Greatest Birthday Gift...EVER!

I have to say that I have the most fantastic group of family and friends. I am truly so lucky to have such amazing people in my life. Anydoodles, three days ago was actually my birthday, HUZZAH, and with that, it was full of some of the most fantastical/nerdtastical birthday gifts EVER from said family and friends. Which included and are not limited to half of the Toy Story Replica collection, an official S.H.I.E.L.D badge, $23, and a gift that made me scream like a little girl watching the Twilight movie (awesome visual right?). Now who gave me such a wonderful gift you ask? If you were guessing my parents, WRONG TREBEK. Ironically when my parents did see this glorious gift, even they were jealous. Digression aside, the real winner for the top spot of my birthday winner winner chicken dinner gift list goes to my boss from Marvel, C.B. Cebulski. Boy was he sneaky about getting it. Like he truly did his secret Weapon X research to find what I wanted. Working in the Talent Management department, and being the new SVP at Marvel, C.B. pretty much has the power to make any comic book fanboy dream come true, AND HE DID IT FOR MY BIRTHDAY! That in mind, during the summer C.B. and I randomly got into a discussion on our favorite artists, and on my list was Gabriele Dell'Otto. Even looking back now, C.B. even asked who I would like Gabriele to draw. WOW...my mind must have been clouded by some sort of Jedi mind trick. Coooooooool. In the end, with his research done C.B. got the most perfect thing. Please enjoy...

Nick Fury by Gabriele Dell'Otto

Isn't that simply stunning? GAH...DROOL...*faints*

Thanks for a most bodacious drawing Gabriele, and C.B. there is no words to describe my gratitude. None....because I am simply speechless. Just thank you from the bottom of my heart.
