Description

OAX was the you-know-what! Friends, art, galleries, late night spirits�the whole nine. VERY sleep deprived when I got home but all worth it!

And this was one of my auction wins. Uko doing his thing with one of my fave dynamic duos here in T�Challa and Ororo. And we got mohawk look Ororo, which is always fun, especially as a kid and new comic reader of the �80s when this was her look.

Great composition with those poses and the colors took it over the top. BP, with an all black costume, is basically a silhouette, with a little ornamentation. So I love how, in colored pieces, different artists render said silhouette, including the powered up green hues claws here. Did I mention mohawk Storm already? :) Got that electric charge in her right hand, and both heroes with that eye glint going across horizontally. Then the background. I asked Uko the next day about it, and he said he loves masks, especially with an African aesthetic, so he decided to make that the background. Large mask at top left and smaller shots at bottom right. Also got the prelim! See in additional images.

Happy to have won this piece, no doubt, and can�t wait �til another OA get together! Thank you, Bill, Kasra, and team for facilitating. �Til next time, folks!
