Bill Morrison

We are pleased to offer this limited edition ARTIST PROOF giclèe print from the line of limited edition fine art giclèes from Twentieth Century Fox titled Bartman by artist and NCS President Bill Morrison. Featuring Bart Simpson as his super alter ego, and other heroic members of the Springfield community, it is printed on glorious canvas measuring approximately 19.5x27.5”, and comes UNSTRETCHED! (The regular edition was on canvas stretched over a wooden frame. Those corners would have been part of the canvas that wraps around the stretch frame.) This is #3 out of an edition of 10 Artist Proofs, and was donated by the artist from his personal collection. Hand numbered and signed, and includes an official COA from Fox.

Bill Morrison’s career started as an illustrator for movie posters back in the 1980s and 1990s with such classics as the horror film House, and believe it or not, many for Disney movies such as re-releases of Peter Pan, Cinderella, Bambi, & The Jungle Book, and the first run posters for Oliver & Company, Mickey Mouse in Prince and the Pauper, and The Little Mermaid (yes, the one of urban legend fame). For the past 25 years, Bill has been working with Matt Groening at Bongo Comics art directing many comic books and hard cover Simpsons books. Somewhere in all of that, Bill created his own comics Roswell: Little Green Man and the Dark Horse Comics mini-series Dead Vengeance.
