Sheldon original art

Anatomy of the Van Meter Visitor

Sheldon cartoons are hung in LA galleries, in the main lobby of Google, and in hundreds of homes around the world. And here's your chance to get an original Sheldon of your very own!

Each cartoon is a hand-drawn, hand-lettered, one-of-a-kind creation; drawn on acid-free Bristol Vellum cardstock using archival Faber-Castell and Micron pens. The originals are black-and-white, and commonly measure either 4 1/4" x 13 3/4" (for the horizontal strips), or 10"x13 3/4" (for the larger, double-tall strips). They frame up beautifully, and make any owner 26% better looking.

Note: Reproduction rights are not included in the sale of original Sheldon art. Only the cool awesomeness of owning your own original is for sale. And trust us: that's a lot of cool awesomeness.

TITLE: Anatomy of Monsters: Anatomy of the Van Meter Visitor

DESCRIPTION: A humanoid-pterodactyl leaps in the air. His human-muscled torso and arms hold up translucent wings. His legs and arms end in clawed three-finger and toed hands and feet. His pterodactyl face with beak has a glowing crest. It shoots out rays of light and glows red like an ember.

JOKES:
- He’s an eight-foot tall Dino-man seen in 1903 by all the reputable town elders in Van Meter, Iowa.
- (points to previous joke) Tell me your town had “carbon monoxide hallucinations” without telling me.
- Van Meter has a population of 1,000 people. So saying “All the reputable town elders” is basically saying JIM. …Jim saw it.
- (next to his glowing crest) pew pew pew
- Look at this dingus’ wing-to-weight ratio! Bet this dude flies with the grace of a cardboard box being kicked across a parking lot.
- And he had a light-up forehead! Which honestly just feels like the studio went overboard on notes.
- Wait wait wait. So Edison rolls out the lightbulb, then a few years later they spot a monster with a light on it’s head? HOW CONVENIENT.
- This is like spotting a cryptid in 1999 and saying “It had horns! Tusks! And…AOL!”
- He also smelled like sulfur! Which, to be fair, was every third person in 1903.
