BRONZES
From the hand of the stop motion master Ray Harryhausen, comes PREHISTORIC CHALLENGE, a limited edition bronze.
The Prehistoric Challenge bronze was inspired by Ray’s love of all things dinosaur. While anyone seeing it is immediately reminded of Ray’s one film for Hammer Films, One Million Years BC, this sculpture represents a different theme! This is Ray’s fantasy version of the prehistoric world where a Cro-Magnon man protects his mate from the jaws of a cerotosaurus!
Prehistoric Challenge is limited to 60 castings. The solid bronze casting, set on green marble, measures 5 ½” high by 6 ¼” deep and 9 ½ wide and weighs approximately 15 lbs. Interested parties can email gravenimaginings@yahoo.com for purchase details.

ART
Lee Cohen at Every Picture Tells A Story (see Useful Links) introduced the world to the art of Ray Harryhausen with the Ray Harryhausen Portfolio, which includes high quality prints from The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, Jason and the Argonauts, 20 Million Miles to Earth and Ray’s unrealised project War of the Worlds. One of Ray’s great fans, Harlan Ellison, has contributed a stirring essay whilst Ray himself has written an introduction.

"It has been my true and distinct pleasure to play a small role in allowing Ray Harryhausen’s art to be seen by so many. It has also been a very special honor to get to know and become a friend of this great artist." Lee Cohen.
