PS It still boggles my mind how one guy (it appears he did them all) painted the entire set under what would have been a very tight deadline. Incredible!

I couldn't agree more Mike. To be honest, I was being lazy posting the question - I have signed prints of Feller & Ford stashed away somewhere...just can't find them right away. When I do find them again, I'll have them framed and on the wall.
The sheer quantity of that job boggles the mind, but when you add in the time constraint, it's truly amazing!
