…but these fan photos sat in my inbox for the last two years and I didn’t know what to do with them and now I do;-)
“Bob,
Hey. I’m a friend of Christos Gage. We met during a comic signing in Worcester earlier in the year. We bought 2 prints and my wife, who is a framer, framed them and we put them up in our kids rooms. They turned out so nice i thought you’d like to see them.
Thanks for the artwork!
Sean in Ct.”
Thanks a whole lot for sharing, Sean!
