 Finally, these amazing hand-carved teak wood frames, produced by Sean Riley's studio over in Bali (he had a hand in procuring the craftsman to carve the original Princess Sputnik frame over there before deciding to up and move there to set up shop where he also produced all the amazing Tree Show frames), will see the light of day. I was really worried they had been produced for nothing, as they had finished production almost exactly a year ago. This print is nice and all. But I think I had hoped this impressive frame might've helped coax the return the missing Porterhouse canvas Giclee. |

I've always loved Tree of Mystery, but I can't swing $4k for it. The print and presentation look absolutely superb though!

is anyone esle super disapointed they just printed some inkjet prints as opposed to crafting a nice etching or silkscreen. Seems fairly lazy for such a perfectionist artist.

Seems fairly lazy for such a perfectionist artist. +1...unfortunately, I think these print runs are all about money these days. Let's not forget that we get these hand made frames from a few years ago, and maybe they had to be shipped from Thailand too. So when you run the numbers, at 4k a pop and 160k gross, I guess there is only room for the press of a button on the old inkjet. Sad to say, I am sure they will sell out or at least appear to be sold out after all the galleries put their respective orders in. |

It would seem Ryden might have worked with Tim Burton on the upcoming Alice in Wonderland movie. Can't find his name in the credits though? Excerpt from LA Weeklyblogs.laweekly.com/style_council/fashion/alice-in-wonderland-fashion-co/The concept art for the world of Wonderland is just spectacular. It owes a lot to Mark Ryden. It's his jewel-toned, cool pastel, chiaroscuro color palette to a tee. Innocent with a hint of darkness, and a soupcon of psycho. |

Can you confirm that he was a concept artist on the film
I hate to burst your bubble, . . .but there were other artists before Mark Ryden.
Unless he worked on the film, the production designers don't owe anything to Ryden, . . .there are very talented, creative people who work on such films, . . .

There is no bubble to burst but thanks  I was scanning for info on Tim Burton's "Alice in Wonderland" and came across the excerpt from LA Weekly below. Id find it odd they mention Ryden without his involvement in some way but who knows. Iv gone thru the credits but it does not list Ryden. blogs.laweekly.com/style_council/fashion/alice-in-wonderland-fashion-co/LA Weekly ExcerptThe concept art for the world of Wonderland is just spectacular. It owes a lot to Mark Ryden. It's his jewel-toned, cool pastel, chiaroscuro color palette to a tee. Innocent with a hint of darkness, and a soupcon of psycho. Just sharing some info I found online. |

I thought you were saying that  sorry for my confusion If it is the LA Weekly writer, then they need to get somebody over there whose history of art and popular culture goes back further than 1990. I don't recall hearing Mark Ryden connected to such a project. |

anybody get the print?  I don't understand why Mark would even consider putting out an edition of that masterpiece at the drawing stage when he could've done a framed giclee on canvas of the completed painting like the old days. I would have been first in line! I'm very disappointed  Can you imagine it?  What a waste IMO... jIm i have been told by some sellers that he stopped doing those glicee on canvas peices because they looked too much like the original. The ebay seller told me that he said this in a interview once. could be a marketing ploy by the seller, but i am not too sure. |

That piece is absolutely incredible. That's among my favorites he has ever done.

It seems to me that it's over a period of three days. It seems like the background went rather quickly, then the waif, and then of course meat skirt. There really is no way to tell how long each of these took but if you look at his hair, there seem to be three different degrees of disheveledness (according to my spell check, this isn't a word, but I'm standing by it).The second one could be a progression of the first but the third one is definitely a new day. Whether this took three days or three weeks I think it's safe to say that his hourly earning power is quite high.

it also appears as though the painting changes pretty drastically within the last few frames of the video as it is touched up and finalized and it doesn't seem like that process is included in the timelapse. really a very cool video.
