Wanted: Masashi Tanaka's Gon

[yertle]

I've been lurking in the original art forum for some time now admiring all the acquired artwork that has been posted. I believe I've been bitten by the bug to set out and seek my first piece. I am attempting to find a piece by Masashi Tanaka. I'm not sure if this the artwork does not exist but I have yet to turn up a piece while searching ComicLink, ebay, and the web in general. Does anybody have any trick to finding original art? I'm not even sure it will be in my price range once I find it.

 

For those who are not familiar with Gon here is the wikipedia entry and an attached picture for reference.

 

 

 

Thanks,

I've seen simple con sketches of Gon before in Japan, but never a published piece. That's par for the course with manga art. Having said that, anything is possible, so good luck!

I'm not an OA expert, but I surf alot and I have seen very very few manga art, especially published ones. I think there are a total of 2 or 3 published manga pieces on CAF (2 by Ozamu Tezuka and 1 by Ryoichi Ikegami)

 

Someone should start MAF - Manga Art Fans so we can see some Manga Art!

Well that is a shame. My OA collecting has come to an abrupt end before it even started. I guess I wont be finding pages of Akihito Yoomi's Eat-Man either.
