Jason, you own you the original artwork for that page?!? How did you get your hands on that?!? That is awesome!

Last year I met Brad Walker at Florida Supercon and got to talking with him, his wife and Dustin Weaver (artist on SHIELD).
Brad is SUPER COOL and I bought that inked page from him- the same month it was on the stand!
Thank God for my roommate! I spent my half of the rent on that (Really, it was only three bills- Brad actually wondered if he'd sell all the art he brought- luckily I got to him on the very first day!)
I got to BS with Brad for about an hour- he told me how he really referenced real raccoons for Rocket instead of making him look too annthromorphic...and how he really tries to ink his own art- everything else looks kinds messed up to him but time constraints sometimes for the issue- meaning that he'll have the penciled page and the inker the inked page (but not in my page's case).

Best of all, he'll be here for this year's Supercon on my birthday (July 4th!) and I plan on buying a couple of more pages from him!
Really, that page is the highlight of my collection- custom framed, on my wall- right next to my Tony Harris Starman (One of my alltime favorite series).

A Groot RR two pack would indeed be incredible but I fear it's a dream- they likely are not well known enough for that....but then, that giant Skrull got his head blown off by Nick fury after one page, so who knows?
