thethedew Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Whatever happened to this infamous piece? I had the opportunity to buy it back in the day, and I'm kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on such a notable, memorable piece of OA commissioning history. eewwnuk and Catwoman_Fan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not infamous to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will_K Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Didn't everyone have an opportunity to buy it ?? It was listed on ebay. But I think it had a reserve. And I thought there a major thread about this on the board ?? Doesn't seem to be around. Why didn't "Patience is a virue" become a meme ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESeffinga Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Because it is most applicable to the commissioning hobby only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwoman_Fan Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I remember following the drama in real time, and to me the art is infamous. I don't think the commissioner sold it on ebay, maybe that was a third party Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin Sinescu Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 Yeah, I remember following the drama behind this as well. Still think about that art anytime someone throws the phrase around. I wonder if the story is known among other artists; could be a theme to have other artists carry on with different characters, especially the less patient ones.

Peter L Posted November 22, 2019 Share Posted November 22, 2019 I think of this whenever I am tempted to get a Michael Golden commission, or see some of his art from the Micronauts that I loved as a kid, or when someone says, "Patience is a Virtue." True story: At the SDCC after this story came out, I saw him sitting at his table by himself. I walked by and noticed. He was very friendly in trying to get me to look at his stuff but I just ran away. It kind of gave me the chills. Had the story not come out, I might have spent a lot of money not getting a Micronauts commission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was basically a commission Bill Sienkwicz did of a monster but if you kind of flipped it a bit the monster was actually a pen15 with a nut sac and all with wearing a condom on it’s head.
