Locke and Key: Crown of Shadows #2 cover (2009) - Kinsey Locke

It was worth getting redirected to a speed dating site all morning just to see this at the end of the day! Congrats

A really cool piece of art from an even cooler comic book series. So much fun!

Sounds like you had a GREAT art day.  Congrats on finding this super cool (and rare) piece!

Deadly beautiful.  Love the spotted blacks, especially the claws.  The blue lines add some contrasting color OA magic. 

Luv the Slashing and Cut-Throat Inks!! Dynamic Use of Shadows!!......Congrats!!

Great and rare get.

Great cover. Fear doesn't look to scary for the kids.

Stunning  love this series

Congrats on adding such a wonderfully drawn cover from a book you love! Great cover design.

It's always fun to land a piece by an artist who doesn't sell a lot of his/her art.  I am surprised he didn't keep this one.  Really nice addition here!!!

Congrats on such an exceedingly rare acquisition!

Nice!

Something is Killing the Children before something was killing them? Awesome page and love the monster.

Wow! A cover from Locke & Key? That is a rare beast indeed! And it's such a beautifully drawn cover. Stunning work by Gabriel Rodriguez. I love this image of Kinsey's fears manifesting in a gruesome monster. The monster is rendered in such exquisite detail. Rodriguez's inks are superb. Interesting that the monster is more intricately rendered than Kinsey herself. Amazing pick-up, congrasts!

Haven't read L&K but maybe I should after your description. I would certainly grab a copy based on the cover along as it is magnificently done. Congrats - having friends like this is what the hobby is about. I am very happy for you James!

Great!

Hot diggity DAMN!!!! You have so many unicorns they aren't even rare anymore! 

This is too cool
