I've been scouring the web for 5 years now for a poster I used to own in the 70's of Mr. Natural (artist Robert Crumb)! It's a pic of an angry-looking Mr. Natural pointing his finger at the viewer, saying "Wise Up!", with a blue sky in the background, with the sun coming up over some trees.
This pic was even painted on a wall in one of the dorms when I was in college. I stupidly threw out this poster when I thought I was too "grown up" for it, and now I hate myself for it!
Can anyone please tell me where to find it? A repro would be fine, doesn't have to be an original!
So far, the closest I've come is finding a tiny little pic of it, I would post it, but I'm sure it's copyrighted and I don't want to get into any trouble.
Thanks so much for any lead!

I can email the graphic I found to anyone who would like to see what I'm talking about, since my description of this poster may not be the greatest.

Did you ever find the poster? Woke up this morning thinking about one of my recurring regrets... that I didn't buy that same poster when I found it at Pic'n'Save 35 years ago. I was young and broke and was "trying to be mature about my money." Now I'm an old hippy who knows better. Please reply if you've found it.

There's a website devoted to R Crumb stuff. so I'd suggest looking there. Just google R Crumb t-shirts. My favorite poster in college was Stoned Agin with a series of panels, starting with a normal looking guy and ending with a melted face. I now own the t-shirt, along with a bunch of Mr Natural shirts too.

I have this actual poster!  Trying to find out what it was worth, only found ONE reference to it online, $159. Is anyone still looking for this on the internet?

To mmercure: No, I still haven't found one, and I am not sure it's an R. Crumb pic. I emailed that R. Crumb website many years ago, and they didn't confirm that it was Robert's art. It may have just been made to look like "Mr. Natural"...there's no pic of it at that website, and I still can't find it, 10 years later. If you have one, mmercure, let me know, ok? Thanks...

Hi, I have the poster that you are looking for. I have it framed in my office and its been there for five different locations and thirty years. It's not pristine like the eBay version still in its packaging that sold for $159. There may be some sun bleaching of the colors and there seems to be dust that's seeping in from the sides. I found this site as I was wondering if the poster was still available. If anyone is interested, please go to my store on Bidstart and send me a message and let me know what it is worth to you. If I hear from anybody with an amount that's greater than it's worth to me, I will list it in my store which I think gives both of us some protection, and email you that it is listed. The following link is to the store. Pick any store item, click on it and just below the image of the item is a "contact" button where you can send me a message. www.bidstart.com/The-Cover-Wagon_QQstorenameQQ101715QQuseridQQshop |
