You got it... anytime.

This is simply the best piece I have seen... EVER. I love it and what is represents.

Thank you for all of your hard work on this.

I absolutely love that piece! Everyone that worked on this - that includes you, Knightt! - is to be commended! The coloring makes me love it even more. The use of the old Valiant technique with the Dr. Martins watercolors really gives it that *wow* factor!

I know the copy I have is just that - a copy - but it's still a prized possession and, along with the whole project, is something very special to me. It's killing me that I haven't gotten this thing in a frame yet!
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I really like how the piece 'morphs' from one era to the other.

Has anyone spotted the 'error' that was corrected on the final product ?
