Description
I met Marie at the 2001 SDCC. I had hoped to get a sketch from her, but she was so far behind that she simply couldn't take on any more sketches for the day. She asked that I come back again the next day. Alas, it was my only day at the event. She took down my name and address and said she would try to send me a sketch. Two years pass...I receive a 4x6 card in the mail from Marie. :) She appologized for the delay, and assured me that though it had been a very long time, she would indeed get a sketch out to me. The card had a cute little doodle of DD sniffing Marie with the caption, "You smell late!". LOL! Nearly another year passes, and low and behold I receive a small package in the mail, and this wonderful full color sketch is inside! I MUST stress that I never expected to receive anything from Ms. Severin. She was completely swamped at the show, and I hardly would expect her to continue drawing sketches for the SDCC after she'd already left and gone home! THANK YOU SO MUCH MARIE! This little drawing is one of my very favorite pieces in my collection. I cherish it!

Congrats again on scoring this one! I have never known Marie to do drawings for anyone except for a buddy of mine but that's because he's friends with her and even then it took a year!!
