Description
Robert Crumb Whiteman Meets Bigfoot Unpublished Illustration Original Art (1977). In 1977, TV commercial director, musician, and Underground Comix fan Boyd Jacobson wrote a screenplay for a film he hoped to direct himself, based on R. Crumb's classic "Whiteman Meets Bigfoot" story, from the 1971 comic Home Grown Funnies. Jacobson persuaded Crumb to do a new set of drawings to illustrate the expanded screenplay (that, alas, never saw completion), and this sketch of Whiteman's first encounter with a male Sasquatch was part of the set of 17 that Crumb did. Heritage sold four of these sketches in our May, 2010 Signature Auction, which were all eagerly snapped up; here's a second chance to acquire some previously unseen artwork from a modern-day master. The art is ink and light graphite on vellum paper, with an image area of approximately 8.25" x 9.5". This piece is not signed, but was personally verified by Crumb as by his hand. This one has a lot of power in the startled expressions and dramatic shadowing, and is in Excellent condition. Wild and wacky!More information about Robert Crumb.
