Description

The details on this are amazing... as usual, it looks out of this world in person but I'm hoping that the picture does it justice. From Steel City Con- March 2, 2012.

My friend Joe F. was kind enough to pick this up for me, Mr. O'Barr himself picked it out for me. A semi-long story but it ended on a most memorable note. This piece I'll always treasure.

There is no real title. From what I was told this was supposed to be a T-Shirt design but it was nixed because of the amount of detail. The background alone took Mr. O'Barr 6 hours to do!! Thanks so much for everything Joe.. you gave me one of the most memorable days of my life.
And Mr. O'Barr, if by chance you ever read this, thank you for sharing your time with me... I'll never forget it.

I certainly can't fathom admiring this piece any more than I do.. right now, I'm saving to get it framed. And as always, thank you for your words of wisdom, Davide. :)

Thank you!! I don't like to use the word 'masterpiece' or 'grail' on what I collect but I really love it when others do. And how can I not agree? ;)

James always does amazing work, especially for "con sketches" but this is outstanding! The detail is stunning! Congratulations!

Bringing out the details posed a big problem- I just couldn't bring out the depth or make Eric *pop* from the background. After some tweaking, it's finally close to the actual piece. Thank you for being so kind and commenting. I love Mr. O'Barr's work and this is quite the Gem for me. :)

I do have to admit I hit the jackpot with this one. But if I didn't have such good friends, this would all be a dream. You're a doll, Maria. I always look forward to your presence in my humble gallery. :)

It is, it really is. The background alone is worth seeing in person. I was told that not only did it take James 6 hours to do but he did it with a toothbrush!!! The diabolical look on Eric's face is outstanding and I know I'm going on and on but I can't help it. I just e-mailed you about this, too. lol

Lol.. it's pretty wicked looking. Definitely a side of Eric I would not want to meet.. EVER. But the art is to die for. :)

Hi Holly, fantastic piece! I tried to contact you via CAF, but maybe you didn't get my messages. I'd like to ask you some information about O'Barr work, if you may be able to help me. Thank you so much.

Who better than to draw a Crow piece than the Master himself, James O'Barr! Moody does not describe this great drawing enough. Truly an epic piece, Congratulations.
