Nothing too extravagant, but I was pretty happy to grab these over the course of the year.

A vintage year indeed:


Minty fresh, all the cooler by having Bonnie ink it at TRPS

Some great pick-ups by everyone on here - Always great to see what other EB'ers are collecting.


2014 was a pretty solid year over all for me. Started off with a bang (in late Jan) by picking up an original direct from Josh Keyes himself (and Josh also included the Drift print) - and it ended with a few nice pieces by Mr Horkey.

The Call – Josh Keyes


Drift – Josh Keyes


The Call I – Josh Keyes


Nesting (Keyline) & Croatoan - Aaron Horkey


I am hoping to hang onto all of them for quite a while unless another "white whale" appears to tempt me (which is probably inevitable).

When I discovered all this pretty paper earlier this year, Kill Bill was one of the first properties I looked up. This print rules so hard, and it made me aware of how valuable these things get. So glad I was able to score this without totally killing my bank account.


A Tong print was what got me started in all of this mess, and after viewing his body of work, this piece was clearly his best IMO. I was lucky enough to have been the buyer on only the second recorded sale of this piece in it's 3+ years of existence.


This was a crazy print to acquire for me. I knew that Mondo had something special up their sleeves when they announced a foil print for MondoCon, but I still didn't even attempt to purchase tickets to the showing. I was able to see this print in person while lined up for the BttF 3 drop, and I knew I couldn't leave the con without. I walked around with a sign taped to my shirt trying to trade for this, and it somehow worked. That sign also got me on NerdLocker


This was a piece that I've only recently desired, but it turned out to be a difficult one to track down. One of the messages I sent out about it finally got read after weeks of no response. Arranged a killer trade, and this will be getting the custom treatment soon.


This one was a sweet pick-up for me. I've been collecting records for a lot longer than prints, and I've wanted this record for a while. One of the days at Mondo's recent flat file sale, I inquired about a couple sealed copies of this record that were behind the counter. I assumed I would get shut down, but it was worth a shot. After David did some messaging with someone, he told me he could sell me one. I opened it up right away and was so stoked to have scored the pink variant. It was definitely my favorite score of the flat file sale.

DAmn FRO... Some exceptional pieces indeed

Think he likes gig prints.

When I discovered EB I hit the ground running and was able to track down most of the prints I never thought I would even see in person. Hoping 2015 will also be great, but I'm thinking I probably should have bought a couple awesome OGs for what I spent on prints this year.

In no particular order, and photoshopped into a single low quality picture.
