Shoot, that sounds better then the truth. Should have gone with that story.

Very nice art. I must confess though that I am confused by the relationship between the art and the passage.When my wife surprised me with a meet and greet at the Whelans home in the US.... it was one of the best moments of my life. While there, Michael was painting this. The colours, the quote, the “dinosaur”, the piece period... I fell in love with. PLUS... It was a work in progress and he shared his insights on it. I had to have it. Alas, he forgot how much I wanted it (I expressed it but not over the top) and he sold it for his Kickstarter for $5500. Fast forward and here comes one of my closest buddies with a deal. Thanks Tim for helping me bring this one home.

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.

I wear gloves for valuable books.Thanks everyone for the kind words.Much love for the cotton glovesBy pure luck, the letter matches my lettered Double day years:
Regarding the gloves, about a year or so ago, I bought some books from David and while taking pictures to post to this thread I noticed some fingerprints on one of the books. (I think it was CP Salem's Lot gift edition). I was about 90% sure they came from me, and I was a little embarrassed to take the photos. Since that time I decided I would wear gloves when handling my books. I even where them when reading any hardback books.
As it turned out Yegor also wore gloves in the photos he sent me before I committed to buy the IT lettered. I am sometimes surprised when I see pictures of high value books taken without gloves.

Me too. And I never asked! I wonder if Tim can chime in. He may know
Hopefully Tim will. There is a cool backstory as to how and when and where the piece was done.

Let's wait for Tim.

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.
Thank you buddy! Mean that

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?
