DescriptionElektraArt by Mike McKone OAX 2025 Auction Piece This Elektra watercolor illustration piece by Mike McKone was added as a last minute (previously not advertised as being in the auction) lot to the OAX Auction that happened at the show on Saturday night. Almost sight unseen, Daryl R ended up with the win! Check out the photo I took of Daryl and Jeff celebrating this hard fought auction victory in the additional images! After some "Yada yada yada"...and "TLDR" between Daryl and myself that night at Miller's...the next day on the show floor, Daryl came up to me with the Elektra McKone piece and told me to take it home with me, adding another gifted piece of artwork to my haul! I'll keep the rest of the story between us but I'll always remember the way this went down, thank you so much Daryl! Finally getting the chance to meet and hang out with Daryl was one of the best parts of my OAX experience. This Friday on The EXP is an auction benefitting the family of one of Daryl's fellow Vegas PD officers whom unfortunately lost his life in the line of duty shortly after Daryl returned home from OAX. I've donated some art and plan on bidding to help raise money as well. Hope to see many of you there to support this cause. P.S. - I had to use a cropped image from a phone scan to get this piece to show properly, as the watercolor warped the board so heavily when it dried that it has too many shadows throughout the art board when I use my flatbed scanner to get an image, especially on the sides of the art area. I tried flattening it more the last few weeks in-between weighted portfolios, but still no success getting a proper flatbed scan due to the image being shadowed. Oh well. Social/Sharing |

Holy smokes! This is FANTASTIC! It's so great to see different characters get the McKone color treatment and this is one of the best I've seen. Love Mike's color sense and they are on full display here. Congrats Kavi!

This is a great illustration. McKone does these painted characters better the more he puts them out. Killer every time -- especially this one (you know --- because it's Elektra. :D )

Beautiful Elektra rendition by McKone anf very gratious of Daryl R to gift this you. I had the pleasure of meeting Dary and Jeff Wedding at the airport as were heading back to Vegas. This fund raiser for Officer Roscow is such a thoughtful gesture by the Comic Art Fans community speaks volumes about the heart of the people here

From what I've seen, McKone brought some incredible stuff to OAX, and I missed out on it!!! Glad you ended up with it! Also, Daryl is a great guy and this is another example of why! Kudos to him!!!

And who says Miller's is only a place where you can order Chili Lime dry rub zingers! There is all kinds of magic that happens there! Great to see you end up with the piece and the story and place makes it that much more memorable.

What a beauty! Daryl is true blue. Try scanning it with a heavy book on top of it - that should help with the warp.

McKone's colored illustrations are always amazing and is the only artist I can think of whose coloring quality I actually like a lot. This Elektra is divine, and even more special given that Daryl gifted it to you. Karma will repay his kindness forward this Friday on The EXP!

Beautiful - everything McKone had at his table was a winner and I kick myself for not grabbing the Green Lantern he had! Congrats!

You don't know how long I have wanted
To win with bids and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
And sai was going to tell you tonight
Now it’s gifted to be my own
And my love for you be still Daryl
Alone
Till now I always got by on McKone
Elektra really shared Daryl I met you
And now it chills me to leg bone
How do I get you McKone
How do I get you McKone
How do I get you McKone
How do I get you McKone
McKone... McKone...
