Our curational team is comprised of video game enthusiasts and art collectors + art specialists (some who have no knowledge of games). That makes for very interesting discussions during the selection process

Anyway, any questions let me know (my phone contacts are also on the site)!

Haha very true, also im a fan of Killzone so im definitely your ideal customer

Expect some sales

I wish I had the money right now, as all of those prints are gorgeous! And with me moving house soon (fingers crossed) I could really be doing with a nice focal point in my new livingroom xx

As for the No. 1's. These just sell out the fastest. We do not reserve them for the artist or creator per se. However, most buyers just click the first number on the list when ordering and don't go specifically for the No. 1's.

The Killzone art just went on sale last Thursday and no pieces will ship for a couple of days yet. If there is a piece that you like and you specifically would want the No. 1 of at this time (or just reserve it - no purchase obligation), drop me a line anytime at maarten(at)candb.com and I can ask the other buyer if he/she would object to taking a No. 2 or other number.

Other than that, send me (this goes for everybody) and email with your contact information in any case and I'll make sure to give you a preview of upcoming new art before it goes online so that you can have first pick.

No problem at all!

Many thanks for the information, i have sent you a pm with my email address. May i ask how often your site will be updated with art from a new franchise or new game

I know I'm a little late to the party but welcome to the forum.

Is there any chance you will be doing any work with Ninja Theory specifically Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and Heavenly sword.

I can definite confirm that there is interest and demand for some sort of art work for those two games and that studio.

[Maarten Brands]

@Nipper. There is no real standard update process but I'm expecting once every two months a "big franchise or IP" release, and every three/four weeks a new individual artist or selection of work.

The studio stuff can sometimes take up to 6 months to negotiate and prepare (gulp).

@gurps. We have been talking to Ninja Theory for a long time. They want to do it but we need to clear the rights still with Namco Bandai (and Capcom for Devil May Cry).

Out of interest, any particular image that you saw/have in mind?

Also, what would be other good places on the web for me to talk to collectors and enthusiasts?

Thanks again!

See some work there from Talexi (http://www.talexiart.com). I think he did that one promo image of the new DMC as well.
