BUYING A JAMES CHEN ORIGINAL ARTWORK IS POTENTIALLY A GREAT LONG TERM INVESTMENT. IN 1964 ANDY WARHOLS YELLOW BRILLOW BOX SCULPTURES SOLD FOR JUST $200. BUT ONE SOLD FOR $3 MILLION IN 2010 & SOME OF HIS PAINTINGS SELL NOW FOR $30 MILLION. IN 1993 I HELPED MY FRIEND DAVE COCKRUM OUT BY BUYING HIS ART PAGES FOR $30 A PIECE. BUT I HAD A HARD TIME RESELLING THEM TO DEALERS FOR EVEN $30 FOR YEARS EVEN THOUGH HE WAS THE CREATOR OF THE NEW X-MEN & CHARACTERS LIKE STORM & COLOSSUS. HE WAS NOT APPRECIATED IN HIS LIFETIME AS AN ARTIST.BUT HIS ARTWORK PRICES SKYROCKETED IN 2006 AFTER HIS DEATH WITH THE FEW PAGES OF ART I HAD LEFT FROM HIM SELLING FOR UP TO $500 A PIECE. VAN GOGH DIDNOT SELL A SINGLE PAINTING IN HIS LIFETIME, BUT NOW HE IS CONSIDERED AS ONE OF GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME WITH HIS WORK SELLING FOR UP TO $50 MILLION.

JAMES CHEN WORKED AS A FASHION DESIGNER FOR MANY YEARS CREATING AROUND 250,000 DESIGNS IN HIS CAREER USED TO MAKE ABOUT 250 MILLION PIECES OF CLOTHING GENERATING ABOUT $10 BILLION IN RETAIL SALES WORKING AS THE HEAD DESIGNER FOR FASHION COMPANIES SUCH AS BY DESIGN, SPORT-ELLE, TIARA AND CRYSTAL KOBE. SO MORE PEOPLE WORE CLOTHING CREATED BY JAMES CHEN THAN PROBABLY ANY OTHER DESIGNER EVER. JAMES CHEN ALSO OWNED THE PUBLISHING COMPANY DRAGON COMICS AND WAS THE ARTIST OF COMICS SUCH AS FIST OF THE DRAGON #1,2,3,& 0, LADY DRAGON #1, DRAGON & THE WARRIORS. JAMES CHEN IS ALSO THE SON OF FAMED ARTIST SUI KANG CHEN WHOSE CHINESE PAINTINGS ARE HANGING IN MUSEUMS ALL OVER THE WORLD. JAMES CHEN TRANSITIONED INTO A FINE ARTIST5 YEARS AGO DOING SMALL SKETCHES IN MARKER AND COLOR PENCILS , AND SCULPTURE, AND HUGE PAINTINGS AS LARGE AS 8 FEET TALL IN EVERY MEDIUM FROM WATERCOLOR PAINT, ACRYLIC PAINT, OIL PAINT AND TEMPERA PAINT. JAMES CHEN HAS ALSO VOLUNTEERED HIS TIME TO DO DOZENS OF MURALS FOR SCHOOL AUDITORIUMS AND SCHOOL CAFETERIAS SUCH AS 4 TWENTY FOOT TALL CANVASES WITH PROFILES OF ALL THE AMERICAN PRESIDENTS FOR ONE SCHOOL AND 6 FOOT MURALS OF NATURE SCENES SUCH AS PEACOCKS FOR ANOTHER SCHOOL CAFETERIA. JAMES CHEN EVEN PAINTED A LIFE SIZE PARK SCENE WITH DOZENS OF CHILDREN ON THE INSIDE WALL OF A SCHOOL THAT WAS THE LENGTH OF A CITY BLOCK. IN THOSE5 YEARS HE HAS BECOME THE MOST PROLIFIC ARTIST IN THE WORLD SELLING NEARLY 16,000 PIECES OF ONE OF A KIND ART IN JUST5 YEARS GROSSING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS. HE PRICES HIS SKETCHES VERY CHEAPLY INTENTIONALLY TO MAKE HIS ART AVAILABLE TO THE MASSES ALLOWING HIM TO GAIN RECOGNITION AS THE MOST PROLIFIC FINE ARTIST IN THE WORLD AS HE HAD ALREADY BECAME THE FASHION DESIGNER WITH CLOTHES WORN BY THE MOST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ( 250 MILLION PEOPLE). IT IS PROBABLY ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE HIS ARTWORK IS DISCOVERED BY THE ART GALLERIES, THE ART WORLD AND INDIVIDUAL COLLECTORS.
