Well a long time ago I asked some of you about my web site that had my original art collection on it.
I was going to redesign it and wondered if I should make it a bit more "conservative" for a change instead of the humorous way it once was.
Anyway that project got side-tracked when I made the DOA Galleries for Byrne's art delaer Jim.
(originally that site was just going to be a small Byrne image gallery and man did it grow)
I also did a couple of other 'web projects' and didn't even update my old site for a long time.
When I started posting here again my site was all messed up and anyone who tried to use it would have got false links because I had finally, slowly started to remake it.
Anyway I just finished and thought I would share:

www.WhataShocK.com


This post isn't OT since about 90+ percent of my collection is by John Byrne.
So all of you go check it out and let me know what you think.
I am courious what those of you that remember the old site think of the new.
One change is that you can no longer read my thoughts about where and why I got the page and what book it was from.
I don't think anyone read those anyway.
Oh and Feel free to "steal" any images for the gallery here.
I am also hoping to get 3 more Generations pages I bought from Jim sometime today in the mail so be sure to keep an eye open for them.
I am afraid I am forgetting something so now I will have to go dig through my real collection and compare it to my virtual one.

Boy, that AWC piece with Wanda and The Vision is sweet! Wonderful "out of the ordinary" viewpoint and perfect perspective.

My only comment about the site is that I think the JB pic looks out of place. Then again, this is one man's opinion and not anything to be taken too seriously.

Nice collection. So nice to have YOU back!

Greg

not sure exactly what you mean Greg..
you mean the "profile" pic of Byrne himself on the top of my Byrne Galleries?


Anyway in case anyone is interested I just got 3 more pages I bought from Jim warden.
They are just 3 more small steps in my plans for world domination!
(which btw now that I have all my generations page divided up on my site- I can see my pseudo goal of having all the generations art is so much more farther away from possiable than I originally thought- I have nowhere near as much generations art as I once thought I did!)
I got 3 new Generations pages:
The first is a cool monster page with some beautiful inking by JB- there is also a little something on the art I didn't notice in the comic and thats the words "Sprang Inc" on one of the buildings:

The Next is the page where the Joker brags that he killed batman.
One cool thing about this page is that I also have the original art for the next splash in the book(and the color guide) so hopfully when I get around to framing these I can frame this new one with it and they can be 'in a row' and I also like how JB did the word ballon of the Batman vioce:

And last but not least- yet another page in the Joel vs his family- tragic part of the story from G1:

Oh and thx for the feedback Greg.

Brendan since I only drink water i hope I will never need another Kidney.
I usually take bribes in original art...
John Byrne of course- no Liefield or Larson!
I only collect art by artists that don't "care anymore'.
