Thanks, Michael! To quote the recently departed, deeply missed Don Adams of GET SMART fame, "Would you believe..." they arrived TODAY??
Yup, no sooner did I read your email, that later that afternoon my Mom dropped 'em off (she picks up my business mail for me as it's closer to where she lives). She said she felt it might be urgent because of the interesting packaging. (And what packaging it was! I feel like I should hang that on the wall too...)
The posters are absolutely STUNNING in person. Truth be told, I was a bit concerned about the printing doing justice to the digital medium. (Since all my book covers were digital, I had all kinds of problems trying to get ink to come close to the pixels on my screen.) But man, you had a perfect job on these! (I hope you were happy as the artist, of course.) The colors are vibrant, intense, and as alive as the characters themselves.
The composition works quite well on the printed piece, something hard to appreciate on the small monitor. The personalities, lighting and rendering detail come through quite nicely. My wife was even more impressed! Looking forward to framing it.
I can't thank you enough for the low number and the wonderful personalization as well---I really was hoping you'd add my name, but didn't want to impose. Man, I am going to keep that one forever---and longer!! Then when I came across the Gargoyle poster...what else could I say but, oy vey!! Mama mia!! Madre Dios! Mein Gott! Mon Dieu! Holy Monkey Crap!!!
Your talent and skill are eclipsed only by your selfless generosity and loving spirit. The next time you visit relatives near Farmington, please do let us know so my wife and I can treat you to a nice meal. I'd be honored.
Thanks for making a balding quadragenarian (?) feel like a full-haired kid again.
Best,
Mike
