I do buy from Atlantis because they are bringing things back that as mentioned before, did not exists anymore. Some of their box art has been pretty much re-done original box art.
And that is nice, but I do understand why they might be using new art, and that is simply because the existing art was not meant for individual sales. The parts kits models where sold in sets and breaking them up does require new box art.
As a box art afficionado, and somewhat of an artist myself, I just don't like the new boxes. Nothing against the artist, that is his style, but it is not box art type art to me. These are the paintings you see someone selling on the lawn at a car show. Maybe he will paint your car with you favorite pet in it or something.
There are tons of art options out there and I am sure lots of artist who would love to work with them to do box art, but did they ask a few folks or just saw this art somewhere and went for it? Who knows. They could wrap up these kits in butcher paper and I would still buy them. Luckily I have the originals and that is plenty good for Shelf Decor.
