I think this original painting was up at the "It Wanders West" show in November of 2008 at g1988 Los Angeles...

Yup, here's a pic:

Nope. I got shipping confirmation on Friday (they shipped same day as the sale...mine was one of the first orders in, judging by the number) and it came today. ZeroFriends is always 1-2 days for me, mostly because I'm about 20 miles away.

4-inch Uline, sandwiched between two big pieces of tissue paper so no part of the print was touching anything but tissue. The invoice was added later, after the print was in the tube - that was the big problem with the last one, right?

If you're a gorilla I imagine it would be possible to damage the print taking it out of the tube. Anyone that does, though, is probably a moron that rushed it. The print looks good.

mine arrived today. pretty bad edge damage 3/8" into the left side of the print. tissue paper alone should not replace kraft paper. it appears the print was free to move back and forth within the tube, and the tissue paper obviously isn't going to brace its impact sloshing back and forth.

hopefully they have replacements.
