This piece is pretty fantastic and glad you were able to hold onto it at least. So sorry to hear, hope you are getting a resolution for the stolen artwork!

The art here is from the catalogue. I don't have the ink work.

Great artists on this page - Is the Freddy's Cat also original?

Posted on 4/17/2025

I don't recall seeing Gilbert Shelton at the convention but it is highly likely he was there to contribute to the jam page, so, yes, the Fat Freddy's Cat was an original drawing. As explained below, this is one of twelve plates that made up a UKCAC ’86 portfolio that was organised with con guest attendees and also sold over that weekend to benefit famine relief in Africa. In my opinion this is one of the three best plates. The other two being the Frank Miller solo effort of a cartoony The Dark Knight, and the John Bolton/Brian Bolland jam page which I have just uploaded as an additional picture on my Brian Bolland/Red Hood page. I think all the pages were auctioned off for charity in the last event of the con. I did not bid on or win any of these portfolio plates, or even remember how much each one sold for.

Did Barry and Dave do drawings at same time?

Posted on 4/17/2025

This is actually a plate from the UKCAC 1986 portfolio which was made up of twelve A4-size pieces of paper. I think sheets of paper were passed around and (apart from the Frank Miller contribution) two or more artists jammed on a page over the weekend and the results were published in time for the portfolio, housed in a plain brown A4-size envelope, to be sold on the Sunday in aid of famine relief in Africa. So, yes, Gilbert, Barry and Dave did the drawings, I would guess, around about the same time that weekend of the con.
