I bought it as a buy it now from that seller a while back, but he said it was a mistake and refunded my money. I heed the crowd and stand corrected!

artcollector9 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I'm not feeling any love for this one... signature is off... the art isn't confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_K Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Doesn't seem Wrightsonian to me. artcollector9 and exitmusicblue 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheekyj2112 Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 I’m with Rob. Signature definitely seems a bit off. And I’m not a real Wrightson guy but the pencils look darker and more deliberate than I was expecting. Cheers J artcollector9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkininkin Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 Fake. Tentative linework. Signature off and carefully deliberate in execution. Stay far away from this one. Twanj, alexgross.com, Catwoman_Fan and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
INKREDIBLE BULK Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Maybe a fanboy recreation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cimmerians Purse Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 If that's a Wrightson... I'll eat Swedish Pee Shark with a smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cimmerians Purse Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 That's not his signature, and... and he was loose as a goose back in 77... which that drawing is not. that was drawn nervously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artboy99 Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 horrible drawing, definitely not Wrightson. Wrightson art tends to be sketchy with chosen lines darkened and varying line weights throughout. The drawing on Ebay is clearly a light table tracing with the line weight all the same weight. Just awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinkininkin Posted June 21, 2020 Share Posted June 21, 2020 So I guess this sold for over $800. Buyer got completely ripped off. That said, I will never understand purchases like this. Even if it WAS real (and it's not) it looks like total garbage. Why would anyone spend $800 on garbage? Twanj 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have a piece from a specific artist for an amount they could afford, i.e., it's not always about the image. Still, it is not attractive to me and is that a smile on ST's face?

AndyFish Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Well I'm late to the party but I've seen a lot of Wrightson's pencils and this is nowhere near right-- there is a lack of confidence to both the lifework and the signature-- do YOU ever struggle to sign your own name? This looks completely off to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
