Item Description
See previous lot #1521 for Gahan Wilson biography. Offered here is 8x8.5" sheet w/attached vellum overlay. Sheet features intricate pen and ink original art that has been watercolored. Art was commissioned by a Des Moines, IA advertising firm for Applied Communications Inc. (AOC, out of Omaha, NE), c. 1985 and this and the previous two lots were published in a brochure for financial advertising. Wilson's distinct style is on display in this piece, which shows man having nightmare involving men covered in spiderwebs, locked in iron cage (a clever nod to previous item #1522) and covered in suspenders (another clever nod to previous item #1521). Center left has been boldly signed in black ink by Wilson. Exc. Art comes from the art director in charge of this 1980s campaign, who saved the art.
