Description

25x35 in
enamel on aluminum

As I wrote, elsewhere (see the entry under "Iron Man by KMNDZ"), 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 that sweet, sweet Iron Man piece, which was my #1 choice.

The "Super Sentinel" by Max Grundy that was exhibited there was a close tie for second place, but it had already been sold (the one from the Stan Lee exhibit 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), but was I interested in it. [Yes] And I could get it soon but not right away, because it was in a gallery [OK].

And, oh, by the way… the person who bought the first Super Sentinel, from the Gallery 1998 show: JJ Abrams. [yowzer] After all... he does have a production company called (wait for it) "Bad Robot"
