I was lucky enough to attend NYCC a few weeks ago while working for my new Comic Shop. I did many fun things, but the highlight of my weekend was the fact that I bought my first piece of original art, from none other than Amazing Spider-Man Artist Paolo Rivera. I think it is a fitting first buy, and I am excited to embark on my new, exciting, and expensive collecting adventure. The sheer joy that filled me when I got it though was worth every penny, and the time that I got to spending talking with Paolo about Spider-Man, art styles/different artists, and just everyday stuff was priceless. I cannot wait to feel that happiness again, hopefully again with Paolo, as well as many other artists.
