@TheSpaceshipper when you see art up for auction that’s already been burned into your brain for 30 years. 😳
@TheSpaceshipper I did not expect to win. Now I need to figure out how to get it out of Paris. 😂
@nicole Seriously??
@TheSpaceshipper I believe this is now the single most-expensive thing I own.
The juxtaposition between Alien (my favorite film) and Jodorowsky’s Dune made it impossible to resist.
I remember a different version of this sketch from the supplements in the Alien laserdisc boxed set from the 90’s. I don’t usually give in to nostalgia, but it does carry some weight!
@nicole That's really cool.
@TheSpaceshipper Thanks for the tip!
@nicole I'm sorry you spent so much because of me lol
@nicole haha totally.
