Description"Friends" ** Dennis Mukai ** 1987Original Prismacolor on heavy cardstock white Paper. This RARE drawing is different for Mukai, who typically did portraits of women in this style during this period. But this beautifully detailed marker illustration is of two best friends that happen to be Janet Jones Gretsky (Wayne's future wife!) and her bestie Linda Buchanan. I just fell in love with the drawing when it was offered to me. Dennis titled it "Friends" 18" x 24" paper. Signed Mukai 1987 lower right. Original MIRAGE EDITIONS curvetailed seamless frame with Acid Free Rag board and Matte DM 964 (Same presentation as Nagel originals). Frame was in near perfect condition and I wouldn't change it! I prefer to keep this one unless Janet or Linda have to have it or I get a crazy offer. Anyone friends with them now? I wanted to share. These are so much better in person! So colorful and bright white paper. Please see my other Dennis Mukai I do have available and I have a few PENCIL drawings for Nagel available today I will post soon or reach out to me! One of Nagel's last pencil just sold over 13k at Heritage. I have better ones for less! If you are looking for Patrick Nagel, Dennis Mukai, Steve Leal and more from this period, I am your go to. I run PatrickNagelArts on Instagram as well. I am the largest private seller in the world for Nagel. (canvas, drawings and more) Check out my for sale galleries! Social/Sharing |

Another great one in the 80's high fashion aesthetic of Mukai! Fresh and idealized faces femininty with the contemporary looks that are posed right out of a magazine shoot.

Thank you! Honestly, they are all like this now. I visited Mukai in studio and in flat file totally protected they are all the same. I am sure the Prismamarkers in the 80's are not as bright and long lasting as the ones today. He did several drawings, sold them in galleries (which this one was at Mirage), but ultimately for the most part they are equivelent to final studies for him. Many he turned into canvases. :-)
