VAGABONDS: THE PENCIL CARTOUCHE AND ORIGINAL DRAWINGS 2081 2018

CRUSIN’ IN THE LIZZY MOBILE.

This set includes Number 1 of the new Lizzy Mobile Cartouche Print and the three preparatory sketches I drew to create it. You have a unique opportunity to own a print and the artwork from which it is derived.

When my friend, Thin Lizzy frontman Philip Lynott, asked me to design and produce the artwork for the cover of his new album he stressed he wanted several little items included; little spider for himself, other hidden stuff for Brian and Eric but the most important addition for Philip was the Lizzymobile. It had to be on the cover and so it was and Philip loved the finished cover big time. Fine album too with some of my all-time favourite Lizzy tracks on it.

I always wanted to do a much larger stand-alone drawing of this funny little motif featured on the cover of Vagabonds so here we have it as a pencil cartouche. Yep, the Lizzymobile comes alive once more.

SPECIAL ONE-OFF OFFER.
The Vagabonds limited edition print Number One with hand-drawn pencil cartouche -and all four preparatory drawing included.

In the course of preparing this cartouche for the Vagabonds Lizzymobile special limited edition print, I produced a number of drawings.
I have decided it would be cool to make them available to Lizzy fans by adding them to the Number 01/25 of this edition and to offer these at a decent and low price -with the No1 Print -to get them into the right hands.
There are four drawings included in this special offer:
1: The first is a simple blue pencil sketch on tracing paper with an extra piece added. This is just me thinking out loud and getting a rough notion in my head on to paper.
2+3: A more developed drawing in 2B pencil on drafting film taped onto an earlier blue pencil trace underneath for guidance.
4: The final drawing is now ready and this will be used as an exact reference for the actual hand-drawn cartouche on the heavy rag paper I’m using for this print. Beautiful to draw on too, takes pencil perfectly.
Good luck to the lucky collector.
