Yeah, I drank from Chris Sanders' cool-aid pitcher a long time ago...long before How to Train Your Dragon and even long before Lilo & Stitch. A couple of years ago Chris started drawing a Halloween themed piece called "Party Witches" that
I kinda glommed onto. The final version came out around Halloween of 2010 and ran as a 12x21 limited / signed print that was only available at major comic cons...I think they sold for around $100. In come the con trolls to gobble them up, put'em on eBay, and then jack the prices to $175 and up...which I sure as hell wasn't willing to shell out.
Oh, what a difference a coupla Halloweens make. Chris only offered up 20 of them
on his website yesterday...and at the mind-bogglingly low price of $20. Sorry, I don't wanna sound like I'm gloating or anything (pfft, yes I do!), but I got the next to the last one.
I'll have it in my grubby little mitts by the end of the week.
I fucking adore Chris Sanders. Such a unique and beautiful style.
ReplyDeleteYeah, started seeing the occassional sketch of his around the time Fantasia 2000 was coming out. Really started diggin' his style when he was doing Lilo and Stitch...a very un-Disney style.
DeleteStill can't believe I got this thing for a measly $20: http://phillipthe2.blogspot.com/2012/10/going-postal.html
