i hate to sound like a freaking dumb ass, but a print is....like a poster? haha, im just having a tough time conceptualizing what it is....just dont wanna throw down the 95 to get a tube with a rolled up poster in it of the painting, even though its sick...

 

[rudager]

Original painting on the canvas

 

[hendriab]

lol now your just messing with me...but seriously...

 

[rudager]

I am serious. From what I understand, it's a canvas painting. Not a poster

 

[rudager]

From the article, "The paining is oil on canvas and measures 36" X 24"."

 

[DrZoidberg]

Yeah it's an original. Not a reprint or anything like that. And I will have something done by pollard hanging on my wall at some point in my life.

 

[rudager]

Me too, but they'll be tasteful nudes

 

[Line_Skis]

the auction is for the original canvas painting..a print is a print, which you may call a poster.

 

[Bobbum~Man]

Does anybody know if there are prints out there of the painting from the auction? Currently not in the position to drop the $1,000+ to win the auction, but would absolutely love a print of this painting.

Pollard is genius artists. his skiing, his film making, his photography, and his painting. it's all so sick.

 

[hendriab]

lol, i was talking about the print...is there any way we can get a pic of what the print looks like...like someone holding it ahha, i know im thick as hell, my moms a smoker

 

[masterhatin]

yea he is a mastermind and fantastic painter, but whats with all the white on this years bacons and opus.thinking about painting my bacons myself, im not looking forward to searching for a white ski in the snow. and it will prevent theft!

 

[rudager]

You can get general sense of size by looking at the picture in the article. It's big

 

[mehregan15]

just picked up a print for my brother for christmas, kinda jealous and might get one for myself too haha

 

[DrZoidberg]

I think evo is/was selling prints.

and 20x30, which is pretty big. I had one of my photos printed at like 16x16 or something near that and I was surprised when I saw it. I thought it was going to be smaller/less impressive.

 

[emilyskis]

that man is a jack of all trades.

 

[mountainviper]

You could almost say he's a...."sir Francis bacon"?

 

[NOpoleon]

i have always loved his work...just like his skiing, his art is just as rad.

 

[grillguy44]

i thought Eric didnt do prints. i emailed him last year about his one of his Bonzais and he said he only had originals...

LineSkis: do you know if he has prints now?

 

[emilyskis]

gah...

 

[Line_Skis]

this is the first try. if it goes well, who knows!
