‘War Of The World’ Original Drawings To be Sold at an Auction

Posted on
War of the Worlds Drawing

An interesting speculation from HuffingtonPost about the expected high value of the ‘War of The World’ drawings dating back to the start of the century:

The originals of the illustrations, created by Brazilian artist Henrique Alvim Corrêa, are to be auctioned off in Beverly Hills, Calif. on May 14. But if you’re interested in bidding, get set for some sticker shock; the entire collection, which includes 31 pencil and ink drawings plus a vintage poster and a postcard from Wells to Corrêa, is expected to fetch a staggering $500,000, according to a spokesman for the auction house.

Posted on
FrazettaIndomitable

Its with great pleasure to announce two of our new licenses.

The licenses are Tarzan (and Jane) and Frank Frazetta in full majestic 1/4!

We have already Troy working on a Tarzan fighting a gigantic crocodile diorama. Ehren Biennert sculpting Frazetta’s Indomitable. Both will be ready in time for San Diego Con.

Also we will have Troy sculpting Frazetta’s Atlantis and Ehren sculpting Frazetta’s Queen of Egypt in time for New York Con in October.

Here are at least 4 of the sculpts from Frazetta that will be made by ARH Studios Inc. – unlike the last few sculpts from us, these will be true to the art and very accurate to the artwork.
