Far as I can tell, Bear Maximum comes under the Collector Cartel banner rather than the other way around. Frazer is a mate of the founder/co-founder of both.

To throw some fuel on the fire, it's interesting to see that the Phoenix Auctions website has an unseen partner (About Us>Our Team)

Not seen any direct link between him and the auction place.

He does have links with Rich Watkin (founder of Bear Maximum; co-founder of Collector Cartel), and both entities use that auction place.

Note that FB recommended the charity to those guys:

If you see this post a DC comics cover you love.

I've held that original Sandman art.

When I worked at a comic shop (Nostalgia & Comics, Nottingham), we had a load of McKean's Sandman and Hellblazer covers come in on their way to an exhibition or something. They were glorious.

Problem with the URL there, Marc. By putting it down as HTTPS, browsers expect all sorts of security stuff and Chrome on mobile really doesn't like when it doesn't get them.

Will try to grab something in the week (trying to remember what I already have), and am eager for GOOF 2 to launch next week.

Thank you for creating something so beautiful and sharing it.

Much as I love your landscapes and realistic portraits, I adore your cartoony stuff even more. The stunning Elliot you did for my daughter's birthday a couple of years back is my favourite piece of art we own.

While waiting for my Spectrum preorder from Smyths to show up, I bought myself one of these full sized C64s.

Showed it to my daughter last night and told her it's what computers looked like when I was her age. She thinks we were fucking savages.
