Description
“The Mystery of Grace”, Studies – Ver. 1. Author: Charles DeLint, Publisher: TOR Books. This drawing includes a series of studies for the above novel. This first cover version so horrified the author that TOR Books had me create a kinder and less scary painting. That is why this is Version 1. The publisher did use this darker concept on their Advance Reading Copy (ARC) that was distributed to critics, bloggers and reviewers.
The figures in the drawing are malevolent operators of a giant “Day of the Dead” puppet. A crow takes flight from the puppet’s extended finger.
I am including a matted print of the ARC cover that does show it’s age. There is a slight bend toward the bottom left corner that can be easily flatten by cold dry mounting or pressing it flat inside a large book. I would not use heat because this print has, like all the drawings offered here, a spray fixative applied to prevent smudging.
The drawing is a “working drawing”. Some may have slight creases, studio grime, paint spatters and the occasional coffee stain. Preliminary drawings can be placed next to the painting or on a side easel. Artists refer to these drawings as they are working and developing the final painting.
This purchase includes the print and the drawing.
The print & drawing are not sized for these mats. A custom mat will have to be cut to fit the drawing and print’s dimensions. These mats are place holders. Actually the drawing is larger than the mat opening. See jpegs for comparison.
The drawing measures: 11.50 ”H X 7.75” W.
The print measures: 10.00” H X 8.50” W
Viewable area: 9.50”W X 7.50”H (MAT), Matted to a size of 14”H X 11”W, Pencil on sketchbook paper & Ink jet print on premium matte paper.
