Holt, MI
Hi Guys,
Now that the first day of Pinball at the Zoo 2014 is underway, I wanted to announce that I'll be putting my original artwork from the event T-shirts, Posters, and Flyers in the auction on Saturday.
I just finished personally double-matting and framing this myself. I'm REALLY proud of how this (both the artwork and the framing) all turned out. The final framed dimensions are 36"x28"
I even included a matted "tombstone" at the bottom with some artwork information:
As you can see above, it's the last print off the line in the limited-run of 50.
In the original artwork, you can see the blue pencil construction lines I made to kinda figure-out where all the characters were going to go and how they would look. I'll include a few close-ups here:
On the right side of the frame you have the beautifully screen-printed oversized poster. This is the same process used to print pinball playfields and plastic sets for many years. Here are a few zooms of the poster:
I have $100 in framing and materials alone, so that's the only reserve I'll put on it. We'll see where it goes from there.
If anyone is interested in bidding remotely, PM me and we'll try to figure out a way for you to participate.
Finally, thanks for all the interest in my artwork this year, guys. You've all made this a really gratifying experince. I'll be at the show on Friday and behind the front table signing autographs from 2-3pm. I hope to meet a few of you there. Aside from my 1 hour signing, I'll be playing as many games as I can that afternoon. I'll be the one with the 10-month-old child strapped to his chest. Please say hello! 
Take care,
