Yup. Maybe and hopefully not. If I remember correctly from our conversation Roger is a native of Arlington. That is how he ended back in rural Vermont. He had some beautiful art in the gallery but it all was expensive imho.

I was traveling the back-roads of Vermont as I am want to do in my spare time. Went to the Norman Rockwell museum in Arlington. Beautiful place to visit. Big open fields and the smell of apple pie. But I digress. While traveling through Arlington and onto Manchester I noticed the "illustration house" logo in a shop window. So I stopped. Talked to Roger. It was about 2 years back but his business card reads as follows : 646-334-9033. roger@illustrationhouse.com Best of luck to you !

More importantly, it is National Cheese Steak Day https://nationaltoday.com/national-cheesesteak-day/

I would rather have a Jay-Z trading card than a printing plate. It would display better and easier to dust. https://www.complex.com/music/signed-jay-z-trading-card-sold-record-breaking-price

They are interesting historical artifacts but they display soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo poorly. As if the three dimensional weighty aspect wasn't problematic enough, the colorless metals are also marred by a reversal of the image. No thanks. No interest. At all. Zero. None. Zilch. Certainly not for run of the mill copper age covers. I would perhaps rethink my interest if the cover to Amazing fantasy 15 were to appear. Then I might be a bidder at these prices.

I am guessing the story is sufficiently painful abs embarrassing that there is no need to tell it. I think we get the gist.

Just compared it. Got it now. The published 361 is “iconic”. I remember buying 20 copies of the book. This unpublished version was unknown to me. Never seen the variant.

Oh, I didn’t even realize that. I didn’t bother to compare to the published version. So this was an unpublished cover ? It didn’t seem familiar at all.

A lot of people are paying crazy money for things that I dont think the future will care about very much

I don’t want my art on the blockchain. It’s all very book of revelations. Mark of the beast. No thank you.
