Copies yes, originals only by accident
In answer to your question, sometimes the copy on paper prints is so good that i accidentally have sold the original.
The oil paintings, of which i'm bringing only one Shelby related one, is a portrait, is oil on top of a giclee canvas print of a smaller original . The original was probably sold in 2009 when I made my first painting.If you go to an art show like AFAS you'll note there's a vast difference in price between and original and a giclee (pronounced GHEE CLAY) even though they might look the same.
On a related subject,
I just watched the movie documentary on Netflix by Adam Carolla the second time and it really has a lot of great shots of Shelby & crew in Europe--I think if enough fans see this doc my theory is more collectors will be more interested in racing art of this period --'57-'69-- except alas doesn't seem to have a
single shot of a big block Cobras racing in Europe which I know they did (though w/o Shelby sponsorship)
It is not the
24 Hour War
