This would have been an easy Photoshop fix. I wonder why they just didn't do that?

No kidding, what a waste....

It looks like Topps Vault is planning on putting up a complete list of their art and production material auction sales. I wonder if they even have the man power to pull that off. I sure hope they do.

Perhaps they intend to relist it with a more accurate description stating that it was unpublished art from ANS7?

Then all they would have to do is modify the listing.

Gurgle · « **Reply #226 on:** January 22, 2011, 07:35:39 PM »

Maybe they are saving it for Series 8 and posted it erroneously.

This was approved for ANS7. But there was a big issue is with the spelling. "Tenticle" should have read "Tentacle". Wouldn't have been so bad if it had only appeared once, but it shows up in the title and on the cap several times. My fault completely. Mark Stepper did an amazing job on the concept (and actually spelled "Tentacle correctly!). My apologies go out to him for the gaffe! But I'm told Topps still wants to publish it in book format. It's going to be called, "Why Can't Wacky Artists Spel?"

I spotted a reference to Oct Tentacle Care in the text of the Octivia Wack-o-mercial:

Wow, great spot!! I read all the backs when the set came out, but without having seen the unpublished art, that was totally lost on me!

Plan 9 · « **Reply #229 on:** February 23, 2011, 11:50:56 PM »

Strenght? Seriously? STRENGHT?
Look, Wacky artists. Switch on your spell checks, read more books, do what you have to do and stop committing poor grammar to the Wacky legacy and your own. I have two misspelled Wacky paintings in my little collection alone. There's been a lot of them since 2004. These paintings are going to be around a lot longer than you. Who wants to be remembered as the artist who couldn't spell?

I know there has been a Ritz crackers parody done, but I've been wondering if one was done of these? I've loved them since I was a kid.

I tried to win my first ANS piece of art since series one last night. Didn't seem that pieces were selling over $800 so I bid $1200 as we have a newly created movie room and thought it would be cool to hang this piece in that room.....oh well....

Shame you missed out on that one. That would have been cool for a movie room.

I wish I could get this one, but I know it it will be out of my budget for Wacky art.

I dont like the lid on this. The attempt at 3D rendering is overkill as there is too much "hot" on the lid.

New Wacky Website

www.wackyartist.com
I finally got around to creating a site dedicated to my own personal Wacky art collection. At one time I was going to create a website about all Wacky art and artists. I don't have the time for such a project so I give you this instead. When you see the page of Wacky stickers click on the sticker to see a big scan of the original painting with a few detailed notes above the image.

Mine are Scary Garcia, Choppertone and Sweet n Slow. I love black backgrounds on the internet. Especially when photos are featured. Did you notice the wrapper background outside the black panel? You might have to stretch your window wider to see it.

Thanks. You may have noticed I had a change of heart about Frankenbury. I liked it more when I saw the sticker. Plus Edmiston's painting is the same size as the cereal box so I thought that was a really cool quality. If I ever find the damn cereal I'll add a picture of it next to the painting.

ratchet007 · « **Reply #241 on:** September 21, 2011, 11:33:29 AM »

Very nice effort, Mark. Thank You. I always appreciate being able to see the art at that magnification.

Pretty cool! Did you remove all the art from the frames? You obviously must have for such detailed scans but what a pain.

Only half the paintings were acquired through Toppsvault and only three of those arrived in frames.

Yeah, I did notice that!

But I didn't realize the painting was the same size as the box. Did you know that before you bought it? Frankenberry seems to be a cereal that's hard to find on the shelf so I was surprised (but happy) they wanted it for ANS8. It wasn't even submitted for ANS8 but for the postcards.
