Paul Pope has created an all new fine art print with master art printers Axelle Fine Arts to benefit the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund!
This print, The Liberty Tree, was personally overseen by Pope, is archivally printed, and strictly limited to 50 copies, all signed and numbered by artist. Get a print of your very own by joining the CBLDF at the $500 level or $1,000 level, which will also include a separate sketch by the artist! All proceeds benefit the CBLDF’s 2011 program work.
The Liberty Tree was published in Liberty Comics #2 as a 2 page spread, but the drawing itself is quite a bit larger. The theme is loosely based on Jefferson's quotation about the "tree of liberty". I wanted to chose a subject which was uniquely American, yet different from the sort of text book imagery you'd see about the American Revolution and the Revolutionaries. Larry Marder suggested I do a piece based on a series of quotes he offered, all of which related to some statement about free speech and individual liberty. I like the tree image and the complexities of a native American (in this case, a Huron) as subject, and went with that. The piece is also quietly a tribute to Hugo Pratt, whose books Indian Summer, Fort Wheeling, and Jesuit Joe all inform my own work in comics.
Printed on heavy stock, and signed and numbered, this 24 by 36 inch print is a rare and beautiful item.
