I love art. I especially love graphic art; whether it be some of the amazing things you see in adverts, especially older adverts, or posters or anything you’d traditionally find on paper. It is just so sexy.
I am always so very envious of those who can draw. I can do loads of different crafts and am pretty adept with the oil paints, but I cannot draw if my life depended on it.
This of course means I love the art in graphic novels. I may not read graphic novels but I love to look at them. I can spend hours upon hours getting lost looking at the beautiful art found within them and am marveled over how these artists are able to do what they do. I especially love seeing how the work evolved from sketched to final painted and print product. I also love looking at the single cells from old animated movies. You know, before computer animation and the time when each cell was hand-painted.
Having the ability to purchase these original pieces of art is awesome. Not just the reproductions or prints.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you KULT Studio. The founders of KULT studio, Brandon Savoy and Jeff Mackey, have created an online store where you can view and purchase original art. KULT studio’s
hand-selected collection is comprised of original production art and rare limited editions from an assortment of popular comics, animated movies and TV shows. Works from both established and underground artists are represented from studios such as Disney, Warner Bros., Marvel, DC Comics, 20th Century Fox and Lucasfilm.
Below are some samples.
There is a huge range in price for these pieces, from a few hundred dollars to well into thousands of dollars. This art is not cheap, as it is the original painted work. If you are looking for that one of a kind present for the geek art collector in your life, or even for yourself, there is loads of gorgeous art for you to view, drool over and purchase. You can purchase the art either unframed or framed.
A little bit more about KULT Studio from their info sheet:

Bwahahahahaahaa! Best thing I’ve seen so far this week: http://www.kultstudio.com/sorry.html Guess I’ll have to wait ’til I get home to check out their site.
Okay… that is hilarious!
The art is very cool, but most – at least the ones I wanted to buy – are just Giclée prints (fancy term for poster) and canvas prints, and over priced ones at that. Originals are worth thousands, but a print is never worth hundreds to thousands of dollars, especially when the artwork is based off of someone else’s creative concept.
