Art Original Artwork

what qualifies as "Original art"18255

Collector Lobofan private msg quote post Address this user
I had a t shirt airbrushed over 25 years ago inspired from a close up of Lobo's face (I think it was in issue zero from zero hour). Anyway that artist signed it, but my interest in getting it framed since I got it signed by Keith Giffen at Galaxycon in Richmond in 2019. Do t shirts count as art? and since K Giffen didn't make it and I'm not trying to pass it off as he did. Is this something that could be authenticated just that he did sign it?

Yes original art on fabric can be considered. As far as having the signature authenticated some original comic art auction houses may have that service available. It helps if you have supporting documentation for provenance. Also if you have the artist information who did the original airbrush that would help in their research and valuation. Some artist can certify their own signatures.

@Lobofan

You can get a signature authenticated through Beckett or psa if I recall correctly. They authenticate baseballs and jerseys so I don't see why a t shirt would be any more difficult.

original art is anything that was created for you (or original person). not print. regardless of what its on. Im sure if you got an artist to personally tattoo you...its original art.

Thank you all for your responses. Once my life gets a little less hectic, I'll get more into it.
