Vacation Staycation

Hey all!

This week I have been on vacation. No traveling to exotic locations. More like hanging out with the family and taking advantage of all the cool stuff locally.

It also has meant that I have had ample time to chill out with comics.

Figured it would be cool to share my comic nook, the Sanctum Sanctorum.

It is in a corner of the unfinished basement. But I love it. This is where the magic happens.

The cataloged collection are all in boxes on heavy steel shelves. There is no room for more boxes and there is no real room for more shelves. So hard to know what will happen when those boxes are filled. Maybe time to cull.

Behind on the floor are other boxes of loose comics, some roughly organized. Those are the 'readable' books, foldable, tattered, and loved. A nice rocker is there as well as a stand up lamp like in a mod 70s apartment.

Behind, on the studs, you'll see prior commissions and comic pages.

 That wall extends about 5 more feet to the right and is similarly filled. Those were the pre-sketch book days.

From the seat I face the 'work table'.

Books to file. Books to mail. Labels and stickers. Sketch covers waiting to be filled. This is where heavy lifting gets done.

When sitting in the seat, if you face left, you see a magazine rack that was being thrown out by the hospital that I loaded in my car.

Lots of TwoMorrows Back Issue magazines. Readable Wednesday Comics. Some old school Amazing Heroes and Comics Interview. Just a place to grab and read.

Now there is another section in the basement with the Supergirl figure collection and my trades. Maybe some day I'll show that side of the world.

The house is a busy place. I am thrilled to have my little 10ft x 10ft corner of heaven that is all mine.

One day, when the place is less busy, maybe I'll finish it. Or move to a main level.
