Shellback selling cover to v1 issue 1 4th printing
A seminal piece that was hanging in the upstairs gallery at Shellback Artworks over the years is being sold on their facebook. It has reproduced inks by Eastman/Laird, with original colors by Laird. They're taking offers over $1500 via email, silent auction style. More info: https://www.facebook.com/ShellbackAr...56811647734051

I don't consider it the "cover" since it's just the colored copy of the Inks.....I know i have seen the "other"cover out there as well with the real inks.....which is colored as well
Someone else might be able to shed more light on it, I am just going on memory as I was confused when I saw it at Shellback as I thought it was owned by someone else

It’s tough but if I had to pick a favorite cover I can probably put this somewhere in my top 5. I love Eastman’s old work. It’s so smooth and clean compared to his new stuff. That inked version is just drool worthy

Congrats to whoever won this. I consider it the original cover, but only in part. Both the inked and painted pieces make the cover we see in print. I still would like to see a pic of the colored inks if it exists. I couldn't find one in a google search. But upon closer inspection, this colored piece looks pretty much exact to the printed cover (albeit faded). All of the little paint stroke details are there, and the shimmers match.
Apparently sometimes, if they didn't want to risk ruining the original inks, Eastman and Laird would use copies to paint on. I wonder how many covers were done this way? |
