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 feel your pain man, it is a crappy feeling. Good luck trying to retrieve it. Maybe there were security cameras?
HAHAHA!!! I love it. When are we going to see more liberty meadows?? Preferably the next hardcover?
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.
This is the definitive Black Cat. Best image I have seen of her. I am sad I had to let this one go, just didn't have the funds needed.
My god, your collection is amazing. You must be doing well...got any job openings?? :)
Very nice. i am sure it was worth every penny......or hundred dollar bills
Too bad he didn't finish this up, it would have looked awesome with the wings. Great piece though.
