Description

Johnny Craig - "Group Portrait" EC Horror Host Pencil Preliminary Illustration Original Art (1991). Johnny Craig is reknowned for his meticulous working habits. In the eighties and nineties, EC fan-addicts started commissioning Craig to paint new scenes of the EC horror hosts, especially the Vault Keeper and Drusilla. For his canvas, "Group Portrait," Craig drew a detailed pencil rendering of his composition on vellum, at the same size that the painting was planned to be. This large layout has all of the detail of the finished painting, and was Craig's final design step before putting the image on canvas as a painting. Craig's consummate craftsmanship really shines in this study, and it has an image area of 30" x 30". Aside from being rolled, and having a few stress creases, the art is in Very Good condition.
