I am finally getting around to offering most of my old analog pages for sale. I started moving to a digital workflow about twenty years ago, so most of these are older than that and some are older than 30 years. I have divided the pages into four groups, mostly in an attempt to keep story pages together in the event that buyers would rather have that as a default option. Artists and printmakers: I am happy to consider trades and combinations of pieces, send your proposal to shop@blackrocksbooks.com. All of my art sales are subject to my conditions of sale.

Prints
I am looking to get more printmaking done in house so stay tuned for that. In the meantime some of my prints are also available in archival quality from InPrnt. I recommend you sign up for their email or social media blasts to get a better deal on shipping, which goes on sale often.
Commissions
I do have limited time available for commissions. You can generally assume that pricing will follow the recommendations of the Pricing and Ethical Guidelines of the Graphic Artists Guild. I enjoy storyboarding, making educational and other comics, and general illustration. As with most things, I am open to trades. For a quote, send a description of your request including the dimensions and subject matter to heyscottmarshall@gmail.com.
Terms of Sale
My original art, prints, and commissions are sold with the following conditions as a baseline. Exceptions are available by request, please contact me for details.
- I cannot and will not ship to nations where I can reasonably expect that packages will be intercepted, searched, reported, and/or withheld for oppressive reasons. This includes the USA, mainland China, Russia, and North Korea.
- As is normal in the world of art sales, your purchase of a piece of original art or a print or a commission does not give you any other rights to that work (eg., publishing or reprinting). You are only paying for the physical piece of artwork which you are free to resell or leave to your heirs as you please. I retain all other rights unless we negotiate otherwise. I am happy to quote for licensing and other rights should you need it.
- All items will ship with Canada Post with packages insured to the value of your order and tracking. Note that Canada Post is having rotating strike actions which may affect delivery times. I am happy to make arrangements to ship using other methods or local pickup in Halifax (while I am still here) or Saint John.
Black Rocks Books is a micropress and zine distro run by Scott Marshall. It exists to promote and celebrate comics and illustration created in Atlantic Canada (or by our expats and imports). If you have any issues or questions, please don't hesitate to contact me via email at shop@blackrocksbooks.com or ask in the BRB Discord. You can follow @blackrocksbooks on Bluesky. If you want to follow my art stuff as well you can follow @scottmarshall on BlueSky.
Black Rocks Books operates gratefully in Mi’kma’ki, the
ancestral territory of the Mi’kmaq people.
We also acknowledge that people of African descent have been in Nova Scotia for over 400 years, and we honour and offer gratitude to those ancestors of African descent who came before us to this land.
This site is always under construction, and I am a broken man on a Halifax pier doing all this. Please bear with me.
