ello and welcome to Guy Davis Artworks, where you can check out some of my illustration and comicwork while I try to catch up with the rest of the 21st century by putting it online. If this is your first glimpse of my art, then I hope you enjoy what you see and if you are already familiar with some of my work I hope you find some surprises inside — but either way I hope you check back to see what's new and what's coming up.
 


  Original Artwork On EBAY!
Rare artwork now on sale!
Before I blow another New Year's resolution, I'm cleaning up those studio closets and decided to offer up some artwork on eBay! You can find some rare and odd pieces on sale now— Batman, Hawkman and Planet of the Apes! Along with my model sheets to the Amazing Screw-On Head animated pilot and the original artwork to my Grendel: Black, White and Red story!

I probably won't be putting up the huge art-for-sale list of pages back on the website, it was too hard to keep track of and manage. But if you're interested in any page or piece of artwork shown on this site or in any of the B.P.R.D. comics I'm currently doing— feel free to e-mail me with your requests and I'll be happy to see if they are still available for sale.
