My sister's friend renovated her basement to look like an art deco speakeasy, complete with 3-D Maxfield Parrish clouds on the ceiling!

The one I have (Daybreak, smaller) probably sold for under $10 when it was released. Quite a chunk of change back then but because of his fame thru magazine covers, these good-looking prints sold very well. Wiki says enough prints of Daybreak were sold to go into 1 in 4 households in America. Wiki also tells us that Mel Gibson's wife bought the original in 2006 and sold it at a 2.5 Million dollar loss 4 years later D'oh!

Also, his skies, landscapes, etc. were done in such a way that they were almost 3D-looking......but you can't tell unless you're standing next to an original. I wish his stuff would go on tour!
