Description
I went to OAX 2026 with no Larkin homage pieces targeted. This is not the norm, as I usually like to align these commissions with conventions I attend – either setting up, picking up, starting the conversation with an artist about possibly adding to the theme, etc. I tried to do a few pre-show setups, but nothing worked out, so I did not expect to add anything this year. In speaking with a collector at the show on Saturday, I learned that Walt was taking quick commissions via a line each day. Of course, I had to try for myself and see if Walt would do a piece for me and, and sure enough, it worked out that I was early enough in line to get something done. It was a blast hanging with Josh and Malvin in the line (and for the 11x17 paper assist from Dave K), and seeing Wal knock this out was a highlight of the show for me. It may not be as polished and/or finished as many in the series, but it is pure 100% Walt and I love the piece. I captured a few pics (with the help of aforementioned friends) and recorded a video (with Walt’s consent). Enjoy! (working on the video to load – check back later – sorry)

If you haven’t attended an OAX show, and you collect and/or appreciate comic art, I would highly recommend considering the show for future attendance. Bill, Kasra and crew put on a great show with lots to look forward to seeing/doing – it’s a wonderful experience for art loving fans and collectors.

You went from zero Larkin homage prospects to getting possibly the most special and unique homage possible.  What an "incredible" score.  Congrats!

From nothing lined up to a Walt Simonson piece.  You couldn't have planned it better!

Great to get a Simonson piece, with so much character in the face. And nice to put a face to the name, Dave, from one of your additional images/photos.

This is definitely the thing to do at an OAX with a relaxed atmosphere to let Simonson's creativity come forth on his own take.
