Kevin Eastman - Art Collection

Art Collection

Eastman purchased his first piece of original artwork ("a couple of pages that were penciled by Michael Golden and inked by Bob McLeod for Marvel Comics' Howard the Duck") at the Atlanta convention he and Laird attended in 1984. Collecting subsequently became "quite an addiction" for him, and, combined with his experiences in getting his (and others') comics work recognised as "Art," led to him founding the Words & Pictures Museum.

Famous quotes containing the words art and/or collection:

    I prithee, daughter, do not make me mad.
    I will not trouble thee, my child; farewell:
    We’ll no more meet, no more see one another.
    But yet thou art my flesh, my blood, my daughter—
    Or rather a disease that’s in my flesh,
    Which I must needs call mine.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    What is all wisdom save a collection of platitudes? Take fifty of our current proverbial sayings—they are so trite, so threadbare, that we can hardly bring our lips to utter them. None the less they embody the concentrated experience of the race and the man who orders his life according to their teaching cannot go far wrong.
    Norman Douglas (1868–1952)
