Bob's ART du Jour

Hi, I'm Bob Eggleton and this is my painting and "life in general blog" but mostly paintings. Usually they're for sale. Anyway, if you like something contact me at zillabob@cox.net and ENJOY!!

My Photo
Name:
Location: New England, United States

I am a Hugo award-winning fantasy/SF artist who works on both publishing projects and film concept work(such as Jimmy Neutron and most recently, The Ant Bully) but I have a passion for landscape work, small paintings and exploring the properties of paint. This blog will mostly showcase my "painting-for-the-day" as kind of a personal voyage. I'll also be inserting sketches,photos and ideas of projects I am working on, that I can, when I can, so look for those every so often(usually as paint is drying!)

These are special prices on some of my really old stuff, mostly. Things that need homes to be enjoyed so there is something here for everyone's taste and price!!!

THINGS TO KNOW: Buyer pays all shipping. I usually use USPS for smaller items, but Fed Ex for larger ones as the USPS has recently reduced sizes of shipped items, and Fed Ex is more reliable and trackable with them. Fed Ex overseas can cost a bit too. 

I WILL BE "OUT OF TOWN" from March 19th to April 14th. So, while I will have internet access anything after the 19th of March will have to wait til I get back to ship out. 

I take PAYPAL and checks(which take longer to clear).

If you see anything you like, contact me at zillabob@cox.net. Things go fast my last sale was 75% successful and I had over 24 images!!!!  THANKS!!!!

MAGIC PROOFS/SKETCH CARDS....







Back in 1995-1997 I did MAGIC THE GATHERING cards. They sent me alot of "proofs" which, I stored away and forgot about, until I started getting requests for sketch cards on the backs of the proofs. SO, here they are!!

Here is what I offer: Cards w/ sketch and signatures- Swamps(the middle three) $10 each.
                                Alterations with acrylic paint, on the fronts, add $5

                                The Gilded Drake(first lot, lower left) Lichenthrope(top left) Thundermare(middle),    Alabaster Dragon(lower set),Great Whale(first set lower right) $25 w/ sketch and sig, $5 w/ alteration on
                                 front in paint(recoloring, etc) add $5.

                                 All the rest: $20 for sig and sketch, plus $5 for alteration on front if desired.

 Please include $1. to $3.50 postage and handling and insurance(contact me about that). My email is zillabob@cox.net. I have limited numbers of all the cards, alot of the swamps. So it is first come and first served, I will verify what I have and if I don't have it please feel free to choose an alternate.

MY TARZAN!!



Last year, I was asked to illustrate MBI/Easton Press Centennial Edition of  TARZAN OF THE APES. This is a gorgeous book, lavishly printed and bound. It also has eight color plates and numerous b/w chapter headers and I signed 800 copies. A dream job.  It is just out now, via MBI/Easton Press....
