Comic Art Commissions - New Comic Artists Directory Launches
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) January 30, 2008 -- Metro-Atlanta resident Terry Maltos represents the comic book artist Al Rio. He also runs the successful web directory "The Comic Art Links Directory" and the auction and images site "The Comic Art Community."
Terry has built a new site for artists who draw custom commissions and buyers who regularly commission artists to draw. It's called Comic Art Commissions.com.
If you are an artist - register and list yourself. This site will definitely get you commission jobs or at the very least - hits to your web site. Once registered, artists can list their commission rates, upload art for sale, upload sample images, link to a web site, easily manage listings and get exposure to a targeted audience of comic art buyers.
Buyers can search for a good artist to get a commission from. They can get informed about artists by reading artists review, viewing artist ratings, sending messages to artists or simply searching by price range, estimated turn-around time or the artist's preferred genre.
Comic Art Commissions.com. It's a virtual-Con full of artists and buyers.

The Perception of Comic Books
Comic books have carried a negative stigma for as long as they have existed. Viewed as juvenile, cheap or inferior forms of literature and art, comic books have had an uphill battle from day one.

Comic books and original comic art
Comic books have been staple for the young and even the old for a several decades. It is amazing how these static drawings are able to make comic book characters come alive. There are superhero, action, romance and even touching human interest stories that dwell in the folded pages of a comic book. Comic books are immensely popular because they are able to bridge the divide between a book and a movie, between a narration and an actualization and between reality and fantasy. And they do so with ease and much more cost effectively than any film. For a few thousand dollars an artist can produce a high quality comic book or for under an hundred dollars he or she can create an online comic.

Original comic art – living legacy of comic books
Most of us are very familiar with comic books and comic characters. For those who take a deeper interest in comics, the characters may seem as real as people in their lives. And they know the personality of the character very well. They in fact become so familiar with the character that they can anticipate the things that the character says and they can even mimic some of the character's comic expressions. In a sense the comic characters can seep into the lives of the character's fans as much as another human being can do.
