I've witnessed some really touching gestures on here since joining but this tops them all. So sorry for your loss sir. This type of thing proves this is so much more than just a forum for art.

The print is going back to LA. It was shipped to me during the holidays and UPS somehow mixed things up, and shipped the print back to the sender.

When I get packages from UPS, I use UPS My Choice to have it sent to a UPS location to hold for pick up. This has worked for years until now.

I checked the tracking number the day it was supposed to be delivered it said, "Out for delivery" Checked 15 minutes later it said, "The receiver does not want the product and refused the delivery. / The package will be returned to the sender."

I then called UPS and asked why it was being sent back...it was never delivered. And why would I refuse the package.....After almost an hour of being transferred to other departments and explaining the situation to each person they couldn't give me an answer to why it was being sent back. They couldn't even locate it on the truck. The only thing I was told that made some sense is that, during the holidays there are so many packages going through, it could have gotten mixed up. It was a complete mess.

Sgolby is a true gent and will send it back to me in the next day or two.

*Edit*
It was sent out today.  I will check everyday to make sure it gets to me.

thanks for the update!  glad this is still moving forward

It was moving forward, then it went backwards, but now it's moving forward again.  That print is going to have one epic story to tell.

[Opie]

I'm really looking forward to seeing it's journey thank you all again!!!!!

[jettad]

Hoping it can get to me before the end of the month, if it does I can take it to Iceland, and then my brother can take it back too the UK and post it on from there.

[Stoko]

Has it been to Sydney or New York yet? Or the metropolis of Preston, Lancashire?

[Opie]

It started in New York with fed

[flushdraw]

I can do Trondheim, Norway. Also I'm going on a trip to Singapore and Vietnam in march/april and should be able to take some decent photos if it fits the timeline!

[thisisanton]

Update: Print arrived safely in LA. Will take it around town in the next week or two and ship it off the next member.

[thisisanton]

The print will be going to San Francisco tomorrow to continue it's adventure. Here are some pictures of the print around Los Angeles.  Had a blast being a tourist for the day.  Thanks, Opie!

Hollywood sign

Chinese Theater, hand prints of celebrities, and Hollywood stars.




El Capitan Theater

Came across a Retna and Shepard Fairey mural on the way to lunch.




Since I saw the other murals, I had to stop by the Banksy in downtown.

A nice 75 degree day in January, makes it a perfect time to go to the beach in Santa Monica.


And the print stuck in traffic. Because there is always traffic here.

Amazing!!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!!!!!!!! I am still genuinely dumbfounded by all of you generous people. If I appear quiet, it is purely because I have no idea how to take this all in.

I think I am the last person here in the US. But I could be wrong.
