Ok, you guys have to check this out. I'm so excited!

Take a look at what just arrived in the mail, courtesy of our own supremely talented Ryan Heshka:

 

 

 

 

The pictures don't do it justice. Beautiful, wonderful, larger than life (20"x14") cover recreation, in acrylic. Ready for framing and display as the centerpiece in what will one day be a super cool comic room.

 

I'm really hesitant to even post it, as it's not totally framed and perfectly photographed, and I want to do it justice. The colors are even brighter than in the pictures I've taken. But quite honestly, I just had to share it right now.

 

Thanks Ryan!!!

 

For comparison, here's the scan of the original cover. Notice all the additional details Ryan added. Shadows and bats and tree limbs and Grundy's hands and moon and mist.....It's simply fantastic.

 

 

"Supremely talented" doesn't do that work justice, wow. Has it been pressed?

Incredible work by Ryan, and a great collection piece for Win. There's no room for improvement, this piece is just fantastic.

Nice painting, but next time keep the Pointer Sisters lyrics to yourself. I've had that damn song in my head all day.

Win, I am glad you are so pleased with the results that it is "post worthy"!!

 

(Win is the perfect "patron of the arts"... assigns a great commission, steps back, and is 100% pleased with the results... )

 

I am attaching a scan i took prior to shipping ... this was pre-varnishing, so its glare-free.

 

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.

 

I am looking forward to seeing this framed one day, and maybe having a visit to the comic room when its completed!

 

 

Stellar! Just stellar!!

 

fabulous work Ryan!

 

And congrats Win! You have every right to be thrilled!
