About the item:
Just a moment, Captain, sir. I'll explain what happened. Your revered Admiral Nogura invoked a little-known, seldom-used "reserve activation clause." In simpler language, Captain, they drafted me! Dr. McCoy
Measuring 12 by 18 inches, this page from The Star Trek Book of Friendship and features Kirk and Dr. McCoy as he first beams aboard the refitted USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Perhaps the most humorous moment in the film, the scene is painted by hand by J.K. Woodward and also signed by Woodward as well as William Shatner. In excellent condition, it will be shipped with the utmost care. Please note- the cover to the book as well as the finished pages (with text, etc.) are shown for reference. They are not included with the purchase. Purchase includes the original artwork only. And, again, it is an original painting signed by the artist and William Shatner himself (signed by Shatner at his last Dragon Con appearance).

No third party is involved. Further, art sketches - and most published original art I sell - were obtained directly from the artist themselves.
