Joe Ledbetter is an emerging Los Angeles pop-artist whose work I really enjoy. I first contacted him earlier this year about buying a Q*Bert print he did for Gallery 1988's "I Am 8-Bit" show, but it was sold out before I reached him. Since then I had been waiting for new prints to be released when I received an email from his manager about some new releases. I bought this:  Post-Apocalyptic Surf Bunny
The print arrived today, but there was a problem. Despite the package being marked "Do Not Bend" in several places, it came bent, with the print itself creased across its width in two places - essentially destroying the value of a print limited to 100 issues. I contacted Ledbetter's manager, and she agreed to send me a new print immediately, and she would contact me later about sending the print back so she could turn in the damage to UPS. |
