Hey guys,
Just wanted to hip you to a contest I'm running on Facebook for a FREE painting. You can visit my fan-page from the link in my signature, and for the info: From 12:01 AM EST on Monday, February 14 until 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, February 20, the person who gets the most new people to 'like' my fanpage will win a FREE 9" x 12" player portrait of their choice - currently a $2,400 retail value. That's right, you pick the player, and I'll paint him/her and ship it out to you. Here are the only two rules: 1) Get as many people as you can to click 'like' on my fanpage. 2) Ask the new fans to leave a comment on my wall identifying you, the person who referred them. Those who are newly referred can participate, too! If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message. And don't forget, the contest doesn't start until MONDAY. I can remind y'all about it in a few days if you'd like. Good luck!! Graig |
Artists Opinion
Greg,
You know I am one of your biggest fans...supported by the amazing Cobb batting in Comiskey Park hanging on the wall of my office. We are currently selling some works by Intoy Ginez...I won't compare them to your amazing paintings but As a layman I find them to be very lifelike. Interested in your thoughts.

Graig...not really sure if this was broached before...but I know I cannot afford one of your fantastic paintings but I am sure I could afford a card set (ala Dick Perez) of your paintings...ever given any thought to that? I am fairly certain others would buy them up as well.

Hey Doug! Good to hear from you again. Intoy's stuff is really lovely. I haven't been able to see anything in person, but I've been keeping an eye on his stuff for the past five years, at least. He's got quite a soft touch with his medium, and I have a feeling that photography doesn't do it any good, as a lot of information probably gets lost and obscured by the camera. And since most of the pieces seem to be pretty large, I'm sure there's plenty to get lost in. I imagine that you guys will be able to sell him well.
Hey Joshua, I would definitely be into something like the Perez-Steele set. I suppose it would all depend on who would be the ones to actually take on the project. I think having the Hall of Fame in Dick's corner probably really helped him with that whole project. I loved Perez' book too, and I would LOVE to have something like that done down the line...I just hope that at some point we can get some publishers to have faith in that sort of thing. |

Hey guys,
Just thought I'd share what's on the easel these days, for those of you who care of course! The first couple of paintings are all commissions that are a bit overdue, especially the one of David Tyree (Sorry, Akshay). Though, there are a few of the smaller 9"x12"s that are just being done with no specific owner in mind. And none of these paintings are finished, so I got a lot to do! http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...dler/Tyree.jpg David Tyree, February 3, 2008 (Super Bowl XLII) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ler/Ruth-3.jpg Babe Ruth, June 25, 1920 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ndler/Reds.jpg Cincinnati Reds, October 21, 1976 (Game 4, WS) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ehrigDiMag.jpg Joe DiMaggio, Fiorello LaGuardia, Lou Gehrig, October 5, 1938 (Game 1, WS) http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ndler/Mays.jpg Willie Mays, 1954 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ler/Keeler.jpg Willie Keeler, 1912 http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b1...ndler/Case.jpg George W.
