I could tell it was Ax without the label. Leeke did a very nice job. :thumb:

The original sketch I received from Mike was crushed by the Post Office when they folded the package three ways to fit my mailbox. He sent me a replacement. Class act in my book.

Agreed. I don't know how many other artists would have done that.

Mine came damaged too :( but not that bad for me to ask for another one. Damn post office. I think maybe Mike needs to put a steel plate in with all his sketches from now on :thumb:

That is awesome! I first thought of Gilad too. How can I commission Leeke for a sketch? Anyone know?

Just ask. His prices are very reasonable.

Search the memberlist for Mike Leeke or just google him, I'm sure his contact info will be there.
