Renowned fantasy artist, and long-time friend of the Workshop, Jerry Vanderstelt joined us at San Diego Comic-Con in 2018 to create this amazing Middle-earth painting over just three days. His path set and the challenge met: Jerry painted a realistic version of Weta Workshop’s newly released Mini Epics: Gandalf the Grey. At Richard Taylor’s request, our super-stylised and ultra-expressive collectible was transformed into a painted figure of flesh and blood.This exquisite print is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. Measuring 24 x 18 inches (W x H), the artwork will be numbered and signed by the artist, and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
Fans and visitors to Comic-Con watched as Jerry masterfully attacked the paper with his brushes, airbrush and paint, producing this stunning painting [and] bringing our little character to life. Richard Taylor, Co-founder & Creative Director, Weta Workshop
