Snoopy Valentine - Official Print Release with Dark Hall Mansion

I am very excited to announce a new officially licensed print featuring Snoopy and the Peanuts gang! I worked with the folks at Dark Hall Mansion to create a Valentine themed piece for this upcoming holiday. I have fond memories of making (and waiting for those special) Valentines and had a blast working on this piece. The giclee print (and variant print) will be available this Friday, January 30th at Dark Hall Mansion.

Below is the print release from Dark Hall Mansion. Visit their Website for complete details: www.darkhallmansion.com

Los Angeles, CA, January 27, 2015
PRNewswire/­Dark Hall Mansion, www.DarkHallMansion.com, is most pleased to welcome artist Nicole Gustafsson and her unique take on Peanuts, Valentine's Day, the charm of old school homemade valentines, oh, and love!
Dark Hall Mansion, under license from Peanuts Worldwide, will release Nicole Gustafsson's "Snoopy Valentine," a charming ode to Valentine's Day by way of Charles Schulz's Peanuts gang. Her lovely and subtle original piece is fully painted by hand and is at once all Peanuts and very much Nicole; from the quite impressive cutting skills of everyone's favorite beagle to the charm of old friends in a most unique setting, it's Nicole's touches such as Charlie's classic zigzag shirt pattern as backdrop or his relaxed and faithful pose awaiting his valentine on a mailbox-shaped handle that not only gently nods at classic Peanuts films like "Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown" but references one of Charles Schulz's most poignant and overarching of themes, love, and its endless complexity.
Nicole was delighted to work on an official Peanuts piece:
"Growing up it seems like there was always aspects of Peanuts
that were part of our lives. Watching Peanuts TV specials over the holidays and hanging little ornaments of Snoopy and characters
on our Christmas tree, or the time I got a really big valentine with Snoopy holding a heart. So when I was asked to create a piece based on Peanuts, I immediately thought of all these fun times
I had with my family and friends."

Key sketch in pencil all ready to go before painting. 


I created this piece as a large scale painting to then produce the prints from. I haven't worked on piece the large in a while!
