I first saw this while @ SDCC 2013 and fell in love with it. Since this was the second day of the con, Aspen had yet to announce it. All Mike would tell me was it was for a cool secret project :)
I didn't pull the trigger on buying it during SDCC, and it started to haunt me. I began to fear I'd missed a once in a lifetime opportunity to buy it. So I reach out to Mary who told me it was for still for sale. But then some unexpected life events happened and I was unable to afford it.
Fast forward a couple of weeks and I noticed Mary posted on Facebook, they are running a limited time sale on OA to celebrate their second child. To my surprise this piece was included in the sale, so I jumped @ the chance to by it.
Thanks again Mike and Mary for making this awesome piece available.
