MEAT LOAF RECORD ALBUM COVER PAINTING (1979)

Media Type: Painting
Art Type: Cover

Artist(s): Bernie Wrightson (all)

WOW! Just feast your eyes on not only the "LARGEST" but arguably the best actual painting Bernie Wrightson ever created! (Not pen and ink with watercolors dropped in as he did on most of his color pieces)…And this masterpiece is most likely the largest painting he EVER CREATED, with an actual art image measuring…31 by 31 inches, and it's framed beautifully! Bernie Wrightson had some HUGE shoes to fill as he was following up Richard Corben's CLASSIC painting cover to the WIDELY successful "Bat Out Of Hell" record album cover painting. THIS record album painting ALSO features the same blond haired "CONAN-LIKE" character from the BAT OUT OF HELL record album cover, but this cover also features 3 beautiful nude women riding on the MONSTER MOTORCYCLE with the Conan-like character as they ride on top of the water while one of the nude women and the male character hold a HUGE banner which I of course reads: "MEAT LOAF" which is promoting the DEAD RINGER record album! So what we ultimately have here is the actual record album cover to meat loaf's second LP album entitled "DEAD RINGER!!" As far as size…….This amazing HUGE piece is close to 1 1/2 to twice the size of anything Wrightson has ever drawn of any significance!…and the quality is far superior…. This is arguably the best Wrightson painting EVER! RUMOR has it that meat loaf bought this painting directly from Wrightson. Meatloaf supposedly sold it when he went bankrupt in the early 80's and the collector who bought it from him had it since then….This painting was done around 1979 about the same time as the Frankenstein plates….But the album got delayed and didn't appear on record stands until 1981. In terms of technique, it's arguably the best painting he ever did….keep in mind… this was done for an "LP cover" for one of the biggest rock artists of THAT time! If you want to own a TRUE piece of Bernie Wrightson, AND "MUSIC" history…….. You REALLY shouldn't pass up this most AMAZING PAINTING! ALL HIGH end pieces of art, including this one, are able to be purchased with VERY fair time payment plan options, and trades are always considered towards this and any other pieces of art on my site here! Just send me an email and we can try to work something out.

James Jean FABLES 69 Painting Original Cover Art

Winning bid: US $8,306.00 Seller: comiconart!! ( 3187 )

Description:

Condition: excellent – archivally framed

COMMENTS: This is a fantastic original painted cover by modern master James Jean! Over the course of his landmark seven year run as the cover artist for Fables, James amassed an impressive FIVE consecutive Eisner Awards for Best Cover Artist, as well as countless other awards and accolades. Since ending his run on Fables with the cover to Fables 81, James has devoted his time to persuing a career in fine art. Judging by his sold out solo show "Kindling" at Jonathan Levine Gallery in January of 2009, and his recent exhibition of new work at the Giant Robot anniversary show at the Japanese American National Museum, it's clear to see that James wastes no time in rising to the top!

This particular cover is a fully painted piece for the penultimate issue of "The Good Prince"! Created at the beginning of his final year on Fables, this piece is an excellent indication of the direction in which James would be heading. With similar subject matter, and executed in a similar style to the work exhibited in his first solo fine art show, this piece deftly bridges the gap between comic art and contemporary fine art. The painting itself measures 15" x 22", acrylic on Rives BFK, and the painting has been archivally framed next to a full-size giclee print of the final published artwork, also signed and dated by James Jean. It truly does not get much better than this!

I am happy to combine shipping on multiple wins and website purchases!

George Perez Justice League of America Original Art

Winning bid: US $16,389.36 Seller: swing_daddy ( 343 )

Description:

This is an 11×17 (roughly) George Perez pen and ink original cover drawing from an issue of Justice League of America. As you can see, the page is a little dirty around the edges. It was this way when I got it, I imagine it got handled a bit.

As you can also see, the pieces was personalized, but it is not in a place where you could not white it out or cover it up if you choose to.

It's a nice piece with a lot of characters on it, kind of a Perez specialty. Not sure what issue this was from.

Ships via USPS. If you want a more expensive delivery than standard or would like insurance please let me know and I will quote it.
