Pistella owns it he may have a picture of it from before it was restored.

 

Actually the write up is interesting as Frank admitted it was a mistake to alter the painting, as he never got to complete his vision for it.

I think it actually changed hands and is no longer owned by Rob?

Is Frank the George Lucas of fantasy painting?

 

lol A valid comparison, but at least some would say the changes Frank made improved the paintings.

 

There was an early EERIE cover painting with a dinosaur in a swamp and two figures in the foreground. In later years, Frank overpainted the two figures, totally destroying the visual hook. Thankfully, the painting was later restored to its original glory.

I'm familiar with the original Warren published version but not the revision. Anybody have a side by side of the two handy? Always willing to take Terry's word for it ("totally destroyed") but this time would like to see for myself ;)

 

The pre-restoration version is still in Rob Pistella's CAF Gallery. I wasn't actually suggesting the painting was 'totally destroyed' by the overpainting of the two figures in the foreground - just the visual hook. The restoration successfully brought those two guys back!

:ohnoez: where do you even begin? Good thing my neighbors downstairs were kind enough to walk up my jaw for me. Of course they were so shocked they didn't even think to complain about the hole in their ceiling!

Can someone please explain to me how the BWS Conan Sage #4 piece is from the year 2000, when Conan Saga #4 came out in 1987?

 

If as i suspect this is just a recreation of that piece, then surely the title is misleading ?
