Any chance you can get to meet the man, take it—one of the nicest in this crazy industry.

He recreated it line for line in the piece, taking bids at Heritage Auctions right now. This is a part of Dallas Lot #7234 and is currently sitting at $675, very affordable for something like this. There is less than a day left in the bidding. Check out the gorgeous art below.
