Haunted Portraits only sells their lenticular pirate ship once a year. September 30th is the day this year and only 50 will be available. I bought one last year and it looks great. http://www.hauntedportraits.com/cutter.htm
From their email.
P.S . - I got several of you asking when the Phantom Ship was going to be available again? I only make the Phantom Ship available for sale 1 week a year. This year the Phantom Ship will go on sale at 12:01 CST September 30th. There will only be 50 available and there is a stick limit of only 2 per person because of issues with people buying them in quantity and reselling them on eBay.

I thought this would look good in a tiki bar with a nautical or pirate theme. It's a lenticular. You might need to register on their website to get the purchase button link.

From a Haunted Portraits email:
So let me start by giving you a little history on the Ghost Ship and why I took it off the market...
So as I'm sure you know I'm a huge Haunted Mansion fan and many of my works have been inspired by pictures or scenes in the Haunted Mansion. One of the items I love is the changing Ghost Ship that goes from normal to haunted. My version unlike theirs is actually much more detailed than the cartoonish version that the Disney Imagineers did.
The Ghost Ship has always been one of my best sellers but there's a dark side that most people don't know about it.... it's a pain in the ass to make. You see it's the only portrait I do (or any other changing portrait artist does) that's landscape format instead of portrait (in other words it's wider than tall). The problem with that from a production stand point is it's REALLY hard to get the entire image to change from edge-to-edge all at once. As a matter of fact I approached another changing portrait artist about doing all of my product manufacturing for me and he said yes but he wouldn't touch the Ghost Ship because it would just be too difficult.
Anyway last year I took the Ghost Ship out of production and it wasn't long after it went off the market I started getting emails from my customers asking where they could get one. So last October I decided to make the Ghost Ship available for one week only. We completely sold out and as I said it was removed from purchase after that week.
The Ghost Ship available for only one week starting this Monday night October 1st at 10PM CST. Just like all my other 16x20 portraits it's only $85 and $12 for tracked Priority Mail shipping. The purchase button will go live here Phantom Ship at 10PM CST and will be removed on October 8th.
P.S. - If you saw my last email you know that Disneyland Resort just purchased several of my Haunted Portraits for use at the Magic Kingdom for their Halloween events. Just between you and me the Ghost Ship was one of the ones they purchased :)
P.P.S. - If you order $200 or more in changing portraits of any size shipping is FREE
P.P.P.S - This Monday night I'm going to send out an email to my email list revealing the secret Haunted Mansion project blueprints that I worked on but haven't been able to reveal until now because of a non-disclosure agreement with Disney.
