Very neat! Congrats.
For me, the Alex McVey saga has reached a most happy ending...YEARS (seriously) ago I was introduced to Alex by a member here as Alex was in some difficulty for which I extended myself and helped him out. Alex's promise was to repay me within a year at a favorable return....well that deadline came and went and all my efforts to "converse" with Alex fell dead...email, by phone etc....nothing for YEARS. Then I got him to respond to me on Facebook with promises to pay me back....that still did not happen and he went silent for months at a time. I finally got Alex to agree to do some original artwork for me. I asked for a piece myself and one I could donate to Haven as a fundraiser. He agreed but still nothing came. I pestered him another 2 years until finally a couple weeks ago he told me he was done and that he was shipping my artwork. It finally arrived yesterday and I can say I am MOST PLEASED.
Alex, if you read this, I'm sorry I "outed" you here right now but this never should have taken so long. In the end though, you made things right and I appreciate that integrity with promises made came through in the end.
So, Stephen King fans, below are the 3 (three) original pieces that I received yesterday. All are 16" by 20" and original art on solid board. I have a personal favorite of the three but it is NOT the one I actually commissioned....still have to decide if I am going to offer one to Haven for fundraising...would be a tough decision. I'd like to hear from you all how you rate them yourself (I know everyone is different in what they like).

2- RF with Crow
3- RF with Trashcan Man

David, I think AC/DC answers which one is best...

Very Interesting! Thanks so far for all the votes! It seems (so far) Oy by a landslide!
Here is the backdrop...I asked for a Trash Can Man piece...Alex said he was having trouble with just Trashie and could he add Flagg, I said sure. He told me he would do a separate RF piece and I thought, great! Oy was a last minute addition on his part! So, Trash/RF was the one I commissioned, leaving art totally up to him. I'm partial to the RF one with Oy a VERY close 2nd. I really LIKE Trash/RF but of the 3 my least favorite and THAT is the one I asked him to do...go figure.
Trashcan
Oy
RF
That order.
Oy standing on the stone penis is definitely my fave!
OY is definitely my favorite!

Thanks to all and especially you Billbo.
Hope all is well and congrats on the pending addition to the family.
"Billbo" lol I like it!!! Thank you, fortunately, he gets his looks from others!!!! lol
Edit: You'll most likely laugh, but I have a wooden sign, with "Smaug" carved in that says "Bag End" that hangs outside my house. lol lol At one point, I thought some kids had stolen it and went and bought another. Turns out my wife took the original down!!! Women!!! Sometimes......... lol lol
However, I won. It's still up there and I believe she can't wait until I die and she can take it down!! lol lol
