August 8, 2011: Two books with Bruce Shingledecker cover art soon to be released by Cha!
Voice of the Ancients, Right of Way and Voice of the Ancients, Against All Odds
Preface to Right of Way
When men and women came to this continent forty thousand years ago, an ice sheet covered most of North America. The climate was very different. There was an abundance of food. The animals grew to huge sizes, and so did their predators. I have carved the bones of these animals and have worked with the artifacts of the people. As I held them in my hands, they whispered their stories….Their blood flows in my veins and yours. I am the voice of the ancients, listen…. the story starts twenty-five thousand years ago in the southwest...

Dear Folks,
Bruce Shingledecker has been gone four years now and no new originals have emerged...collecting the originals now might not be easy, they are really valuable, however the prints are a great alternative!
The first image ever done, and the one that made him famous, was The Sky is Falling. Bruce was so happy and excited when we got it! He signed, numbered it, and put the title in the margin....Well, that didn't last long...He got through the Artist Proofs and about 250 of the regular prints and then quit putting the title in. His first signatures were big and loopy, that changed too...They got longer and straighter.
I numbered all the rest of the editions! There were 21 all together. When we started framing the prints, we cut the mat to fit over the image, it looked more like a painting and didn't take up as much space on the walls. Well, I had Bruce re-sign them, of course he didn't like that at all, however that makes lots of them double signed!! If you have any of those, you can add another $200 to the value of your print! Add $400 if it has the title!!
There is more... It was hard work signing the large prints, and it took up a lot of clean space, they were delicate. Bruce was living in Gustavus, coming to town less and less. He signed all the Against All Odds, however there are just a few Mother and Child signed.
The large prints were really hard to handle, so we don't have a lot of Right of Way, Before the Storm or Way Past Midnight. which is a shame because they are realllllly popular.
We let the sales receipt be the Certificate of Authenticity, if you have those, make sure you keep them...If you'd like to know the current value, check Bruces' site www.bruceshingledecker.com I charge $50 for print appraisals, $250 for paintings if you need documentation. That info is also good for posterity!
There is a secondary market for Bruces' work, I charge 40% and a 5% listing fee.
For example:
- • 17 #8AP's for $30,000 mostly framed...it would finish the collection if we could find #8AP of the large prints...
• #13AP and #98AP of "The Sky is Falling" $3,000 each
• # 409 of "The Sky is Falling" it has yellowed a bit but it has the title in the margin for $900
• #290 of "The Sky is Falling" for $800 it has a big loopy signature in the margin....

"The Sky is Falling"
