My dad's 70th birthday is coming up in a few months. It's kinda a big one and he's not in the best of health, so I've been trying to think of a good present that he'd really dig. He was something of a comix fan in the late 60s early 70s, especially the Freak Brothers and Fat Freddy's Cat. So, I was thinking I could maybe get him some Sheldon original art. A quick ebay search got me nowhere though.

 

Is Sheldon art found frequently? I can't decide whether it'd be terribly expensive or not. If an original page or strip is out of my price range, maybe he goes to conventions? I could get him to do a little commission for me maybe.

 

Thanks for any help.

Using Google searching Gilbert Shelton original art I found this for sale, not cheap though. His art is probably a wise investment.

What is this "Google" of which you speak?

 

edit: Dang, that ain't cheap at all!

 

Geez Spedy..have you been up at the North Pole for a few years??

 

www.google.com

 

I'm kidding! I always feel dumb when I ask something before googling it...

Okay, I'm gonna try to get me some Freak Brothers or Fat Freddy's Cat art by mid February. The grail would be a nice FF's Cat strip, but I see those ain't cheap. I'd also be totally psyched to find Shelton at a convention or something and get a little commission action. He doesn't seem to be an easy man to track though.

 

Does anyone know about representation for him? Or a site that keeps track of his whereabouts and/or appearances. It'd be great if I could find him near NYC at some point, but it looks like he stays in the California area mostly. If I can find a show he'll be at there, and someone who's going to it, maybe I could get them to get the commission for me. Do folks ever do that?

 

Thanks for helping out, and my apologies for what must be a slew of noob questions.

Speedy-D,

 

Gilbert Shelton moved to France a number of years ago. He also sold his art in bulk to a few number of individuals who still have most of it.

 

I believe he is working with on a book with an European artist, as of a couple of years ago.

 

Best of luck,

Edwin
