Description: ***Time to think about HOLIDAY GIFTS!***FREE SHIPPING ALL THIS MONTH*** Title: "SITTING DUCK" Artist: Michael Bedard Date of Painting & Print Run: 1982 Size of Litho Print: 5.5" x 7.5" Frame Size: approx. approx. 9" x 11" Print Status/Edition: This is the original mid-size print of that famous whimsical image from the early 80s that became an instant classic. It is the VERY RARE 1982 1st printing offset lithograph from Luna Art Publishing, Venice, CA. The image was created by the brilliant artist, cartoonist, and animator, Michael Bedard. It is offered in this auction mounted in a beautiful frame (includes glass & hanging clip) ready to display. This one rolled off the press 42 years ago, along side its larger big brother poster of the same image (printed on the same press sheet!). There were three size versions created in 1982 of "Sitting Duck" and this is the 5.5" x 7.5" print, considerably smaller than the large poster version. Because all of these early versions were printed from the original master film and plates and were all run on the same press sheets, this is the highest resolution and best rendition of Mr. Bedard's creation. This It is NOT one of the more recent cheap digital reprints.
