Hi guys,
I have a 10-15 year old sketch of Superman by golden age comic artist, Leo Nowak, who worked on the actual Superman comic in the 40s.  It's about 8x11 inches.  Here's a picture I put on my Tinypic:

Superman - by Leo Nowak

Obviously, it's one of a kind, but I was wondering if anybody had any thoughts on the best way to evaluate it's worth, or how to get it officially appraised, or whatnot.

Thanks!

To put this in context, I'm implementing the 'Include endpoints' toggle for GPick's "Mix colors" tool, which generates color gradients (a patch implementing this feature is here, btw). . This is meant to address the issue where you create a gradient, and the output colors get added to the palette -- and that includes a copy of the start and end colors (pink and yellow in this case).
When you want to insert a blend between two existing colors (rather than make an entirely independent ramp), this is annoying, because you now have two instances of the start and end colors -- ie

So-- .. Is this confusing or understandable, the way that 'Steps' changes when you toggle 'Include Endpoints'?
If you insist on being pessimistic about your own abilities, consider also being pessimistic about the accuracy of that pessimistic judgement.

How do you enable the 'click image to zoom in' feature on this website? I'd like to know if I could do the same thing on a Wordpress-enabled website, since I'm planning on uploading mainly pixel art there.

It's a script. Check the source, you'll see the link.

Too busy, too far, too many excuses to make it to GDC. Have fun though guys. Make sure you tie John Romero's hair to Adam Atomic's shoelaces. Hilarity!

Anyone else have a Nintendo 3DS? My toddler bricked my DSi with an epic juice maneuver, so I got a surprise 3DS gift last month. Never was a fan of Nintendo's online friend system because of those ridiculous numbers, but my friend code is 0688-6036-0065. I like to send stupid post-it note comic strips to whatever victims I can find.
