Wizard of Oz by Jeremy Bastian

Beautiful!

Actually, this was a prearranged drawing, so was not actually a "con sketch".  I picked it up from Jeremy at the convention, but it wasn't drawn there.  And it most certainly is a lovely drawing, with rich details. 

I don't think we could have traded two more opposite drawings!   Thanks George.

My guess is our normal trades are quite a bit different than the norm on CAF!  This one a probable 1917-1921 editorial cartoon for a 2012 commission (thpugh it is documented o nthe peice as a con sketch!) is actually thinking about it not an uncommon trade between us. The last one if my aging meemory was corect was a 1920 illustration for a 1960's illustration by an aeditorial cartoonist! Which is why it is fun ot trade with you.

Bastian is always great!

Wonderful. Between us we are bleeding down Rob's Bastian collection. :)

If I only had a Bastian.....

Beautiful piece!!! I love Bastian's work...

Love Bastian's art.  Classical back to Dore and up.   The line work and interpretation are excellent. 

He grew up a few blcoks from where I now live and currently I think lives about 6 miles away-have yet to meet him- his art is amazing

This is a keeper. Can I keep it for you?

Simply astounding. Every decision and line is as if sprung directly from a godhead.
