THE DEUCE YOU SAY: HARLEY DAVIDSON
MEDIUM: Limited Edition Cel
SIZE: 24.5" x 15.5"
EDITION SIZE: 500
SKU: WB1152
ABOUT THE IMAGE: This is a limited edition cel issued in 2000 that was created exclusively for the Warner Brothers Studio Store Gallery. The image began with an original drawing by artist Kirk Mueller, of the irrepressible Wile E. Coyote and the rather surprised Road Runner, in a rare moment of ironic joy for the Wile E Coyote.
ABOUT THE MEDIUM: A master ink line of this drawing was made by Laurie Dindis, which was then silk screened onto an acetate sheet (or “cel”), along with the Warner Bros. seal of authenticity. Each cel was expertly hand painted on the reverse side, with a delicate “dry-brush” technique on the face of the cel to capture the blur of the Road Runner’s legs. A photograph of the Harley-Davidson FXSTD Softail Deuce motorcycle was combined with artist Hector Martinez’ custom painted cartoon desert background. This composite background image was reproduced utilizing a fine art lithograph process on acid-free, archival paper stock. In the final step of production, the limited-edition number was inked on each cel and each cel in the edition comes with a cloisonné Harley-Davidson medallion.

ABOUT:
Tom Everhart is a celebrated American painter whose work uniquely bridges the worlds of fine art and popular culture through his exclusive use of Charles Schulz’s Peanuts characters. Initially trained at Yale School of Art and later mentored by Schulz himself, Everhart transitioned from traditional illustration and architectural rendering to a bold, expressive painting style after a life-altering battle with cancer in the late 1980s.
"The "Posing" series did grow out of the previous "Hide and Seek" series that focused on the questions of one's attempt to hide their intellectual honesty in order to seek out a newly designed image... a "Poser" tsunami of posturing between who was being real, and who was obviously pretending to be real, often with the intent to deceive, could no longer be ignored." - Tom Everhart
