Thanks for all your kind words! BaronV, if there was one cover I ever dreamed of owning, it was Emerald Dawn #1. I also messed my pants when I found out A.) where it was and B.) I could buy it! When I had MD Bright do a commission for me a few years back via e-mail, I asked about Emerald Dawn art, and he told me he had the cover to #1 sitting in his closet for almost 15 years! He said he would not sell it, so I was bummed. But a few days later he e-mailed me and said he would let it go if I wanted it. *Bam*...pants messed!
And the Rebirth, Sinestro Corps and Blackest Night covers were all bought sight-unseen, months before they were even drawn! I had no idea when I started buying with Rebirth that GL would be the best it has ever been...just got lucky!
The Framer I have used on all my art is one of the best...she has done all the mat cuts and I have driven her nuts with them, but over the years she has gotten exceptional at doing them!
