Next Monday I’ll be randomly surprising one of you lovely Patrons with a particularly special gift from me – special – my own artist color proof on canvas from Disney for my “Tightrope Girl!” I’ll make the announcement around 8PM EST on Monday, November 12 up here at Patreon, and will contact the lucky Patron directly to confirm their address, and mail her off!
Tightrope Girl is an earlier Disney piece of mine (from Disney’s Haunted Mansion) and is quite rare & hard to find now, so this is a treat =)
What’s a color proof? Basically when I do a painting for the Walt Disney Company, after the painting has been scanned in, etc. they mail me a “color proof” that their print department has printed onto on a sheet of canvas. This is for me personally to look at, to see if their printing inks are the right colors, etc. to match the original painting. It’s the first time I see a printed version of the painting, it comes on a sheet of canvas marked “color proof” and it is not a product that is sold in stores, it’s for my own personal internal use to check the colors. The printed image is 5″x12″ roughly cut from a larger sheet of canvas by the Disney printers measuring a few inches more than that. I have also autographed it in metallic ink on the front image just to make it more special =)
Since I cannot sell this piece (and neither can you, it is marked NFS Not For Re-Sale on the back) it is a very unique item. Rather than having her gather dust in my studio closet, I thought I would re-home her via Patreon as a unique Jasmine collectible and a piece of Disney art history to some lucky Patron out there! You could totally mat & frame her and she’d look just like one of the fancy canvas prints, very lovely =)
Thank you all so much for your support as always, I could not do what I do without you.
XOXO
Jasmine
