Hi everyone!

I had many new fans ask for tips about how to get started collect art!

From my point of view, as an artist and art collector, I have several places I like to go to, to look for
my favorite type of art.
I like collecting beautiful art, fantasy art, anime art, concept art sketches, and comic book related art, among
other subjects. I like searching online to find new pieces of art.

Remember fans, Google.com  is your friend. I love to type keywords about the type of art I like to collect,
and this is a great way to discover new artists and find new art that you can fall in love with.

There are also So many choices on Ebay.com ! They have been around for many, many years, and you can find thousands of new paintings listed there. Check it out, and check in often!

types of paintings and so much more there!

discover new artists from just visiting the discussion boards in those websites.
