Doug Sneyd Signed Original Playboy Art Sketch April 1982 New Erogenous Zone For Sale

From the April 1982 issue of Playboy (and later reprinted in The Art of Doug Sneyd on page 101), this pencil sketch features a preliminary rough created by acclaimed illustrator Doug Sneyd for that issues gag cartoon. Rendered on vellum, it measures approximately 8 1/2 by 11 inches and is taped to a sheet of paper. Sneyd redid the face on vellum and cut it out, then pasted the new art over the existing face (hence the discoloration due to the glue used). This listing includes a small Xerox copy of the finished cartoon (which measures approximately 3 1/4 by 5 inches). Condition is good- as a prelim and as part of the creative process it was not expected to be kept perfect.Would look great framed together! Of note, the outside entrance, including the stone landing, is Doug's rendering of the entrance of his own house in Canada.
