Re: Original Dead Men

What've you got there in your poke? By God! A Smith's Tip! Tha's a good tip. Why, you're no bigger than a corn nubbin, what're you doing with a tip like that?

Hello Rod,

About prices for stripes, did you show your friend the pics of my artwork, ranging from $200 - $350? I'm price the Rick Griffin piece at $400.00.
Does that sound reasonable?
