Where should I blow my dosh?

jamesjean.com has stunning work but he doesn't seem to sell it from there. (I'd always prefer to buy straight from the artist when I can)


(and hopefully it won't lead to other peoples' credit cards cursing my name)

Are you asking people to recommend artists who sell their work to you or art dealers?

I own original artwork from creators, who worked for Fantagraphics: Bagge, G.Hernandez, Clowes and Woodring.

I can recommend their original art! It´s a wonderful feeling to look at their artwork. For example, I got the HATE page, where Buddy and his girlfriend want to have dinner, and Lovegod Leonhard comes in to show off his "non-contagious" venereal warts. One of the best defining HATE moments ever.
So, I´m still happy about having bought it.

I bought all of these ten years ago, it was about 300 pounds per page. Since all of them have done lots of work since then, there should be affordable art for sale.

I've got one page, a page from issue 7 of Justic League, drawn by Kevin Maguire. It cost about £120, and is great.

Worth going to Gosh! near the British Museum, they hold some pages there.

I'm looking to buy from artists not from resellers. You know?

so my question really, I suppose, is what comic artists sell online that have work you would recommend to buy.

I bought a Luther Arkwright page (with him being shot), and my girlfriend bought a page from the Hellblazer annual direct from Bryan Talbot at the Comic Expo for £50 each. Maybe a bit more mainstream than you were hoping, but thought I'd throw them in there.

Yes, that´s fine.

Peter Bagge and Jim Woodring, for example, sell their artwork directly.

Bryan Talbot is a good

So is Duncan Fegredo who sells his original art from his website his website.

Fegredo was responsible for one of my favourite comics covers... issue 49 of Shade

Yeah, I found this site, which sells Fegredo, Sean Phillips, Weston, J.P. Leon and Cameron Stewart among others a while ago.

'S bloody expensive though. Hahh, $225 for the first page of The Filth, f'rexample. I'd love that, I really would.

And if you head on over to www.2000adonline.com you can find art by...

Boo Cook
Brett Ewins
Charlie Adlard
Colin MacNeil
David Millgate
David Roach
Dom Reardon
Dylan Teague
John Burns
John McCrea
Laurence Campbell
Patrick Goddard
Richard Elson
Simon Coleby
Simon Davis
Simon Fraser
Steve Roberts

Some is being sold by collectors or dealers but a lot is being sold either by the artists or on their behalf by W.R.Logan, Rufus Dayglo, and the big cahuna Wake Carter.

Prices start in the ball park of £30 and go up and I can heartily recommend Mr Carter as he's always been very good to buy from in the past.

More specific Link? Alrighty then - http://www.2000ad.org/artwork/

yes, that's the Gosh - they sell for artists, I seem to remember, so not direct, but as good as, although a lot of the stuff they hold is political cartoons, not sure if that's your thing. Bill Sienzwicz (sic) sells through his website, but again I think it's though a selling agent. Oh and there is an animation and comic art gallery in London, near Oxford Circus tube station, I can't remember the name exactly, but will check on it, I'm sure I have an address somewhere.
