Freebie Giveaway prints!

WELL- our last freebie portrait print set wrapped up with the most recent Tube Sale, and so we’re moving on to SOMETHING NEW! Something who? Oh- SOMETHING WHO.

These two prints are the first in what we hope will be an 11 (or is it 12? SPOILERS.) set of portraits that we’re giving away for free with orders! 

Each 2-color hand-printed image measures 9×24, and is signed and numbered by Doyle in editions of 150 each. There will also be a Silver Metallic Variant edition of only 20 of each, which will also be randomly inserted in orders. You MUST order a poster on the site to get one- we can’t put these in bags w/ shirts, or envelopes with stickers!

The next 300 orders on the site will get ONE of these prints- we’ll tweet and update this page when they’re gone.

What should you pick up to get one of these? Well, there is a BIG awesome Bernie Wrightson print release happening in about 14 hoursfrom this blog post’s writing…

Doctor Who and the Daleks!

Tim Doyle’s Doctor Who print for the Studio Canal Doctor Who movie from the 60′s is now an official DVD/ Blu-Ray cover! How crazy is that?!?

These should be available shortly- no word on if there’s an all-region release, or if it’s UK only, but we’ll keep you posted!

If you live in the UK and still need a copy of the original print, Under The Floorboards will have ‘em at their conventions this Summer- you can see their schedule HERE. 

We also have a TINY TINY bit of AP’s here, so if you’re interested, just give us an email through the contact form!

Here’s a special behind the scenes look into how this print / image was made!

When I first got the gig, I was a fan of the Doctor, but hadn’t seen this film in about 20 years or so- luckily, the older non-restored version was still available on Amazon, so I gave it a spin! My good friend, and Doctor Who expert, Paul Hanley had a model of the particular Daleks as seen in this movie, so he was able to lend it to me so I could shoot my own reference!  Next I made a collage of how I wanted everything arranged, so I could send it to the client and make sure they were happy with the direction I had chosen-

The Daleks were shot from the model, and the rest of the elements were from either screen-grabs from the DVD, or google-image search.  This was approved, but I still needed a solid reference for Peter Cushing as the doctor, standing tall (ish) as I couldn’t find one in the film that fit the bill. I wanted to make sure I got his build right- even as an outline, I needed to make sure it still ‘read’ as Cushing.  Off to Google again!

Strangely, the best image I could find was a drawing by Paul Hanley- my friend who loaned me the Dalek model to begin with!  Crazy.  Paul’s a killer artist who’s done a ton of Who work- You should totally check out his Deviant Art page HERE.  Not only is Paul responsible for my new-found Who obsession, but he was a big help with this print!

So, from that collage, I created this hand-drawn line-art image-

(If you’re interested in the Original Art, it is currently available in my eBay store- just scroll down)

Which was then scanned in and colored and separated in Photoshop for printing, and then printed in my shop- so we arrive at THIS-

Pretty neat, huh?

Thanks to Under the Floorboards for the gig, and thanks to Studio Canal for thinking the image was neat enough for a DVD!

Oh my goodness! Someone made a LEGO version of my Doctor Who print!

This comes from Connor Hayward-

“The entire image is made out of LEGOS except for the sky, took a bit to find all of those little buggers too! The sky is just me improvising and using a portion of wrapping paper!”

You can see his other LEGO creations (including more Doctor Who stuff) in his FLICKR STREAM HERE.
