ITEM! The Beguiling Art Store was recently able to acquire two very rare early pieces of Daniel Clowes’ work. We get asked for his original art all the time, but it’s very rare indeed that we have it available to sell. We actually got three pieces but one sold while we were sorting it in the store that day. Crazy. You can see the pieces at http://www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=0.

ITEM! Kagan McLeod, illustrator and author of Infinite Kung-Fu recently dropped off a batch of gorgeous new originals in the artstore! Some pages from Infinite Kung-Fu, some new illustrations, and Kagan has promised more are on the way! Check them out at http://www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=52.

ITEM! The 2012 TCAF Poster is now available for sale! Featuring an original illustration by Gabriel Ba and Fabio Moon, it is gorgeous and we’ve already gotten numerous inquiries as to whether it’s for sale. It is! It’s $10 online or in-store, and we’ve also created a few other packages so you can get allll the TCAF posters. http://www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=59.

ITEM! We’ve just reached an agreement to represent the original art sales of Bigfoot and Reunion artist Pascal Girard. Those should be online and ready for sale in early June!

The Beguiling Artstore is proud to welcome artist Marco Rudy as its newest represented artist for original comic book artwork. Marco Rudy’s original art is now available at http://www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=85.

Rudy has recently arrived in Toronto and his career has been on a dramatic upswing, with mainstream comics gigs on DC’s The Shield, Superboy, and Action Comics to his credit. Recently Marco Rudy became the alternate artist on Scott Snyder’s well-received reboot of SWAMP THING for the New DC 52. We’re quite happy to announce that all of the pages from Marco’s first issue, Swamp Thing #4, are currently available for sale in the art store (except one, which has sold).

All of us here at The Beguiling would like to send a special congratulations to the winners of the 2011 Harvey Awards, so named for Harvey Kurtzman, founder of MAD Magazine (and probably Peter’s favourite cartoonist).

So without further ado (and listed in the order that they are on the Harvey’s website)…

BEST SINGLE ISSUE or STORY
* Daytripper, Fabio Moon and Gabiel Ba (Vertigo/DC Comics)

This is a rather nice collaborative page from Ba & Moon on BPRD, because they don’t sell any of their originals from their creator-owned work, and that includes Daytripper. Of course, all of their other work is lovely too… why not check it out?

We here at The Beguiling are very pleased to announce that we’ve made available new original artwork from master Canadian cartoonist SETH in our artstore, http://www.beguiling.com/artproductlist.asp?ID=29.

These mark the first time that we’ve ever been able to make original comics pages by Seth available for sale, as until recently he’s kept a fairly tight hold onto his sequential comics pages. Included are four interior pages from It’s A Good Life If You Don’t Weaken, the cover illustrations for the recent Palookaville 20, and some lovely paintings. Check it out now!
