“When the Chips are Down”

An up-side-down horseshoe like the one in this drawing is said to be a sign of bad luck and this poker hand is about as bad as it gets.  To compliment the busted royal flush, I drew a broken frame. I tried to take realism to an extreme and even drew the title card. The person that bought this original drawing got a kick out of the "Not For Sale" on the price tag. 

"When the Chips are Down" will be available as a limited edition print.

Attention:
If you signed up for the special pre-pub price for this print before 8/10/04, please do so again. I suffered a major hardware failure and lost all the names and email addresses that were previously submitted. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

By submitting your email address here, you can save over 20% on this image when it is published as a limited edition print.  When I receive enough names, you will be contacted with the special pre-publication price and the date the print will be available.  This helps me estimate the popularity of the print and it helps you save some money!  This is a limited time offer.  The beginning issue price of the print will be 20% higher and increase as the print begins to sell out.  My last print that sold out had an ending price that was three times higher than it’s pre-publication price.  I never tell anyone to buy limited edition prints as an investment, but if you like something, it’s always nice to buy it at the lowest price possible.
