AWESOME Birthday gift from RANKIN

Some of you might remember that I had received a call from Rankin's assistant and Post Production Manager about 2 weeks ago in which I was told that Rankin would like to wish me all the best of luck and a very happy birthday in advance (see also here).

Finally this morning at 8:30 a.m. an Express Courier came to my house and handed me over the package from Rankin.

Rankin did not only sign an original print (10 inch x 14 inch/25 cm x 35 cm) of the current "Madonna & Crew love H&M" campaign but did also enclose a copy of his book "Celebritation" (see also here) which he also signed on the first page.

This is really an awesome and outstanding birthday gift to me since I'm a HUGE fan of Madonna and Rankin's work.

What surprised me most is that Rankin had paid 28.14 British Pounds for Express Delievery to Germany although my birthday is still a few days ahead (September 18th).

Now I will get Rankin's print professionally framed in an art gallery and hang it up in my living room.

Best,
Stephan

Dear Volante,

yeah, I'm EXTREMELY happy with this birthday gift, especially because RANKIN usually doesn't sign anything at all.

And to add an original print of the current "Madonna & Crew loves H&M" campaign to my Madonna collection is just another highlight. I'm still jumping and down! {liam}

I know. :wink: Nicole's (Taxi_06) birthday is next week too, so I guess we should all met and have a HUGE birthday bash! {drunkard}

Best,
Stephan

Hi Stephan {up}

Fabulous success {clap} I was wondering whether you had received this yet :D

It was really nice of him to pay all that postage, but I guess he can afford it :wink:

Thanks for posting, I'm turing green with envy :D :mrgreen:

Hi Ian,

oh yeah, he can definately afford to pay for Express Delievery. :lol:

I nearly fainted when I opened the package since this is one of the images I liked most out of the "Madonna & Crew love H&M" campaign. {love}

Hopefuly the art gallery is quick in framing the print professionally. :wink:

Best,
Stephan
