Buying Corvette prints direct from the artist is less risky than buying  from an individual seller, because you can get answers for the most obscure questions that you can imagine since the artist is also the publisher having given him the total control of the quality of the final print for sale.

The print quality of the art will also be superior when it is published by the artist again, because his reputation rides on it. Not to belittle other publishers but keep in mind that publishers have a stable of artists that they publish and promote and although their quality must be high it can never compare to the self published artist since he created the artwork to begin with and knows how the colors should look on the finished print.

You can also get a better selection of prints i.e. personalized, low number editions from the artist's private collection that you will not be able to acquire from a third party.

Also the shipping will be more carefully monitored when the artist is the publisher since his reputation is behind it. Often times, shipping is museum quality with acid-free materials way above conventional shipping.
