Cameron Stewart posted his amazing “pencils” from Batman and Robin #16 on his blog the other day. I would love to buy the original pages! Too bad they’re aren’t any.
From Cameron Stewart’s blog post:
Unfortunately, none of these pages are for sale…as they don’t exist! I did this issue completely digitally, so there are no physical pages.
Wow, those are some very pretty digital drawings. I found the direction Stewart has added to “Insert Painting Here” pretty amusing. If you want to see more of his work from Batman and Robin #16 like the above image, or this gem:

Stewart joins fellow Batman & Robin alums Frazier Irving and Frank Quitely in the move to Digital penciling. But what this will mean for fans of original art?
No original art means no original art sales for Cameron Stewart. It may be a sign of the times but there is nothing like the tactile excitement of holding and viewing original art.
You can take a scan of the original and it may be an exact copy,…but it still is a copy.
Collecting original art is also a great hobby and investment! If you think about it, a NM copy of your favorite “key” is great but there is only ONE on the census of every page of original art.
