Acquiring David Aja Art

[Datticus]

I would love to get some Iron Fist for myself and Hawkeye for the missus, Is this even possible? Has anyone had success?

[Hekla]

I'd like some Hawkeye myself, but I've heard he's not turning any of that loose.

[Rodey]

He told me at a con that he doesn't sell his art. Unless someone he worked with has it.

[Jesusjon]

Ugh I have been trying for years. Really wanted some early iron fist stuff. He has been very consistent about not selling...

[malvin]

and not only that, he has gone digital.

What Malvin said. Hawkeye is almost totally digital. No OA out there.

 

From a CBR interview with Aja:

 

Do you do any of your illustration work digitally, or is it all with pencil, pen and brush?

 

I used to sketch on computer then print it out on boards and ink it, but right now with Hawkeye I’m doing almost everything digitally.

[Doc Joe]

I have tried numerous times, won't even do the courtesy of a "no", just silence....

 

[kav]

I befriended him in emails and he promised me original sketch if i ever see him at a con. I guess if someone said they were kav....

[Garf]

He was at Thought Bubble in Leeds but I couldn't be bothered to go.... had already been to two cons in the latter half of the year and couldn't justify it. I would have been front of the queue or pretty damn close for sure...

[Crescent]

I emailed him through his site some time ago, when he was working on The Immortal Iron Fist, and he told me he didn't sell his work. I also tried a different approach, as we live in the same town and share the same comics shop, so I asked the shop's clerk if he could ask him about original art for sale. He got the same answer as me.

[Garf]

One of the con sketches on CAF cited an 8 hour line to get an Aja sketch at Thought Bubble Leeds UK last month

[kav]

maybe the old 'its for my sick daughter' would get you to the head of the line.

All that's good for is stopping Bisley from drawing a massive on your sketch.
