We also now carry the original art of Mark Chiarello, the Art Director at DC Comics, and quite the lovely individual (all our artist friends are really nice, it's our first requirement after talent!). He has worked on several books including "Heroes of the Negro Leagues." Mark is also working on his own website, and it will be ready soon.
We are proud of our gallery and believe you'll enjoy working with us and respect our keen eye for great art and dogged pursuit in the acquisition of it for you!
1. We're honest, straightforward, and enthusiastic about what we do.
2. We're about education, hence the ACES artinsights collectors education series.
3. We've been selling animation and film art for 22 years, ArtInsights has been open for 15 years, and were on the art advisory board for Disney.
4. We have lots of special shows with guest artists, many of which are the first in the country or with exclusive art.
5. We do a lot of research on every piece that we sell and stand behind it all.
6. We think charity connection is an essential part of success as a small business, and we work with many of them in and outside the gallery.
7. We are one of only three galleries allowed to carry the original art of John Alvin, and have exclusive art from Mary Grandpre & DC comic art director Mark Chiarello.
8. We are always finding new art and up and coming artists for our clients--not what has already been made flavor of the month, but what is possibly next year's flavor.
9. We have had more art commissions turned into limited editions by the Disney fine art program than any other gallery.
10. We never give up on finding the art for our clients, if it takes a day, a year or 12 years!
I showed the Top Ten List to one of our best clients and she said,"very good, but you forgot to add 'We find art that is not to be believed, even for our fussiest clients!!' " And, yes - she is my fussiest client (said with love, missy & you know who you are!).
