My daily trips around the world wide web (I miss that usage) always include an Ebay stop.
After a dry period of not-much-happening online a small number of original drawings by New Yorker artists have shown up.
I’ll begin with Ed Fisher. We don’t see too many of his originals up for grabs, but at this writing there are a half dozen, five of them recently posted (go to Ebay and enter Ed Fisher New Yorker into the search box). All of the recent Fisher listings are starting off very low (around $20 – $25). Here’s one:
There are at least the same number of Gahan Wilson drawings. Here’s one that appeared in The New Yorker. Prices start higher than Mr. Fisher’s.
Here’s a Charles Saxon drawing that’s been available for a few months.
and finally, this one by Joe Mirachi…
Here are the A-Z’s for the artists mentioned above:
