If you take it out of the frame, you will be able to tell immediately. if smooth, it's a print. if rough and bumpy, that's a crayon surface and it's original. Let me know!<br />Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-26910625502332137442016-07-17T08:52:35.960-07:002016-07-17T08:52:35.960-07:00I purchased a framed Foggy Liftoff at an auction. ...I purchased a framed Foggy Liftoff at an auction. I have always believed it to be an original art piece, but now thinking it might be a print since I see it pictured here on this site. Any ideas? I would have to take it out of the frame to tell for sure. Is it possible it is original? Were his works distributed as prints?

I wish I had more images to display as I believe Marion painted scores of paintings with crayon.Doc V.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06815470072568462626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7355407830694029222.post-59990034318842713882013-01-31T19:09:41.595-08:002013-01-31T19:09:41.595-08:00Wow!

I don't know of any other crayon artists but I'd certainly call Marion one of the greatest for sure. (I always hesitate for using "world's greatest" because there could always be some bloke on a south sea island somewhere who's better but no one will ever know about.) Amazing, creative and visually vibrant technique.<br /><br />I actually bought a box of crayons at a garage sale for a dime, figuring I could use them for "something", and this has definitely given me some ideas, inspiration and motivation. <br /><br />Thank you! (And thanks to Mr. Sitton, R.I.P. I hope he and Gene Colan are having fun talking about art and their Atlas days.)<br /><br />Best,<br />Mike PascaleMike Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18266931967861188301noreply@blogger.com
