'I knew I knew you!'

8"×10" print matted to 11"x14 

​Honor the legacy of a comedy giant with this exquisite graphite portrait of John Candy.

​This limited-edition print is a high-fidelity reproduction of an original hand-drawn graphite study. The artist has used the precision of graphite to masterfully render the warmth and "indomitable optimism" of Del Griffith, the iconic shower curtain ring salesman from the 1987 holiday classic Planes, Trains and Automobiles.

​The Man Behind the Smile

​John Candy’s performance in this film is widely considered his finest, blending his natural gift for broad comedy with a profound, quiet vulnerability. This drawing captures the very moment Neal Page realizes that behind Del’s "annoying" talkativeness is a man with a "broken heart" and a deep need for human connection. It is a tribute to an actor who could make you laugh and break your heart in the same scene.

  • ​Perfect Gift: A must-have for fans of 80s cinema, John Hughes films, or anyone who believes that "those aren't pillows!" is the funniest line in movie history.
