Which ILM book is that? It might be worth me picking up a copy for reference.
like i said in my previous post, glen eytchison and other artists from the ‘pageant of the masters’ festival produced for the vigo prop. turnbull and rymar were both POM artists, and eytchison was the director of the festival. michael c. gross and ILM artists also worked on the prop… :angryvigo:

ILM: into the digital realm. it’s an expensive booger, though… usually around $50 on amazon. i’ve been meaning to pick up a copy for years.
Got it. I found one at Amazon for $23.
Thanks.
AAAAAARGH… pays to look from time to time, i guess. 
congrats on the find!
I’m actually doing some similar measurements (using Bill Murray’s height of 6’ 3’’ from an old online bio) and it looks like Vigo is slightly larger than my 5 x 8 foot canvas replica.
Right now, 107 inches (just about 9 feet). I’m trying to verify his height and a few other things. I will update you with more info as it comes available.
Bill’s IMDB Bio lists his actual height at 6’ 2".
Yeah, I’ve seen as low as 6’ 1’’ and as high as 6’ 4’’ through the years. That puts Vigo at 8.5 - 9.5 feet tall.
through most art history, paintings were expected to be framed as part of the presentation, but at some point in the 20th century, it became prefered to not frame the painting in most cases, and let the art “stand on it’s own.” Which is good for me, as I’ve saved a bunch of money..so IMO it’s ok to be unframed.
although, this painting was supposedly painted centuries ago, so it would require a frame to be accurate to it’s period.
Damn man i realy wan’t to have a vigo poster in my house,my movie room along with other film stuff i have,i’ve seen one on ebay,but the guy wants $50 for it i’m not sure how much that is in £'s i think it’s something along the lines of £40.I was hopeing someone on here would do one for me at a good price :whatever: :angryvigo:
That’s roughly £31.30, but the provinence of those Vigo prints is also unknown.
then again… it was being restored in the movie, so it wouldn’t necessarily be in a frame.
Actually. The original sketch, concept, composition was done by Glen.
He supervised the production of it for ILM.
It wasn’t really a painting.. the background was painted ofcoruse. But it was a photograph that was weathered to be painted.
Also, keep in mind when scaling up the painting from the museum scenes, that it’s also on an easel/platform that puts the painting about a foot off of the floor of the set.
aj… is there any way you can post the concept you mentioned? i’d love to see it.
Sure.
It is heavily watermarked and scaled down since I don’t want people printing them out and trying to sell them. 
That is “FUC*ING” awsome :angryvigo: :angryvigo:
VERY cool! thanks for posting! 
does anyone know the carpathian translation of “PLEASE get the artist’s permission and sell prints in the store to support site hosting”?
Did you try contacting him through his website to see who owns the rights to the actual artwork?
He does.. but I would never ask that of him.
