  1. I think that depends on the artist. 

    You should ask what/how they plan to work-most like to talk about process, and then build out on what you'd like from there.

    I've only had one recreation done-after facilitating the sale of the original to a friend. The artist in question asked to take the opportunity to 'correct' imperfection that he saw in the original. I was good with that as I don't ever want anyone to mistake it for the original. In the end, although it's not worth as much as the original piece I think visually it's a better piece, and it's one large sheet instead of two 11x17s taped together.

  2. I've been noticing more pie in the sky pricing as well. We all saw that Preacher page listed at 13k. 

    And yeah, we can move on but why not talk about it the phenomenon? 

    I assume it's either someone looking for a sucker or only being willing to part with something at an outlandish price. 

  3. I don't think it hurts resellability too much. Anyone with a third of a brain will know you're not 'Sweet Cheeks Magee' or what not nor will a fan or collector care. I will say however word balloons can kill a nice comm imo.

    Michael Lark recently did a 'cheeky' commission for me and then when he signed  a hardcover for me he referenced it in the personalization. I think it makes the autograph more interesting.

    On a published page, I think it adds character so long as it doesn't obscure the artwork.
