I like the look of this one but without Mulder from X-Files it looks incomplete. Valenzuela in my opinion is not doing his best yet for print publication. His other works that are in his book and calendar are much better, yet they keep pushing the middle level on us. His first print work - Terror from Outer Space is still his best.

I wouldn't say we are pushing it on anyone. Offering it up is a better way of putting it.
The piece was created as an adverting print for the London Film and Comic Con, mainly for the fact that GA was attending.
Trying to give people at the show something different to have autographed rather than the standard A4 gloss photo.

Also we are trying to raise £500+ for a charity that Gillian has an affiliation with so that was another factor.

As David Duchovny isn't attending we left him off. The artist wanted him on but as I said it's an advertising print.
Carlos insisted that we left on the Cancer Man though, personally I would have preferred Mitch Pileggi as again he is at the show, but I need to compromise with the artist.

If you like his other work you can always buy direct off his Deviant Art page, he has a few pieces up for sale. Not sure where you get the calendar from though. You could always ask him, it's based on Vanessa Lake, but I don' see it in her store either.

I like the print. The CSM is dead on. I don't remember Scully's hair ever looking that long though.

Actual image of the screen print is on the front page of the website.
The Giclee version is a lot brighter in colour, more blue/green in the face.
Screen print more of a red colour.
Giclee was on bright white gloss canvas.

I have a few screen prints left (7 i think), one autographed one for me.

Just as an update, we paid the charity the full £500 we promised to raise.
