I wish I had the space for a lot of those prints - or just even more artwork in general. But I need the walls for bookshelves.

And I definitely get what you are saying, TD…but you’ll be glad to know that no bookcase space was lost with this print, as it hangs above a doorway (thank you, high ceilings!).

Yesterday, two books I had been waiting for showed up.
First is the signed edition of Frank Bello's autobiography. Frank is the bassist of one of my favorite bands - Anthrax. I'm not expecting a lot because most so many musician's autobiographies seem to be lacking and very "thin" in content. But it'll go well with my two signed Scott Ian books.

The second book I feel kind of lucky to have even been able to order - had no idea it existed until a buddy of mine sent the link.
The signed version of The Art of Neil Gaiman and Charles Vess' Stardust. I only flipped through a little bit, but I love this whole package. Signed by both Gaiman and Vess, and includes a beautiful signed print from Vess. I really wish I could go back in time to that day I found myself at the Comic Art Museum in San Francisco where they had all of the original artwork from Stardust.

While not a recent purchase, I did get some neat things today.
I believe it was last week when I found out that Stephen Graham Jones (and Paul Trembaly) were both in Telluride for a horror fest, and while looking up what that event is (and how far Telluride was) I discovered that SGJ was going to be in Fort Collins at their library's annual Book Fest.
While not super familiar with SGJ, I am at least aware of him, and have three of his books (and two SST editions) so a book signing was in order.
His talk was really interesting. He spent about 5 or 6 minutes reading from his latest book, My Heart is a Chainsaw, and then answering questions from the moderator, on-line, and the audience. I saved my question for the book signing line - who's your most underrated 80s hair metal band?

You can watch his panel on the website here - right now at least, it's video 4 of 8.
Here are some pictures of his inscriptions to the three books I brought:

Jason - thanks for Kings of the Sun
(This was a band I mentioned to him as being an underrated 80s hair metal band.)

Jason - when you look into the elk, the elk looks back into you.

Jason - allow me to introduce you to Jade Daniels ...
It was a fun way to spend a few hours on a Saturday. Plus I got to visit a brewery I hadn't been to before - WeldWerks - and bought some delicious beers.

I don’t know how many Karl Edward Wagner fans are out there but I found this pretty darn interesting. Full of interesting interviews, artwork and information. You can pick it up on Amazon.
