Thanks Jerome for posting the eBay listing for this. Turns out it’s not a first printing but still cool as hell and my first “Steve” inscription.

Let's wait for Tim.
Youth is Wasted on the Young....
Rather than listen to me, I'll defer to Mr. Whelan to give you his unscripted perspective on the piece.

If you are only interested in learning about BONE OF CONTENTION, the dialogue starts at the 4:30 mark. That being said, I'd recommend taking the 10 minutes to enjoy the entire clip.
This piece, along with several other palette gremlins, was featured at the Opening Exhibition of BEYOND SCIENCE FICTION a couple of years back. Several TDT Members were there and credit to wolfher for his video prowess to capture the highlights.
RF, feel free to provide additional candor as well based on your discussion with Bob from Baby Tattooville.
Enjoy and congratulations Kris. It aligns well with your collection focus.
I'll have to check the facts, but IIRC, Bob Self from Baby Tattooville conducted an "event weekend" ~2008 at the Mission Inn in Riverside, California. Michael Whelan, other artists and a select few "collectors" attended.

That was where Whelan either started, or the seed was planted for the piece.

The plan was to save some money for non-book purchases. Until I came across a great deal that I couldn’t pass up. So, I’m very happy to add Cujo to the shelves.

Thats a great one, Brian. Congratulations!
I wouldn’t be able to pass on that either! It looks kind of like an Easton Press book. Did they do this one?
