Original Art

[bryan-riot]

hey, does anybody know a good place to get original comic art. i've tried ebay and a handful of other places, but so far haven't had much luck. i'm looking for a 80's era daredevil page in particular, but any advice would help. thanks.

If you know the artist you're looking for specifically, a lot of the new guys sell their art directly, or have someone do it for them.

Other than that, your best bet is to go to a major comic convention. Those guys have all the pages right there, and there's a good chance you can wheel and deal a little.

If you're looking for Miller Daredevil pages, I hope you saved your money.

Yikes. I just checked out Alex Maleev's offerings just out of curiousity just to see how much things would cost.

Do people also sell reprints, which I assume would be much more affordable?

Well, I think Maleev's original stuff is insanely high since he does most of his stuff with a Wacom tablet... you won't get much original art that way. I know he offers reprints of his stuff at shows, which are pretty affordable as far as I know.

The only piece of original art I have is a page by Jim Lee from Punisher War Journals #17. Punisher is beating someone up in a Hawaiian shirt, which no doubt adds to its value. It's awesome.

that's what i would do. McKelvie sells the pages directly.

the Con booths are great and you can haggle them.

ha! if you're looking for Miller Daredevil...goooooood luck sir

Try splashpageart.com or http://www.fanfare-se.com/Artists.asp

Those are a good place to start.

You know, Alex Ross has some art for sale, only 12,000$ for some of his work, how could you go wrong?
But honestly conventions are always a good place to get some art.

Wow, there's actually a lot of reasonably priced stuff on there that I wouldn't mind having.

....damn it.

[jaflanagan]

Never ever go to splashpageart.com with a credit card if you know you don't have extra money. Dangerous that is....

[smeeeeee]

oh man, i am an original art freak. i've been recently looking for dustin nguyen original art for the longest time and his inker FINALLY just released them! im definitely gonna go get a couple of his pages.

i normally go to albert Moy's page for some good comic art on sale. Thats jim lee's direct seller and i dont think anyone but neal adams art goes as high as jim lee's work does... also is john casssdays dealer:

I'm not a big original art guy, but I like some of the artists over at Cadence. http://www.cadencecomicart.com

[hank41]

personally, i prefer sketches or commissions, but im not opposed to the idea of buying a page

[alaskalonewolf]

Good luck with finding original Daredevil (http://i23.ebayimg.com/05/i/08/b2/cf/29_1.JPG). Just so you know. We'd be bidding against each other if you did manage to find some on eBay (http://shop.ebay.com/items/_W0QQ_nkwZoriginalQ20DaredevilQ20artQQ_armrsZ1QQ_f romZR40QQ_mdoZ).

i think Frank Miller's prices have changed a little bit since then

anyone know how much original art usually goes for at a con? im heading to NYCC this february and picking up some art is at the top of my list. i sure the price range is pretty broad but im looking for a page from a big name artist (top of my list would be Frank Quietly)

[winters_night]

i'm interested in buying original art from comic productions. are there any websites (other then e-bay) that i should be checking out? thanks.

[paulsharkey]

I am saving up to buy a Chris Ware Page, now that's expensive.

[gabeja]

I have some original milton caniff sunday and daily terry and the Pirates pages. Those are pretty great. Is there anywhere where I can get Frank Quetley art?

[paulsharkey]

My GF got me my first ever original page for my birthday a few weeks ago. She got me page 44 of Ghost stories by Jeff Lamire. It's the best gift anyone has ever got me and it's gonna look fantastic in my comic room (I'm in the middle of buying a house and one of the rooms is gonna be a comic room).

[gabeja]

That's awsome, god I love that book

[hxcscarecrow]

this is annoying,
i cant find JRJR's pages for kick-ass anywhere!
