Due to popular request, Nakatomi and the Wrightson Estate are releasing a limited edition screen print of Bernie Wrightson’s most famous and sought after piece, “…And I Shall Be With You On Your Wedding Night.” As Nakatomi explained, this piece “is a stunning achievement in the field of illustration, and Nakatomi is proud to release this Screen Print to the public. Reproduced from a scan of the original art board, provided by film director, Frank Darabont.”
The full detail of Bernie’s linework is staggering in person – crisp, immaculate line-work, showing a master illustrator in his element. In December of 2019, Nakatomi published an “Artist Edition” of this image, which was a reproduction of the original art board. This screen print edition of the image is a representation of how the work appeared as published in the original book, but at the size of the original art board.
“…And I Shall Be With You On Your Wedding Night.” by Bernie Wrightson is a 20”x30” hand numbered screen print on French Paper Madero Beach. Each copy is hand embossed in the corner with Wrightson’s distinctive “W” and features a spot-varnish layer on the main figures. Limited to just 300 pieces, it will go on sale at 2pm CDT today, Thursday, June 4th, at store.nakatomiinc.com for $75.
As with all of Nakatomi’s Wrightson releases, the artist’s share of the proceeds will go to Bernie’s wife, Liz Wrightson.
