Dave;
According to the website, it's actually acrylic and fabric on wood - 34 x 25 inches, owned by some folks in Brooklyn.
The artist is a guy named Joe Coleman, and Hank is one of a series he's done this style. I noticed this at a newsstand on the cover of a magazine a couple of weeks ago, bought the mag and then found the URL in the article - it's the James Corcoran Gallery.
The cool thing about it , though you can't see the text detail on the jpeg here, is all the little other graphics/text that touch on all the aspects of hank's life - Audrey, Teetot, Billie Jean, the Drifting Cowboys etc.
