Description

Received yesterday, just in time to mark Ian’s Eisner win! Congrats to the whole team on a great book.
Thanks to Ian for this fantastic piece. When Felix previewed the most recent round of commissions I was really blown away and this was one of my favorites.

It’s also giant - 18” x 24” - and I’m excited to see it framed.

My second foray into Artist’s Choice and I’ve yet to be disappointed (do your homework!!!).

Thanks to Felix for setting it up.

Nothing specific. Just meant it was a masterpiece. Ian did say it was an homage to Beksinski.

So I don't like this, but I love looking at it. It kinda trips my trypophobia, and that makes it a great piece.

Thanks for the feedback! It's definitely a striking piece that requires absorption. A wise person once told me "good art generates a strong reaction" - this piece certainly does that! And it wouldn't be art if everyone loved it 🤣

A good debate about art is a wonderful thing.

HUGE "18x24" congrats on this one ML! I love Ians artist choice option and clearly he does too. It's always interesting to see what he comes up with. This piece gives me Giger-mummy vibe, as a stand alone piece, this one delivers handsomely!

Wow, man, the intricacy on this is crazy! Killer line work. Being as big as it is must be a helluva sight in person! Lots and lots to pore over. Congrats!

This is a beauty. A fellow collector once said to me "Ian's art belongs in museums," and I never agreed more.
