POISON IVY by Noah Salonga

The artist, Noah Salonga, is largely unfamiliar to me. 
I knew he lived in the Philippines, had done some inking 
for Marvel, and had drawn some Xena and Red Sonja pages 
for Dynamite. He did solid, respectable work, but nothing 
dazzling.
 
It's extremely difficult for anyone to be dazzling. 
I've never managed it.
 
But I was dazzled when Salonga's rep, Kirk Dilbeck, put 
this "Poison Ivy" original up for sale on CAF. Through 
chance, I saw it almost as soon as it was posted -- and 
immediately inquired if it was still available.
