Anyone with insight into artist Ariel Olivetti ...?

Hello all,

 

Some of you might be aware of how I've been on the lookout for one of Olivetti's earlier comics contributions, a fill-in issue of ALPHA FLIGHT which just happened to guest-star the MICRONAUTS:

Attempts to confirm IF these pages are still with the artist, OR have been long-since distributed, have been pretty inconclusive. Even his North American agent hasn't been able to get an answer out of him, and rare F2F opportunities (through agents) have been pretty garbled as well.

 

A thumb through CAF reveals a cartload of convention sketches and commissions, but not much in the way of published OA. This might suggest either the artist holds his published art closely, or that they're collected closely (or just generally don't leave his native Argentina easily)

 

Just wondering if anyone might know his policy on Published Art.

 

Thanks,

Andrew
