Isn't this beeyootiful? This artwork is by Thomas Canty and it was used as a jacket illustration for a book called The White Raven, a novel about Tristan and Isolde (in this book her name was spelled Iseult). There are 600 limited edition prints of these and I happen to have #484. I didn't take very good care of it though. It's still in it's plastic with a cardboard backing but, unfortunately, as a result of our many moves it has a small tear along it's top and it's right corner has been squished. I just got it out of the garage because I was thinking of the Tristan and Isolde movie that's coming out next week. I just saw online that this print is selling for $100. Now that's not really much these days but I think I only paid $20 for it more than 10 years ago. That's why I didn't really pay much attention to it because I never thought it would actually accumulate in value. But I guess the real value of it is how much I love looking at it. I don't know why I never framed it. Well, now this print is safely inside and I'm getting a frame for it next weekend.
I also really want to see the Tristan and Isolde movie. I hope it's good. I'm a sucker for historical/mythical romances and I don't want to miss this one in the theater.
Also, FYI, Aidan was almost "Tristan" had Allan not vetoed the name ("Kids will call him Triscuit"). If Mia was a boy, Tristan would have been it! I just love the name.
