Wanted!




Saw these photo negatives for sale on ebay (hence the watermark). I like 'em, but what I really want is the black velvet devil painting.
If need be, I'll wrestle her for it!

  1. That looks like the typical chess club

  2. I have that painting. Do you still want it?

  3. You could just play her a game of chess for the painting.

    Just don't challenge her to a game of bowling. Looks like she can pick up a 7-10 split with ease

  4. Ok, I was teasing. I do have another devil paining though that you may like. It comes in an Aaron Brothers frame.

  5. It's hard to take anyone named "anonymous" seriously!
    Myself, I like the "Devil with the vices" theme paintings the best, where dames, money, drugs and drink are spinning around him.

  6. My grandfather R. Hobbs painted many devil with vices on black velvet and sold them at his bottle stores and flea markets in the late 70's and 80's in Arkansas and Missouri. He also did many with nudes and a fantasy space scene with a twisty floating island. I am interested in acquiring any of this type especially if signed Hobbs or by his wife who signed usually Quay.

  7. I'll keep an eye out! Do you have any photos of his devil paintings?
