Garbage Pail Kids ART:
pencils and color roughs

Pencil art

The main pencil lines have been traced over in ballpoint pen, when the artist transferred the image to bristol board for painting.

They are one of a kind, subject to availability, and signed by the artist. Includes Certificate of Authenticity. Others not shown here are also available.

Pencil artworks range from $150. and up.

HORSEY HENRY /
GALLOPING GLEN

(series 3, 1986)
color rough: 650.

Rough is painted on tracing paper glued onto plain paper. The plain paper (outside scanned area) is quite puckered on top, bottom, and right margins. It is also puckered on the back, behind the art, although the tracing paper itself is tight, and hardly puckered at all, except near edges.
Also has a couple small brown smears in lower right and bottom margins, outside scanned area.

Pale brown spot in lower left margin (outside scanned area). Tape was peeled from top edge of paper, leaving thin torn area, about 1/2" x 1/2" (outside scanned area).

*I did a final painting of this GPK, but it was not published. As a training exercise, Topps had another artist do a second version, which was the one they published. Arm pose and background color were changed.

MELTIN' MILTON /
LAZY LOUIE

Also, at center-top margin, a piece of tape was removed, so paper is thinner, and white, compared to all surrounding top margin, which is light gray with copy toner.

Paint smears extend onto left and bottom margins beyond area of scan. Puckering is more noticeable on bottom margin than shown in scan. Tape was removed at top edge (outside scanned area) leaving a small area (1/2" wide by 1/4" high) with brighter white paper fibers than surrounding area.
