Those watercolors are ace man.
Also Spencer Little's stuff is awesome. I saw a couple of his large pieces in Long Beach this summer.

Daniel Danger - And I'll only feel smaller and smaller (Large Format Edition)
This is the only print on the list but I had been on the hunt for years and the story itself ranks extremely high for me. I ended up flying down to LA, renting a van and driving out a business park in Orange County. Paid the balance in cash and then drove it back north to SF. A wild ass adventure and totally worth it.
This drymounter is huge. 13"x19" Hanuka for scale:
Esao Andrews - The Gypsies Standoff - Pencil Study
Esao Andrews - Echinacea - Pencil Study
Teagan White - Guardian of the Bayou
João Ruas - Gorgon VI
Helice Wen - Motif
Jess Seamans - Texas Is a Place on Earth
Aaron Horkey - Coaxing a Ghost

it's to share mate, people like doing that and discussing art on an art forum. And it can be a good way to discover new artists.

Why are YOU on this thread? Why are YOU on this forum?
It is quite depressing to buy art and then hide it away. I hang quite a few original pieces in my office at work so that I can easily share them with others. And I very much enjoy seeing the art that others choose to collect. I have dreamed about buying an art gallery, not to sell or make money from art, but to share what I have collected and to talk with others about my passion. Sad isn’t it that I own almost 140 original works and I am the only one that sees most of them on a daily basis. Looking at a jpeg isn’t the same as seeing a painting or sculpture or photograph in the flesh, but it will have to suffice.
