Sell your porn doodles and xeroxes here on Ebay!

At least that's what it feels like whenever I look at the section that is supposed to be offering Comic Art.

It's also a good place to list prints, comic books and tea pots

Bit like perusing CAF, eh?

I wish people would stop posting photographs of themselves and (X) artist on CAF. For that matter, I wish they wouldn't post any photographs at all of anything. It is clearly not what CAF is for but people continue to do it.

In addition to all the porn and xeroxes my peeve is all the hack-y sketch cards by Korey Watkins! Unless you're a 7-year-old or have some sort of disability you should probably hold off on trying to sell your art till you know how to draw.

Damn. I missed that one. I've been looking for a good deal on a tea pot.

OK. I'll admitt the original post and most of the subsequent posts have been hilarious. Thank you all for the good laugh.

 

But it's not entirely accurate. There are plenty of nice pieces of OA on eBay. A lot of dealers including some of the biggest have eBay stores and each one list dozens to hundreds of items every week.

 

There's plenty of "porn doodles and xeroxes" along with primitive sketches for sure. But then what does one expect in the world's largest flea market?

 

The real problem is that most (but not all) of the decent/good/great stuff is for sale as "buy it now" with prices 2x-5x what it would likely sell for at auction.

 

It's the occasional nice piece for sale at a real auction that keeps us looking...

I've stopped regular browsing on eBay for "original comic production art" since slogging through the pages of prints, copies, color tests, no-name sketches became a chore (same with original animation cel art). Shame since I see in completed auction listings some good pieces that sold for nice low prices since they real OA get hidden behind all the junk.

 

Does eBay have a way to flag items that are mis-categorized or can be put in a better subcategory or do they let it go since I know they charge extra if you want to list an item in multiple categories.

 

I now just buy OA directly from online artist's dealers and comics from a couple large stores with online shops.

They really need a section that only includes published art, so that we can report all of the random that shows up.

[bluechip]

It does seem like compartmentalization would be a good thing. I don't mind commissions, but they are different from comic art. And I believe some sub-categories, like unused art and prelims, are undervalued compared to their published cousins; but, still, they should be in a separate category.

 

I feel the same about vintage proofs and stats (talking about the ones created before the book was published and not created years or decades later for reprints); they can be great pieces and in many cases quite undervalued, when you consider what people pay for limited prints and lithos, etc. But, they are not "art" in the same sense and it's more accurate to call them memorabilia or production art, which should be in a different category.

 

If they want to create a category for nearly new prints or porn doodles, that would be fine, too.

 

 

[batman_fan]

my big fear is with Ebay's ability to list under multiple categories, people would list under "crappy porn sketch" and "cover".

[Faerydae-migration]

I think I post most of my porn doodles under the Direct From Artist categories ...

 

Same goes for my comic art, . I suppose that I figure most folks don't really bother browsing by category anyway these days and most just use the keyword searches to narrow down some of the junk that they aren't interested in.

As porn doodles go, your sig line sketches aren't bad

 

[Faerydae-migration]

Aww thank you! But, ah, well .... those aren't my porn doodles! .

 

I wouldn't post my porn doodles in a comic oriented space, unless they had comic characters in them (which does happen ) ... and I figure most spaces are likely to be family friendly ... sooo then I still restrain myself in that regard.

 

However, I *do* post pretty much every freaking thing I ever make in my Flickr, but my more adult stuff is all set to moderated for the kiddies, so your settings have to be to allow moderated content in order to see "dah floozies in all their porn doodle glory". rofl

 

That being said, I don't actually do pornographic art (though I have in the past, it just isn't something that floats my boat) - my "porn doodles" aren't actually graphic or explicit, I prefer to imply that sort of thing as I think that is harder to do, and harder to do *well*.

 

I often get a lot of heat for doing erotic or pin up work that is nude or sensual ... maybe because I am a girl or something (not really sure why it's such a hot button for a hetero female to enjoy drawing nude females ::shrug: but a lot of folks criticize me for doing my sexy doodles. I just shrug it off and doodle up some more. hee!

Faerydae,

 

Doodle porn to your heart's content. It doesn't bother me because it doesn't look like you sell them in the comic art section of ebay! (thumbs u

 

It seems more artistic than pornographic anyway. Some of the stuff on CAF and ebay really doesn't belong in the same sentence.

[Faerydae-migration]

Claudio! I try to keep that stuff in appropriate areas for the most part, !
