The artist's name is Tanya Knight Ruffin, but there is nothing else written on it except "All Rights Reserved". It is a print, and not the original drawing.

I have seen this once before, but I don't know anything else about it. It must at least be from 1985 though, because the crystal ball and stand she's drawn are from the Rock A Little cover. Pretty cool.

I am guessing it is fan art that they made into a print.

I can't recall the girls name, but hers was a submission for the fan book: "Book Of Miracles." I should know more about it than I am recalling now, as I have befriended people that knew those that created and contributed to that book, but right now I am drawing a blank. That SUCKS that you paid that much for it. I mean it's nice and all, but it sux cause surely the artist didn't get the money =0( I'll do a little research this week, and pull up some info if you are interested. A lot of fan work was contributed for that book, and this posters creator was about the best there was. Apparently at the time, Stevie was quite smitten with it as well.

Was that book ever produced? Not familar with it.

[GarboSpeaks!]

Yes it was. Well wait, ok, dunno if it legit got backed by a printing company. Crap, and I JUST gave it back to the person that let me borrow it. I've had it "borrowed" for like 6 months, then ya'll start w/ the ?'s. LOL. Really, will get it back from them, and give all the details if interested. Once you've seen it, it's not that neat. I'm not being cruel, but it sounds like SUCH a cool item, but you get it, and realize there are like 100 others just like you pouring out their hearts for Stevie. Cool, and worn out at the same time. Apparently Stevie DID get a copy of it though, which is what it's all about, and very sentimental to those that got invloved with it.
Having first heard of it forever ago (and crap, earlier I called it Book of Miracles right??? It's Book of Legends) I thought, oh wow, a book full of what's out there collectible wise, some fan art, poetry and stuff. Like a big ol' catalogue of stuff. Nope, just fan letters, poems and art.

I have this. I bought it off eBay for about $20-$25. It was put out by Linda Iorio. I liked the artwork, and what pics there were, but, you're right. It's basically a bunch of fans talking about how they got into Stevie, how much they love her and her music, etc.
If anyone wants a scan of, let me know. I think I know where I last saw it.

I emailed him to ask why he was selling it. He replied that he didn't have enough wall space. I got the distinct impression that it was Glen (I have a little sixth sense about these things). The email address and other info he gave me seemed to confirm it. When the award arrived, sure enough, it was a platinum record(part of the reason I thought it such a collector's item, aside from my love of TWH) and the RIAA hologram certainly appears to be the real thing, from what I've seen.
My only regret is that I didn't buy The Other Side Of The Mirror one he offered around the same time.

I met the guy who owned Celebrity Vintage. I can't remember his name now. He'd moved his store down to Broadway. He claimed to know Stevie's mom.

Yes, it's me...the collectible stuff brought me out into the open! It's encouraging me to dig through the collection and post some pics. I love seeing what everyone has!

Here is the Wild Heart bracelet, pin and ring. I'm still searching for the necklace.

I framed my "If Anyone Falls" Japanese single together with a backstage pass from the Wild Heart Tour. I always loved the finger pointing photo!

It's Robert Lecher. And it's soooooo fitting. I haven't been in his store since right after it moved to Broadway.

I really miss that fabulous painting of Stevie that was on the side of the building when his store was on Colfax. It was vandalized, then painted over.
