Joseph Bodner (January 16, 1925 - May 28, 1982) was an American painter. He was born in Florence Township, New Jersey and served in the United States Army Air Forcesduring World War II. After the war, he studied at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California where he specialized in illustration and fine art. He often chose the vanishing West and white stallions as favorite subjects but his painting "The Resurrection of Jonathan," which was exhibited at the motion picture premiere of Jonathan Livingston Seagull, is probably his best known work. As an illustrator, in 1978 he collaborated with Bruce Lee on the first volume of his Fighting Method martial arts books.

Bodner died in 1982 and was interred in the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.

Ships in 24 hours!

Please be advised I do require immediate payment within 48 hours from time of purchase.  I only ship internationally through eBay’s Global Shipping program.  Please ask questions before bidding and not after.  I take the same amount of time and care packing all items.  If require specific domestic packing requirements or expedited mail please ask before bidding.  I don't mind doing but will require extra money for variation in shipping requirement and/or materials.  I will ONLY ship the purchased item to the registered address used upon payment.  eBay does not cover items shipped to alternative address’s so I am unable to send to any other address.  If you pay I have to ship your item in 24 hours or eBay will penalize my account.  So please ask about delayed shipping before bidding or purchasing item.  If item weighs more than one pound please DO NOT use a PO Box upon payment.  Fedex may be used for shipment and they do not ship to PO Box addresses.

Please understand that on less expensive items I may not have the time to go to the shelves, find the item and take the time to report back to you.  On many of the items listed the profit margin is less than a dollar.  I hope you understand it clearly isn’t worth the time in labor.  On books, cds, dvd’s, do a google search before contacting me and you may find out what you were needing to know!  There are NO RETURNS on Factory Sealed Cd’s, Video Games, or DVD’s if the item has been opened.  DVD’s may have price stickers on Jewel cases or factory shrink wrap.  If an open dvd or blu ray includes a digital copy I do not know if works or not. If I test it it won’t work for you!

Item MUST be returned in the exact same condition as detailed in auction. If the item is factory sealed it must be returned factory sealed. If tags on item must be returned with tags still attached. 

You are getting what you see photographed and described in the listing.  Unless it is a stock photo of course then please refer to the description.  Do not assume the item comes with anything other than what is described or photographed. 

On auction lots I will NOT sell the item lower than the opening bid.  Often the opening bid on an auction lot is our cost on the item.  On Buy it Now items of course feel free to make an offer if there is a make an offer option.

If you are in California you are required to pay Sales tax.  I will not take it out of the cost of the item if you ask.  Sorry I wish I didn’t have to pay taxes too!  =-)

If you make an offer on an item eBay shows me the City/State I will be shipping the item to.  I often accept the other due to shipping region on heavier items.  If you will need me to ship the item to a different state please notify me before making the offer.  I reserve the right to cancel your purchase if your shipping address is different than your offer address.  Sorry shipping gets expensive and I’m often re-selling on small margins.

Thanks!
