DOOM
DR DOOM, but I cannot make my mind up who to do the pencils. Does
anyone think one is better then the other?? Duursema or Marat?? Which
one will be more sought after 10 years from now. Has anyone else had
any commission work done, and suggestions...I think the completed
pencil, inked, and colored pictures look great from the comic art
wherehouse web site. be about $300 for the complete process, is that
a good price?? I had ask you guys about Dan Brereton, but he wanted
$500 which was out of my price range. thanks for any help...DOOM!!!

Which artist's work do you =like= better?
>Which one will be more sought after 10 years from now.
If you're looking for something to buy that will appreciate in value, I'd
recommend stock in, say, General Electric or Disney or Pfizer.
But if you're intent on investing in art, you'll want to buy from the one
most likely to die between now and then, as artists' work goes up in value
after they die. Yes, this is a creepy approach, but no more so than
selecting an artist based on ROI in the first place.
Ask just about any stock investor who's been successful in the long term,
and he'll tell you to look for basic =value= in a stock. e.g. For a
manufacturer, do they produce quality products, have a solid supply network,
maintain good labour relations, enjoy consistently good profit margins, etc?
Art is the same... just the nature of "value" is different. And frankly, if
you can't tell whether an artist's work is going lasting value or not (not
that there's anything wrong with not being able), maybe art isn't something
you should be trying to consider as an investment.

I'll make it simple for DOOM. Buy from Jan Duursema. She's the better artist
of the two, and has been working in comics for nearly 12 years. She has a
better grasp of anatomy and storytelling. Plus her stuff just looks neat.
Just don't expect to be able to easily turn around and liquidate the painting
you end up getting.
