Description

I was lucky enough to get on a very short list of "high end" commissions Sean took to help fund him and his wife's home purchase. In true Sean "rule-breaker" Murphy fashion, Sean broke his own rule of no-licensed characters for this list. This bad boy was done throughout the day on Friday, July 12th.

I've always loved the way Sean does tech, vehicles and especially motorcycles. I had to request Logan on a motorcycle in Japan. Sean went with me and chose a WW2 bike and packed this piece with movement and life. I am amazed with his ability to tell a story with a single panel and make this much more than a pin-up.

Many thanks to Sean and his rep Jason for making this one happen.

Such a powerful piece of art. One scene, but it tells a much larger story. I'd buy the comic that told this tale.

This has to be my favorite Logan on a bike piece - so much goodness going on here! You can tell SGM had a blast drawing this one (which is always the goal on a commission). Congrats!
