Description

Paramount Pictures Corporation 1978

Everyone loves that very beginning sequence in Grease, when a bedraggled, hairy figure rolls out of bed and squirts a tube of brown gunk on his comb, which he then uses to sculpt his ragged curls into the iconic John Travolta pompadour. This much-loved little animation is by the English artist John D. Wilson, described by one blogger as having �animated the 1970s like R. Crumb illustrated the 1960s.�
And in between, the cultural time capsule. A telephone booth piled high with people, in the manner of the fad challenges of the day.

This is a piece of the history of animation and cinema. It�s an original cel done for the animation of the opening credits of the movie Grease.
This frame appears at 0:45 minute.

I am looking for other Grease pieces like these, if you have any for sale please contact me, thank you!

Signed by Wilson.
