Description

"Super Sentinel II" (2008) by Max Grundy (1977-) 25 x 35 in., enamel on aluminum In 2008, there was a fantastic art tribute to Stan Lee hosted by LA's "Gallery 1998," in which a variety of non-comics artists provided interpretations, sometimes wildly divergent ones, of Marvel characters. I was only able to pick up a sweet, sweet Iron Man piece, by artist KMNDZ, which was my #1 choice. The "Super Sentinel" by Max Grundy that was exhibited at the Stan Lee event was a close tie for second place, but it had already been sold (it was 31x42, enamel on aluminum). I had sent a message to Max, right away, about doing a commission, and we had gone around with that for a few years. When I contacted him in early 2015, I mentioned again that it was the Super Sentinel piece that I had actually wanted and I was bummed that it had been swooped away. Any. How. That little fact had not quite registered with Max, and he wrote back that he had done a second Super Sentinel at about the same time, with a few modifications to the design and the color scheme. It was a bit smaller (25x35 in), but was I interested in it? [Yes] And, oh, by the way… the person who bought the original "Super Sentinel" piece, from the Gallery 1998 show: JJ Abrams. [yowzer]
