For twenty-some-odd years, my amigo-partner Sergio Aragonés has drawn his silly pictures in a studio that is a glorious clutter of art, toys, pinball machines, dead bodies and outright miscellany. He will soon be closing it down as part of a plan to move into new facilities. Recently, a fine photographer-friend, David Baker, photographed Sergio in his soon-to-be-vacated natural surroundings. Dave is a true artist of the camera, as you can see if you visit his website. He has taken many of the photos he shot of Sergio in that studio and made them into a photo "mosaic" of Sergio's face.
Only 200 copies have been produced of this limited edition print, signed by the both of them, and one is presently up for auction on eBay. Sergio will also be selling a few of them at his convention appearances — like this coming weekend at Wondercon in San Francisco.
If the link to eBay has expired, you can click here to get a good look at this splendid pic, which is made up of a lot of little pics of Sergio in his studio. This would be a great poster to put up outside your house, if for no other reason that no one can deface it by drawing a mustache on it. A vandal would have to go out, buy some Liquid Paper and paint the mustache out in order to deface it.
