His stuff isn’t cheap but it also moves if it needs to. I would like to look at owning original art pieces as opposed to heading to ikea for some generic pieces

I’ve seen his stuff in a lot of galleries. Masters runs quite a bit. Plus I’ve looked in galleries in Canada and in US.

I just started looking at auction sites but unsure which ones are more legit or likely to service his work

An honestly if some art snobs want to tear him apart or suggest other artists with similar styles etc. I’m all years.
I've bid on a couple of David's pieces after seeing one on display at the Glenbow (never won any of them). I don't think you need to worry, he's well regarded.

Most importantly, one of the nice things about art is that you get to collect things that appeal to you... you don't need to worry about what other's think.
