Captain America by Steve Rude

Set this piece up with 'The Dude' at the 2009 Phoenix Comicon. I brought a colored bristol board with me and asked for a Captain America...Steve's wife Jaynelle, who's a nice bird herself, got back to me that evening, and said, "Steve would like to take this one home, and send it to you later, is that O.K.? I'm always down with artists actually wanting to work on a piece in the comfort of their own studio, so I quickly nodded yes.

This is Part A of the one of the best decisions I've ever made in this hobby. Part B, wait for it....
