Ah, this one. I was happy to snag this one from Chris's web store along with his customary offer of "complimentary very slow shipping" in late February. I didn't think much when I hadn't seen it after a month. I know standard shipping from some artist's can take forever, but I got a little concerned when I saw a new drop in his store, so I sent an email. Chris responded practically immediately and followed up several times over the course of the afternoon while I tracked down where the art had ended up.

In an event that will surprise no one who has ever visited my local post office, they had the package sitting right behind the counter for a month and never attempted to re-deliver or leave me notice.

Oh, well. It's here now and it is truly sublime. And I got to email back and forth with Chris Bachalo, so that's a win too.
