mrblond4 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Greetings all, I got this Bruce Timm piece a while back. It looks to be done on tracing paper and is made up of blue lines. I am looking to sell this but I do not wish to mislead anyone Any information on if this is a production piece for something or what. Thanks much!

malvin Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Other Timm experts should chime in. But I think if it is a prelim, having it on regular paper with some blue pencils is ok. But I don't know his catwoman drawings as well as I do Batman so I can't say if that looks right or wrong. Malvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most of the Timm pieces I've owned have been on thin paper, usually 8x10-8 1/2x11, and he used blue pencil an several of them and then finished them in ink. Not speaking to this piece specifically but the small, thin paper , the blue pencils and the inks/markers over it are like a lot of Timm pieces. Do you remember where you picked it up? Perhaps emailing Albert would help. He's sold everything Timm's put out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblond4 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 (edited) it is 8 1/5 x 11 and I can try to get a pic of it. this was a scan from my printer. Off hand I cant remember where I got it, it was at a time where I bought quite a bit of art from a few places. I also sent Albert a Email with the Scan, maybe he can help some.

This has been my experience as well. But to play devil's advocate, Timm is one of those cartoon styles that is attractive for forgers. I have no eye for this sort of thing, but it looks legit to me.

That was one reason I mentioned asking Albert. He's seen more Timm than anyone besides Timm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrblond4 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Well, I never heard back from Albert, so I am just going to assume that it swims like a duck and quacks like a duck...I will assume its genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will_K Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Just my opinion but if it's a forgery, it's a really good one. This seems to be drawn in Timm's more recent style (with the really pointy chin). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madman1138 Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Bruce uses a blue pencil to sketch his stuff out and uses animation paper usually, which is thinner than artboards. But sometimes he uses cardstock and sometime vellum, like this sounds like. But they are all usually 8 1/2 x 11. I have a similar piece that is full figure, blue pencil & inks on vellum (tracing paper) that you can see here. http://www.comicartfans.com/gallerypiece.asp?piece=1360473 But yours looks totally legit to me, and it's a nice piece. I hope that helps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrblond4 Posted October 2, 2017 Author Share Posted October 2, 2017 Thanks for the input guys, all this will make me feel better when it goes up for sale at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman_Fan Posted October 25, 2017 Share Posted October 25, 2017 Just FYI - this piece was on Alberts site a while back. (I recall, because I was looking for the animated version of Catwoman) I'm 95% sure its the same one. Good luck with the sale! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESeffinga Posted October 26, 2017 Share Posted October 26, 2017 (edited) Definitely Bruce. Cool piece! Unless someone says otherwise, it doesn't look like anything I've seen in print, it just looks like one of his many character drawings just done for giggles, and posted for sale.
