Nope, it's not from the upcoming Vermont Monster Guide (coming from University Press of New England fall 2009) -- but it is from an earlier collaboration with author, folklorist and beloved friend Joseph A. Citro!
This is the rather delirious original art for the color portrait of the Pigman of Northfield I drew/painted for Joe Citro's Weird New England (2006), a volume in the popular Weird United States book series launched by the creators of Weird New Jersey magazine, Mark Moran and Mark Sceurman.
Publishers Barnes & Noble list the book here; check it out.(For more info, check out Joe's own website, here!)This Pigman portrait measures 10" x 10" on a 11 3/8" x 12 1/2" piece of clean white Bristol Board. It's a multi-media painting -- watercolor, Dr. Martin's Dyes, colored pencil, pen-and-ink, photo collage, oil pastels and correctional white -- and it's yours for $285 plus shipping ($7.30 Priority Mail anywhere in the US, more for foreign shipment) -- first to email me at [email protected] wanting to buy wins it.
