First of all, the best of luck to David for the new site. Personally, I do not sell reprints on the website (and on the rare occasion that I do, they are clearly identified), but I DO sell a small number of reprints at the brick-and-mortar shop. I have one standee with reprints, they are clearly separated from the originals, and they are perfect for inexpensive decoration, which is something I’m being asked for on a regular basis.
Nothing wrong with reproductions in my book, as long as they are labelled correctly and priced accordingly.
