    Some great deals were out there to be had. 

    I couldn't agree more. I have to admit that I didn't have much intention on bidding on this auction, but sorta wish I had prepared better to have some cash ready. A few of those pieces sub-$5k sold for a steal IMO. Might be better prepared for the next auction in case I see an opportunity! These are some of the ones that I thought sold for a steal.

    I have been checking back at the auction every 24-hours or so. Fun to see small shifts happening in price/followers/bidders. I have spoken to a number of collectors about what they are considering getting making a solid move at...and I must say it is so awesome how everyone's taste in art varies drastically!

    The variation between high-end pieces and starter pieces in this auction are perfectly balanced. It's almost like it was planned!

    I personally won't be after some of the higher-end stuff, but do see a few pieces that I feel have the possibility of falling through the cracks. The spotlight on the epic stuff might help me in the end!

    I got my popcorn ready.

    I have a piece of art that was done on 2 pieces of paper. I would like to glue or tape the seam to make it more attached. Any suggestions?

    Thank you everyone for all the help! I ended up buying the tape you recommended @Nic as I am based in Sweden. I will address the painting as soon as it arrives. Hope everyone enjoyed the back and forth conversation here as much as I did. So great that I can pick all y'alls brains for information! Thanks again!

    @Bronty I am sure you had already looked into this, but I wanted to let you know that I gave it my fair shot. Small world actually! My mom sold my childhood home in June 2022. She moved from San Rafael, California to South Carolina. The moving company has packed and stored a bunch of her belongings at their warehouse until she buys a new home on the east coast. I'm sure you don't follow where this story is going...... but...... the moving company's warehouse is the old Broderbund building in San Rafael. I had my mom inquire about that painting to the owners of the moving company, but they assured us that the building was completely stripped and empty when they moved into the building. Just wanted to let you know! It was a dead end, but thought I would let you know that! Good luck with your hunt!

    Hey everyone,

    The niche of Original Video Game Art is fairly new to me. I realize some of you guys have been collecting OVGA for many moons. I have played video games since childhood, but had never even considered that there were artists responsible for the cover art. I got my mind blown (not so long ago) when that realization came to me. Props to those of you that had this realization years back!

    I have been a part of the video game collecting world for about 5 years now. My collecting focus has changed numerous times.

    I have never really had a video game collection. Sure, I own the games that I grew up with and I have bought a few here and there through the years, but collecting games have never really interested me.

    I have always gone after the stuff that wasn't available for sale to the public: employee clothing, employee awards, Merchandising jackets, NWC 1990 promotional items, prototypes, and promotional signage.

    You can see why this art niche is so interesting to me. This has to be the "end game" of collecting. Although my pockets aren't packed with cash, I do know how to hunt. Wish me luck!

    Thanks again @Ibrahim_UK for urging me to dip my toes and buy a piece of art or 2. I'm not going back. This is it. 

    Looking forward to see more of all of your art! Keep it comin'! 

    -Coleman

    I wanna be the very best
    That no one ever was
    To imagine them is my real test
    To paint them is my 'cause

    I will travel across that land
    Searching far and wide
    Teach myself to understand
    The power that's inside

    I'm an artist, gotta draw 'em all, it's you and me
    I know it's my destiny
    I'm an artist, oh, I'm my own best friend
    In a world I must pretend.

    I'm an artist, gotta draw 'em all, a heart so true
    Our courage will pull us through
    You teach me and I'll teach you, I'm an artist

    I gotta draw 'em all

    I gotta Draw em' all

    I'm an artist.
