The next release in Nakatomi’s ongoing Bernie Wrightson Artist Edition Print Series dropped yesterday and it is the hauntingly beautiful “Despondence”. This image is from Wrightson’s masterwork – his illustrated adaptation of Shelley’s Frankenstein! Reproduced from a scan of the original art board, provided by film director Frank Darabont, this is the closest anyone can come to owning the original piece.
“Despondence” by Bernie Wrightson is a 12”x18” hand numbered fine art giclee embossed in the bottom corner with Bernie’s distinctive “W”. Although the original art board was drawn at 11”x16”, Nakatomi has given extra bleed on the sides of the piece to make this suitable for standard framing. Limited to 300 pieces, this Frankenstein print can be purchased now at store.nakatomiinc.com/berniewrightsonsfrankenstein.aspx for just $50. As always, the artist’s share of the proceeds from the sale of this print will go to Liz Wrightson.
