Doug Sneyd Signed Original Art Nudes Gag Rough Prelim Sketch ~ Playboy Nov. 1984

Description

Item Details:
For this illustration, which measures 8 1/2 by 11 inches, Sneyd
rendered the drawing
in blue pencil on vellum and then taped the art to a sheet of regular paper as well as cropping pieces from other vellum drawings and pasting them together.  A very detailed example of Sneyd's work! It is a prelim to the piece that was ultimately used in the November 1984 issue of Playboy.  Also included in with the listing is a Xerox copy of the final version of the cartoon as it ultimately appeared in the magazine (please note that the magazine itself is not included in with the listing). The pair would look great if framed together.  In good condition overall (it is a prelim and therefor is not expected to be perfect), it will be shipped very securely via USPS Priority Mail.
