| AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #641 COVER. 2010. Gouache and acrylic on bristol board, 11 × 17″. |
I had a bit of recent luck that was too good not share. Over a year ago, I released the cover to Amazing Spider-Man #641 and Mark Hay, my original art representative, put it up for auction. The piece sold, it was paid for, packed up, and everyone was happy... until the package didn't arrive.
Mark broke the news to me as softly as he could. Softening was helped by the fact that it was fully-insured. But while I still received payment, I would much prefer my precious babies in a collection, than lost in the Negative Zone.
One year later, almost to the day, Mark called me with the news: FedEx had found the art! He waited until he had it in hand to tell me, and I waited to announce it until the collector (finally) had it in his hands.
Huge thanks to the collector for his support, patience, and understanding. FedEx, you put our 3 hearts through the wringer, but I can't thank you enough for pulling through in the end. And, of course, thank you to Mark for taking care of a less-than-ideal situation. (Glad you got your deductible back :)
