It’s been really special to see how many people have loved their Hitchens posters. Due to the HUGE demand, I’ve produced an extra printing so you can get your own at my artwork website here.
Best,
Adrian

I just got the news, via NY Times notice, that one of my favorite writers of all time, Christopher Hitchens, has passed away at the age of 62 from esophageal cancer. In honor of his passing, I’ll donate half of all proceeds from the sales of my poster portraits of him to the American cancer society for the rest of 2011.
Me, Emily, Bianca, and Catharine toasting Johnny Walker Black to the great man.
May his spirit, for lack of a better word, live on.

So far I’ve shipped about 70 Hitchens posters to 6 countries around the world. I’ve received several photos of Happy Customers‘ Hitchens posters hanging proudly in their homes and offices. Some of you decked him out in some classy frames and matting. To you patrons of the arts, thank you so much for buying my prints. Here’s a sample of some of the pictures, to view them all click here.

I’ve been working on this oil portrait of Salman Rushdie. The image features several scenes from a couple of his novels. I’m going to spend the next few days staring at it to make sure I like it. I’ll eventually make some poster prints and put them up for sale on my website, where they can keep Hitchens company.

I just set up a Pacificvs Etsy shop! From here I’ll be selling prints and collections as they come up. Right now, only the Christopher Hitchens poster is available. But he looks lonely all alone up on that board, so other prints will be joining him soon. Check often: more literary figures are on the way.

My crafty sister and brother-in-law presented me with this early Christmas present the other day at their holiday dinner. It’s homemade, and features the silhouette of a pre-cancerous Hitchens donning an ironic crown of thorns with the words “The Passion of the Hitch” scrawled beneath it. Hitchens and the crown appear to both be made out of cloth. This will make a handsome addition to my home. To see more of my sisters work, visit her blog at Rabbit Foot Fern, or drop by her Etsy store. In addition, prints of my Hitchens portrait are now for sale on my website, Adrian Covert Web.

Christopher Hitchens (2010). Acrylic & Collage on Canvas
It’s no secret: I’m a big fan of the Hitch. I was introduced to his writing about two years ago, when I finally removed God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything off of my lovely girlfriend’s shelf (I had been staring at that yellow spine for nearly a year). Yes, many of the arguments contained within had been made before. What was impressed me most was the author’s almost freakishly entertaining prose. This man could probably write a page turner on competitive grass growing. That it was on the best subject of all, religion, was icing on the cake. Since then, I’ve been committed to reading everything under his byline.
So it was by happy chance that when a few months back I decided I wanted to do several portrait paintings, Hitch came to mind. He is a rather imposing looking fellow, English-frump with Scotch-neck (see Ted Kennedy). But now that it’s finished, I think I’m going to move on to painting several other authors, and to my friends I promise to “tone it down” a bit on Hitchens. Get better soon Hitch!
