Fartman Hand-Drawn Costume Sketch From MTV Awards - 1992 MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS


A hand-drawn Fartman (Howard Stern) superhero costume illustration. This original watercolor and pencil on board sketch depicts Fartman in full Superhero regalia. There are extensive hand-written notes by the designer and a preliminary illustration of the Fartman logo in the margins. This painting is signed by acclaimed costume designer Ted Shell on the lower right corner and has a red ‘Costume Designer Guild’ stamp underneath the signature. A hand-written note on the lower left side reads “Howard Stern as ‘Fartman'”. This illustration is in very good, production-used condition overall with some edge wear.

On the 1992 MTV Video Music Awards, the costume illustrated here is worn by Howard Stern when presenting the Best Metal/Hard Rock Video Award with Luke Perry to Metallica, with his buttocks notoriously exposed. In 2016, Rolling Stone ranked this appearance #3 on their 32 ‘Most Outrageous MTV VMAs Moments of All Time’.
