Description: I am listing a few special items from a private estate, some will be "buy it now" and others will be auction-type, running for a week . . . all are selected from my existing inventory at special sale prices in, and have never been offered on eBay before. ORIGINAL ART - MAGAZINE ILLUSTRATION"SIR RICHARD'S ROBOTS"ARTIST: JACK GAUGHANThis is an original artwork by Richard Powers - the cover painting created for the novel by Kenneth Morris, published by Tor Books, 1992 (I show you the cover for reference). It's an amazing image which - at some point between 1992 and its current location as part of the Hartwell Collection, someone (!) folded the artwork into quarters. This can be seen on the back of the thin board, and to at least some degree on the front of the painting. Which is why I have discounted the price - it's an opportunity for some lucky collector! The painted area is 23.5" x 17.75" on board 26.5" x 20" and the actual painted "Dragon" is 8" x 3" (it's size was clearly distorted for use on the cover!) BUT for that reason - and as unconventional a suggestion as this might be - a buyer *could* (without loss of anything significant as far as the artwork is concerned) crop the entire painting down to its essence, in the process creating a very handsome painting in good condition now sized (let's say) 16" x 11". If the idea of owning a published Powers cover at a very appealing price interests you - and you don't mind the suggestion of cropping - this would definitely be the purchase for you!! Get a bargain for Christmas! NOTE: No rights of reproduction accompany the sale. Overseas buyers: there are some locations to which I prefer not to ship; if you want me to consider an exception for you, please message me through eBay. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact me before bidding.
