I sold a lot of the covers for Jusko back in the day. Sizes varied depending on how Joe felt about the image. MI

And thank you, Will.

Children’s book art does not sell well here in the U.S. there are a couple galleries here that sell the art. There is no shortage of artists trying to sell their work. I tried several years ago to no avail. the main problem is most of the artists treat their work as fine art, and prices reflect that. Seek out these galleries and look at the prices. Most of them are quite high. How many parents are going to buy their kid a $1000 - $10,000 illustration from a contemporary kids book. That’s the reality of the market. You have artists like Adam Rex and Tony DiTerlizzi who have a decent collector base. But it’s not like their art goes flying out the door. And you have Sendak. For every Sendak that sells, which are mostly sketches, there are more that don’t sell. I agree with Will that Sendak has long term collectibility. So while Dog Man has a pre order of 5 million copies, very, very, very few would buy Dave Pilkey’s originals. The market overseas for Children’s book art is another discussion. MI

I think you have your Vernon’s confused. Vernon Grant painted the Rice Krispies. vernon Greene is the artist in question. MI

I sold that story for Bernie about 18 years ago. MI

Nope, he was the art director for the Trek movie posters who made a deal with Peak to keep the originals. MI

Hey All, Only 3 weeks till the end of our Holiday Sale. Click HERE to see the art on sale. Thanks for looking and have a Happy Holiday Season! Best, Mitch Itkowitz Graphic Collectibles

The owner contacted me to consign the Kaluta. When he told me what he paid, which is what I had to sell it for, I immediately passed, as I knew it would never sell at the consignors price. To say the consignor took a bath would be an understatement. MI

But me! 😜

Well, you still don’t have a piece of Marvel art, but rather a fan drawing of a Marvel character. This was never printed, nor is it even an unpublished drawing. Some fanboy, at some point in time, sat down and did this terrible drawing. Someone threw it under Stan’s nose to sign. What “reputable art gallery” did you purchase this from? Value = what ever the overpriced signature cost. You should get a refund as you have been duped. Mitch Itkowitz/Graphic Collectibles

Consign it to me. MI

I have a nice twice up Heck Avengers page on my web site. https://graphiccollectibles.com/index.php/artist-search/?search=1&selectedSearchField[]=37&akID[37][atSelectOptionID][]=1293

I think you should buy what you like, and like what you buy. Don't let anyone influence your buying anything you like. Mitch I.

It’s a 10k page to the people who would never pay 10k.

I’ve sold Philippe a few originals in the last year. MI

If I knew who the pencilled was, I wouldn’t have consigned it to Heritage

Misrepresent artist attribution even in the face of overwhelming proof the artist in question didn’t draw it? MI

I consigned it to Heritage, and when I saw Eric post it on CAF, I made a comment how nice of him to try to flip the art when he didn’t have it in his possession yet. Needless to say he didn’t like my comment, and has since deleted it. MI
