It was many, many years ago, and I don't remember specific details. But I remember that this piece was somehow involved with a guy buying Campbell original art from another collector, and him (the guy) posting the art on CAF and saying that the package arrived to him with the art inside having been stolen (I remember the guy saying something like it was sent in a thin sheet of packing material, he didn't notice the top of it having been opened with a razor until after he signed for it, and that he could see how the art was taken out of the package when he did open it completely). The guy did make it a point to say that he believed the collector/seller wasn't trying to scam him by sending an empty package without the art, so we were all being led to believe that the theft was just a random mail theft (the guy did say he was able to get his money back through USPS' insurance).


Then, after the guy posted the image to CAF and made the comments about the theft, Campbell somehow got notified of it, and the guy said he (Campbell) was going to create a new Baroness piece for him. So either this is the piece that was "stolen" (the guy could have been lying about everything for all we know) OR this is the piece Campbell drew for him as a replacement because it was stolen - I just don't remember =)

 

Whichever piece this is, it's still one of my favorites of all Baroness art, and Campbell art, in general!


That was my story, after buying the sketchbook that this was in from Campbell at a sdcc, I went back to him and asked if I could buy this being a HUGE Baroness fan, he said he gave it to Russell Sheath as he was a big fan and supporter. I contacted Russell, he lives in Scotland, and asked if I could buy it from him which he said he was interested at the time to sell but will let me know if he does, I think it was less than a year later he offered it to me for 2k, I gladly accepted and had the package picked up by FedEx and told him how to fill out the customs paperwork etc, he didn't do anything right and it got stuck in customs for a month, it finally cleared I received it next day signed for it and noticed when I went to open, the top was slit open and inside the Masonite boards was just a plastic sheet that would have held the art. I was devastated, I contacted the driver, Russell, nothing, and fedex basically gave me the run around for 9 months before I got my money back. Campbell found out and offered to do another piece which I got during sdcc it was the tall baroness on red paper. All was great. A few years later I get contacted by a collector that had it when she came across my story and I come to find out Russell sold it to her. I never did get the full story from Russell, if he made a copy or if he just played it off.. I don't know, he never contacted me back or defended himself when I blasted him.. my guess a total scammer. I was always offered the piece before it was sold again but never could afford it when it was available. It is nice to see at least it is not lost or destroyed like I thought it was.. it was my favorite Baroness he ever did, I love the one he made me but I had major spinal surgery and I had to sell almost everything I owned to get by and that Baroness is now gone too.. I hope one day I will be able to get something again, but I am a ways off before my life is back on track.. it hasn't been an easy time this past 15 years.

I remember seeing this at a las vegas show years ago for $800, I guess with the increase of campbell's art, I really should have gotten this. Great piece, congrats.
