A Hagenized "Grandma Rose" will be at Intervention Con this weekend.

David Hagen reveals another painting, saying "Grandma Rose at it again! Was she a big Dr Who fan?"

This will be on sale at Intervention Con this weekend.

David Hagen returns to Civitans Flea Market this Saturday!

And he's selling paintings "...featuring Grandma Rose!!!!"

"All she needed was a spaceship or three."

By my count, these are paintings 7-10, so there's still lots to come.

DISCLAIMER: ComicsDC's Mike Rhode provided the paintings to Hagen for free, and is not making any money from his reuse of them (but is enjoying it).

Third (and fourth) Hagenized Grandma Rose paintings unveiled

As revealed last month, a cache of paintings by the mysterious Grandma Rose has been acquired by David Hagen for improving with is patented (pronounced PAY-tent-ed) Hagenizing process. The third in the series has been revealed and will be for sale on Saturday at Civitan flea market in Arlington. It's an early work from 1955.

Here's a preview.

Cache of Grandma Rose's vintage NJ landscape paintings is Hagenized

For Immediate Release

Local artist and cartoonist David Hagen has undertaken the delicate and time-consuming process of "Hagenizing" a newly-revealed cache of vintage paintings from Northern New Jersey. The paintings were done from the late 1950s through the early 1970s by the mysterious Grandma Rose's. Largely a collection of landscapes, with a few still lifes known, the paintings by themselves capture the hallucinatory reality of the world made famous in Bruce Springsteen songs.







"I was pleased to be able to rescue these oddly-moving paintings from a house that was about to be demolished, and to place them with such a distinguished and groundbreaking modern artist to be safely and proudly Hagenized," said ComicsDC publisher Mike Rhode.

After a careful study of the work, Hagen applies his own particular brand of restoration to each painting, resulting in a new and improved masterwork. With about 50 paintings to work through, Hagen anticipates his production to be slow, but just in time for the holiday shopping season. The first painting, seen here in before and after versions, debuts tomorrow at the Civitan Flea Market in Arlington, VA.

Keep following this breaking story as there's more to come.
