Hi all...

 After duly noting my 80th birthday passing this past fall, I've been trying to 
take a realistic approach

 to life and start thinning out the "treasures" that woulod otherwise end up at 
Goodwill.

 I have a sizeable collection (30+examples) of original newspaper comic strip 
artwork, aquired when I

 worked for the Chicago Sun-Times back in the early 70s.


 They range in size and complexity - single gag cartoons by Virgil Partch 
(Vip), editorial carttons, special drawings

 of Pogo by Walt Kelly, and Dennis the Meanace by Hank Ketchum, daily strips 
like Mark Trail and Penny, Sunday

 art of B.C. by Johnny Hart and beautiful Al Williamson renderings of 
along-gone adventure strip and even some

 little-known original art feature in color from Peter Max.


 Some of these are dedicated to me, most of these are unframed, and some of the 
others may show a little grime

 from way too many career moves (Chicago, Miami, Seattle, DC).


 My thought is to shoot with the E-1 and my 50/3.5 OMZ macro. I would welcome 
your input on lighting, and any

 ideas on filtering or post- processing.... noting that my computer skill are 
limited at best, and my programs are

 the freebies.


 I would appreciate any thoughts on marketing this material, preferably as a 
batch -  /And please don't say ebay!/


 I'm wondering if ant of you have had any experience with the large auction 
houses, like Christie's?

 And whether they would respond to an e-mailed inquirey - with an an inventory 
and a few photos attached.

 Thanks in advance for any help you can offer,

 Rick
