ORIGINAL ART or PRINTS?
Help me guys! I'm think of displaying my statues and busts with framed art work behind or above them. I see that some original art can be had at cons etc. from about $20 from artists trying to get in the field. The problem with orig. art is that its usually pretty rough and not colored AND you have to be at the con. I've seen some very nice prints for about $10 that are signed and colored. What is the general attitude towards prints for those that collect art?

Completely different animals (IMO). Original Art = Statues. Prints = Action Figures.

It all depends what kind of print it is really.

You should commission color artist renderings of your statues. That would be cool!

I agree with Galactus' analogy. But..if your'e going cheap ($10-20), then I say prints. Your'e not going to get much bang for your buck in OA with $20. You can get very nice prints $20 though.

Prints, lithos, giclees... some are actually beauties. Unless you're prepared to spend 30K on a Ross splash, giclees or canvas are the way to go.

I have some print and I have to say there is something great about having original art, it puts a smile to my face when I know I am the only one who has this particular art . If you want to get into prints there are a ton of great lithos which are nice and look great when you frame them. To boot there are sellers that have them signed by the artist which gives it a special touch to them

I'd go with prints. Love the colors & finished look that they have.
Original art from cons a lot of the time just looks very simple, plain & incomplete. And you know the effort put into them is very miniscule.
I dont mean ALL the time...but most.
