I infact bid on one then retracted when I looked at the larger pictures that were up. One thing that really struck me was the ink bleed, which would be noticable on the posters. There was an Alice lobby card up, minus Alice and funny enough I have a print of the image for sale, when comparing the offered piece to the actual image I found the drawing was poor and linework nowhere near as sharp as my print. It was supposedly done by Ub, and I pointed out that Ub was known for both his inking and especially lettering skills none of which was evident. Another give away was the sizes of the artwork which were all around 8x10 or a bit bigger, posters were done on a larger scale I'm sure for quality reproduction. The final thing I noticed was the way the ink bled on the reverse, it looked more like a modern marker than ink work.Mark Sonntaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17557982606223632494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3253417957634046346.post-673837484693535562012-03-07T09:50:49.279-05:002012-03-07T09:50:49.279-05:00Fantastic post!
