In 1986, Crumb drew this illustration in one of his sketchbooks. It went unnoticed until Denis Kitchen put it in The R. Crumb Coffee Table Artbook in 1997. Later, in 2012, when the German publishing company Taschen released their collection of Crumb's sketchbooks (1982-2011), they included a small color poster (they called it an "art print") of Crumb's The little Guy That Lives Inside My Brain.
Now we're releasing a special black and white etching edition of only 40 prints, each one numbered, signed and dated by Crumb. Crumb slightly reworked the illustration specifically for this etching edition. It's a fantastic printing job–extremely detailed and crisp. The Hahnemuhle paper is 12" x 15." The embossed area is 8" x 9.5 inches. The illustration is 7" x 8.5 inches. The Release date is Friday, November 12th.
