Hi Art Lovers -
Looking to part with this beauty for sale or trade for something else nice - if you are interested PM me and we can chat.
This is TWO great pieces of art by the internationally loved (and nationally loved) artist Sean Phillips.
It's the original painted cover of the JD Megazine Volume 2 issue 9 (1992). It is in oils or acrylics by the look of it, and has been varnished by Sean.
This cover was the second cover featuring Devlin, from his first series, and is the first appearance of Devlin as a Vampire. It looks a lot more impressive in the flesh than it was printed (and my crap camera photos do not do it justice). The main piece is painted on board approx 15" x 22" (38cm x 56 cm) (HUGE).
Detail Scan so that you can see the brushwork.
ALSO INCLUDED is the printed version. This was edited for the Meg cover by Sean to have a more Dave McKean-esque feeling. And he did this by copying the cover, putting it onto board and adding the leaves, additional effects and lots of gold leaf to the page. This was to set out where the Megazine title would go.
This is a frame worthy piece in itself! It is approx 16" x 20" (40.2 cm x 50.8 cm) size (HUGE).
Photo of them side by side:
Here is the cover as printed-
I would like them both to stay together as I don't usually like like breaking things up.
