Mix. 'Cause some existing artwork is worthy enough to get included in an artbook, and exclusive 'cause surprises are also good.

Mix of exclusive and existing will be good. You know some artworks can look reeeeeeally good in print, more than in pixel. I really think so.

_{Hard to say as the only artbook I have is a Yoshitaka Amano one...and a lot of it I haven't seen online or anything, while others are extremely recognizable. But probably a mix of both - it'd be like a treasure hunt every single time you open it.}

A mix ^^ artworks can look better on paper, it would be nice to have both *o* it's just not the same on paper and digitally.

I love exclusive artwork, but it's likely to be more expensive (although tthat's not to say it isn;t worth the price!). It's also lovely to have a hard copy of pre-existing work (like starfightercomic <3), I think - the exclusive makes it doubly special.

If it's a really popular piece - like one which would be a good print, I like to see it in artbook.

I also like processes/sketches in artbooks. Like, no one will buy them individually, but they're a nice way to fill out a book.

It all depends. If this is like their 3rd or 4th book, then I would expect it to have more exclusive art work.

If it was their first or maybe their second art book, I would think that they would cover as much of their work as they could and would have a record their existing work it in a published book.

I think it would be kinda hard to have a book of purely exclusive work if this person makes a living by selling their art work, but I can see them holding on to a few just for an upcoming book.
