Would comic stores buy original ink drawings? Not fan stuff, all original stuff.


Not still life either. I went to a gallery to sell my stuff and she took down my contact info and took pictures of my artwork
to show to a prospective buyer but I have not heard back.

You should follow-up with her. You can also try a community art gallery or get a seller's license and set-up a table to sell at a conference, fair, etc.. You can also join an art group, organization or class to get feedback and network for opportunities.

There are also online sites that allow you to sell, but they take a big percentage. You can also place your artwork on Tshirts, mugs, bags, etc. to sell merchandise. There are online sites for this as well or just sell them directly on your own website.

You can draw couples, children, families, etc if you're good at drawing their likeness.

Show us some and let us know if you want general encouragement or hard core criticism.

You could send some of your artwork to a guy name Eric July - he has a start up comic company, you might be able to find work there.

Depends on the store. Kevin Smith's store here in NJ has been known to buy it but they don't pay very well.
