SUNSET by Bernie Wrightson!
Master illustrator and Swamp Thing co-creator, Bernie Wrightson will be in attendance at Austin’s Mondotees-Con this coming weekend, and he’ll have an exclusive print debuting at the convention!
“Sunset” is a 20×30″ hand-printed silk-screen art print- signed and numbered by Bernie in an edition of 150 worldwide. Printed on Speckletone Madero Beach French Paper, and featuring a stunning split-fountain in the sky!
This image has never before been released to the public, and is presented here for the first time!
From Tim Doyle- “A few months back, Bernie mentioned he’d be at the convention, and that he’d like to have a new print at the show. Going through some of his more recent work, he pulled this gem out, in black and white format, and asked if I would be interested in doing the coloring on the print. I was…very honored at the request, and also slightly terrified. How could I possibly hope to work on top of a guy like Bernie? Once I started, I was surprised at how little I actually had to do, to define form and shading- so much of it was already present in the line. That massive dark shape at the center of the image was already about as perfect as it could be, and all I had to do was just give a little bit of modelling to it, and it just came alive. Working on this was truly a rare treat.”
Here’s a pic of the finished print, fresh off the press, and before trimming-
