Lifesize E.T.

#1 Post by mangrasshopper »

This was a joy to paint.....one of my favorite aliens.
stands 3 foot 3 inches tall. The neck was left un-seamed as its removable for shipping.
Love me some E.T.!

This is fabulous work, Joe. Didn't you paint one a while ago of E.T.'s head popping out of a basket?

Love me some E.T. too. My Dad carried me outta' the theater crying when it was over.
