UP FOR SALE IS A HAND DRAWN ONE OF A KIND FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLFMAN 1943 MOVIE POSTER STARRING BETTY COOPER OF ARCHIE COMICS ORIGINAL COMIC ART COLOR SKETCH ON 8 1/2” X 11” CARD STOCK BY COMIC BOOK ARTIST JAMES CHEN WHO DID ARTWORK FOR FIST OF THE DRAGON # 1,2,3 & 4 AND LADY DRAGON # 0. THE ARTWORK IS SIGNED BY THE ARTIST. THIS IS NOT A PRINT. THIS IS AN UNPUBLISHED MOVIE POSTER ORIGINAL HAND DRAWN ART. THE PHOTO COLORS MAY BE LIGHTER OR DARKER THAN THE ACTUAL ART. JAMES CHEN IS AS FAR AS I KNOW CURRENTLY THE ONLY ARTIST DOING COMIC COVER RECREATIONS ON 8 1/2” X 11” CARD STOCK. HE HAS BEEN DOING THEM FOR THE PAST 12 YEARS. MOST OTHER ARTISTS DO COVER RECREATIONS ON 11 X 17” CARD STOCK BECAUSE THIS IS THE SIZE THE COMIC INDUSTRY USES FOR ACTUAL COMIC PRODUCTION ART TO DO ART BIGGER TO GET IN ALL THE MINUTE DETAILS AND SHRINKS THE IMAGE TO THE SMALLER COMIC SIZE. BUT IT IS ACTUALLY A LOT HARDER TO DO COVER RECREATIONS IN THE 8 1/2” X 11” CARD STOCK BECAUSE IT IS MUCH HARDER TO DRAW THE TINY DETAILS IN HALF THE PAPER SIZE. COVER RECREATIONS IN THE 8 1/2” X 11” CARD STOCK SIZE IS MUCH BETTER ALSO BECAUSE IT IS CLOSER TO THE ACTUAL SIZE OF A ACTUAL COMIC BOOK COVER. COLOR COVER RECREATIONS TAKE AROUND 12 HOURS TO DO. MY HOPE IS THESE COVER RECREATIONS WILL BRIDGE THE GAP BETWEEN FINE ART AND POP ART AND COMIC ART THE WAY ARTISTS ROY LICHTENSTEIN AND ANDY WARHOL DID WITH THEIR COMIC ART IN THE 1960’S AND THAT EVENTUALLY THESE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF COVER RECREATIONS DONE BY JAMES CHEN WILL BE IN MUSEUMS DEFINING POP ART AND COMIC ART FOR THIS GENERATION. MY HOPE IS WHEN PEOPLE REALIZE HOW GREAT THESE COLOR COVER RECREATIONS THAT TAKE 12 HOURS LONG TO DO AND HOW GREAT THESE BLACK INK COVER RECREATIONS THAT TAKE 5 HOURS TO DO ARE THESE ARTS WILL ONE DAY BE IN A MUSEUM LIKE THE WORK OF ANDY WARHOL AND ROY LICHTENSTEIN AND LIKE THE ARTWORK OF JAMES CHEN’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’S ART IN A 12 MONTH PERIOD. SO ONCE JAMES CHEN IS DISCOVERED HIS ARTWORK MAY SKY ROCKET IN VALUE.
