Greg Hildebrandt
« on: February 19, 2005, 05:12:02 PM »
There's a painting the Greg Hildebrandt did of Robin Hood kissing Marian in the forest that my wife off handedly remarked she really likes. I would like to find a print or poster of it to give her as a gift, but the only place I can find it is in a book published in 1990. if any of you knwo a good resource for getting something like this could you let me know? My searches have discovered that nearly all even semi-major poster web sites are all run by allposter.com, which has a very poor selection of Hildebradt posters.

If you choose to do a search for this and you arent' familiar with Hildebrandt, be aware that he does a lot of "pin up" posters that sensitive eyes will not want to see. Thanks.

Thanks Glenda.

Yeah, I found a copy of that book, actually, and I bought it. But I was hoping for a larger copy of it she could frame and hang on the wall. Maybe we'll just pull the picture out of the book and frame that.

you could just blow the picture up.  Not as in with explosives and a "BOOOOOOOOOM!!!" (well, you could do that, too.  And I'm sure it would be more fun...), but as in enlarging it...
