Yeah, Tony Vegas is amazing. I got the chance to see him doing a street painting near downtown Vegas (the shopping area with the crazy neon light ceiling).

Really nice pieces you got there. As an art fan in general, feel free to share anything you come across.

Yes it is amazing watching him paint them so quick and accurately. Definitely feel that his art was superior to that of the other one we had purchased. It took some convincing of my wife that we should buy his too. She didn't think that we had a place for it. I thought differently.... I was right.

I attended the Grand Rapids Comic Con, which was the first year they have held it this past Saturday. I met an awesome vendor who runs an Etsy shop called RavenDarkCreations. It is actually a couple the male dose sculpts while she does prints. The reason for the backstory is now I can tell the story of this first piece.
This is what he had called, a humming bird. I thought it was neat, however my wife loved it and had to snatch it up. This is a one of a kind piece that he had sculpted so it is actually very nice to have. It stands around 9 inches tall and is very lightweight.












Not much to tell here other than this is my Cuckoo Clock from Germany. The waterwheel spins whilst playing music. Then the Old Lady Chimes the bell and the Bird comes out to greet you.







These next two pieces we picked up on our anniversary trip to Vegas. These are done on poster board. They are done with spray paint and putty knives. Also using the technique of phonebook paper and magazine paper. The nature one was done by the nation renowned Tony Vegas.













This last piece was also bought at the Grand Rapids Comic Con. This piece was listed very high and took some time to mull over. But, it is a one of a kind. The sculptor had 100-150 hours into it. The "leaves" are wire and there are over 900 pieces of wire. The base is made of real wood he had his carpenter friend help with. Glad my wife and eye saw eye to eye on this and came home with a great corner piece to have for decoration and conversation. It stands around 20 inches tall and weighs around 20 lbs.

These next set of items were available at PAX, or Gearbox Community Event. One item is from the recent auction that I had posted in rare items. This is a one of a kind an I am very luck to have gotten at a great price.
First item is Promo Cards for the Season Pass. Both codes have been used so don't waste your time. These cards were given out at PAX Prime 2012 to those that attended the Gearbox Panel and we were lucky enough to have ran into Mike Numan after the panel. My wife and I both had him sign away. The shirts were given out at two different times. One you had to stand in line to play Borderlands 2, the other they had tossed some out at the Panel. My wife and I both have a yellow and a blue variant. We did have Randy Pitchford and David Eddings sign the yellow ones.



















These next cards were given out at PAX East 2013 to those that attended the Gearbox Panel. We didn't stick around to have the guys sign anything, but still these cards are pretty neat. The Torgue pen was thrown at random, along with the hat, and lanyard. The Shift Code on the wrapper was a chocolate. And the cards with the loot chest were a form of a lottery.

This next set of items pertains to the Gearbox Community Date of 2013. A poster advertising the auctions that were held for the video game history museum. I believe the next item was a promo poster for the Community Date. As a bonus they added in my order a signed poster of Zero. This poster is signed by Rand Pitchford. Then the last piece that I was lucky enough to get was a tile. This is a one of a kind tile that was endorsed by Gearbox. It even came with a COA.

I was at that Gearbox Community Day event. I got the Signed art book and the GoW Hammerburst from Project Tri-Force.

This next update everything that is pictured was FREE. My father-in-law was making space in his house and didn't want them. The High-Low Ace is limited to 2,500 units and was late 60's early 70's best I can tell. I am not so sure about the Flash. The CDI is missing cords and remote, but he knows he has them just a matter of finding them. He is somewhat of a hoarder. Everything is 100% working condition. They Pinball Machines are not set up in the pictures because I didn't have my wrench set when they were taken.
