Talent Caldwell Aspen Cover acquired!

[comicarthouse]

Always dug this cover in Talent's portfolio. The simple "sup?" as Fathom flicked her hand.

At Motor City Comic Con 2012, I decided to finally ask Talent what it would take for him to part with the cover. He said that he wasn't really looking to sell it and had been asked to do so over the years.

He asked me why I liked it and why I really wanted it. I told him, and he simply said "it's yours...". I said "awesome!, what do I owe you??"

He just smiled and said " nothing, it's yours."

I bought the man drinks.

I've known Talent for a long time and have helped him book into shows and have sold a lot of artwork for him over the years. Best guess I have

Met Talent at Motor City 2012 - you actually helped me prebook a Supergirl commission with him. He was super-friendly and did fantastic work. So much so that I had him do another piece there, too.

Hoping to get some more pieces of original art from him in the future.

Might he be booked for the Detroit Fan Fare in the fall, too? * Fingers crossed *
