I’m going to put up a bunch of original art pages for sale this week, with the theme being “retro”. Being known as the “retro artist” can be a bit of a pain sometimes because I work in lots of other styles and don’t like being pigeonholed. But at the same time, I love doing it and have been fortunate enough to have collaborated on quite a few faux-silver age stories with Alan Moore. Here’s the first page I’m offering:

This is one of the last pages I have from 1963: MYSTERY INCORPORATED. It’s story page 13 with script by Alan Moore, pencils by me, inks by Dave Gibbons and lettering (on the board) by Don Simpson. It’s in perfect condition and I’d normally ask $275 for it. But for Retro In Regalia week its only $250 plus shipping and insurance. Shoot me an e-mail if you’d like to make it yours.

We’ve had swarms of these large dragonflies gobbling up mosquitoes around the pond all week. Cindy found this one, which had given up the ghost, in the greenhouse. Click on the second pic for a detailed close-up of the eyes.

With all my current deadlines wrapped up, I’m open for commissions again. If you are thinking of a custom Veitch piece, it’s a good time to catch me. Check out info and some recent samples here.

Or you can just e-mail me.

Here’s one I did for the Berlin-based punk band, Erotic Devices.

This will be the last of the Midsummer’s Dream series (for this summer at least). These comics were based on a series of dreams I had when I was a wannabe cartoonist in 1974. I’ve focused on the comics related dreams here on the blog but if you’d like to read more from this volatile period of my life get a copy of CRYPTO ZOO. There’s an in-depth annotation included in the book that explains what I think the dreams were directing me towards. I can only smile at this one, which is a pretty perfect metaphor for my comics career right now at age 59.

This is a long one. I’ll post the first half today and the rest tomorrow.

This dream from the 1974 series gives us a super powered Orion who wants the lethargic artist’s model from an earlier dream.

Dreaming of Dagwood in 1974.

I’ve run this one before but it fits right in to the same 1974 series of comics themed dreams.

Another in the 1974 comics dream series. This is a long one starring none other than Jack Kirby!
