Very nice cover :thumb: , I really like Clayton's version of X-O. I was lucky enough to meet him Toronto a few years back and was able to pick up this ...

Clayton said that it took about 4 hours to do and he worked on it for an hour in front of me at the con while we chatted. Super cool and chill dude :thumb:
He also took his time with all the fans that came up to him and signed STACKS of books for people as well. Great guy.
