Thanks a bunch, Jeff. I certainly never mind an A's bias!

And from one Operation: Mindcrime fan to another, thank you so much for your kind words, Tony. I'm honored that you think so highly of the work, I really am.

I seem to have had a nice reception to the Berg piece, though my agent wasn't a fan of it at all when I dropped it off with him today. I guess it goes to show that you can't please everybody!!

I reeeeeally like the Berg as well. Probably my favorite of those most recent four. Tons of depth to that one, although they are ALL just magnificent ;)

I see that I wasn't the onl yone to comment on the eyes, but . . .

there are a lot of variables involved.


Maybe the camera didn't capture them precisely, maybe resizing the image for web posting affected them, maybe they show up differently on differnt monitors, etc., etc.

Obviously what is important is the actual painting in front of you, so you are the best judge, and based on your work, you sure have a good eye for these things.


Once again, GREAT stuff and thanks for sharing them.



P.S. If you mentioned it I missed it, but what size are those four paintings?

GKreindler 01-20-2011 09:32 AM

timzcardz, you may indeed be right, but I should still give it another good look. I definitely don't want Collins to seem cross-eyed or anything. Well, unless he is, of course.

Anywho, the Berg painting is 11"x14", while all of the others are 9"x12".

Hey guys,

I forgot to post this recent one, too...

Saw Graig last night at the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.) dinner in NYC and was lucky enough to have won this Mantle painting during their Silent Auction.

I tried to get in front of Strawberry to show him the painting Graig did of him on my iPhone, but he was mobbed before I had a chance.

More ballplayers should get an opportunity to see how he represents them on canvas.

great pickup jacksons.

I was at the BAT Dinner as well. Too bad we didn't have a chance to say hello.


Graig is an incredible artist and a very cool guy.

GKreindler 01-27-2011 10:10 PM

You guys are really too nice. For serious.

It was wonderful seeing you at the dinner, jacksons. I do wish we could have chatted more, but I suppose it can be a bit tough at events like that. Then again, I think I was just still in shock that I was sitting next to Tommy John - perhaps my mind wasn't where it should have been.

Hey all,

I said I'd be posting some in-progress shots a while back, but hadn't gotten around to it until now. All of these guys are in various states of completion, but will hopefully be completed sometime in the near future. Or at least, I hope so. Either way, I still have a lot of catching up to do.

Anywho, excuse the crappy photography and sh*tty Photoshop jobs, and I hope you dig 'em all. Or some. Maybe one?
