I scored a original Python Anghelo watercolor painting from the 70's!

Have to say, like the work regardless of the name. Having it associated with him is pretty cool tho.

We are grateful that you snagged it so we could all see it.
Beautiful piece.

I had a bunch of Python art at one point, but not sure that I have any pieces left. I do have some Paul Ferris stuff for sure, but think I sold off all my Python stuff.

He was the best. Such an amazing person/artist/character.

I found a random (Marilyn) Taxi translite on LetGo for sale by a random old guy in the NW side of Chicago. I picked it up and chatted him up a bit and asked where he got it. He said he was drinking buddies with Python and he gifted him the translite randomly one day! The pinball history tied to Chicago is so strong, and these guys were buddies just in my backyard! It's framed hanging in my game room.

I met Python years ago at an Expo. He was selling some autographed prints. They were over my budget at the time, I very much regret not buying one. Congrats on a cool find.

Un-related, the "King Richards Faire" image, is the original name for what is nowadays known as the 'Bristol Renaissance Faire'.
And that image is foreshadowing Python's artwork for Jokerz!.

I met Python many years ago and we were very good friends! I have many pictures with he and I and in that video that you shared I'm the woman in the pic with him at his expo seminar next to the Bad Cats pinball. I helped him with a few of his seminars at Expo.
I don't have any pics handy of the things I have. They are for the most part pinball related. I have several pre production PF's that I got from him (Bad Cats, Jokers! and PinBot). My Marilyn Taxi translight was his pre production copy that he signed and sent to me for Christmas one year because he knew my game was missing the translight. I also have a print of his Bride pencil drawing signed and numbered that he gave me and a Joust poster from when it first came out that he signed gave to my husband and I (I usually have it mounted on my Joust pinball when I take it to shows). I have his signed Twin Galaxy trading card that he sent with another friend for me and the friend had it made into a plaque for me after Python passed.
He was a great friend and artist. I actually had the honor of being his guest at an art show he had at a gallery in Chicago during Expo week one year. I loved his use of nature in his art. He loved nature and pinball and I miss him very much!
That picture that you have is very special as it is probably one of his relatively early pieces. It is a very cool piece!

We've been going to the King Richard's Faire as long as I can remember. According to Wikipedia it's the same family as the original in WI, now in MA. I wonder if they still use any of the artwork, I'll have to keep an eye out of I take the kids next year.

Thanks for sharing!

Wow! I really love that

Wow, I like this watercolour more than most of his pinball-related artwork. Great score.
