Best news I've had all day.

So far, the goal will be to have at least one painting on each page, with the panoramics taking up two. I'll have narratives for all of them, as well as the title, size, year completed, and if he/she wishes, the name of the collector who owns the piece. The book will have at least 50 images, and we're definitely hoping for more, especially since ideally, we'd love it to be an 11" x 17" coffee table thing (!!!).

Though in the end, I guess we'll see what's what when we're further along in the process.

Color me excited!

Awesome!
Graig, thanks for including my Vandy. I'm stoked!

GKreindler 11-24-2013 09:14 PM

You're welcome, Scott! I can't think of having the book WITHOUT the Vandy.

Graig,
First off., congratulations, it is well deserved.
Second, it's about damn time.

Can I reserve my autographed copy now?

FYI, if you are going to use my painting, feel free to use my name as well.

Mark.

Thanks, Mark! I'm not exactly sure whether the Gehrig will be in there, but it's definitely on the list of contenders.

Don't send congrats yet - save 'em for if and when this thing actually comes to fruition. I'm super stoked for it, but since it's still so early in the process, I can't get too excited yet.

But all of my phalanges are crossed. :)

That Vander Meer just gets better everytime I look at it. Just a beautiful portrayal, and a perfectly composed image.

I know it's not up for vote, but sure hope that Jackie Robinson with the "shadowy background" makes it into the Book as well :)

Graig,
Count me in as well for a copy of your book. Your work continues to amaze me. I love to see your latest work that you post on twitter and share it often with my friends. The last friend said "that's a painting?" Please do list me as the collector of 1939 Gehrig pose if it makes the book.

Thanks so much for the kind words, guys.

Mark, it's definitely in contention. Hopefully it'll find it's way in there one way or another. I'm definitely happy that Vandy will make the cut - I still think it's such a cool image.

Jamie, thanks for the permission. Whenever we figure out exactly which ones we want to use, I'm sure we'll be sending out a lot of emails about the whole venture, asking for permission and what-not, and detailing what the whole process entails. Or at least, I would imagine that's what will happen.

But regardless, I am thrilled you still like your painting. And thank you for continuing to share my work with your friends!

I agree with Mark on the Jackie Robinson as well.
That has to be one of your most awe-inspiring paintings, Graig...

GKreindler 11-28-2013 04:29 PM

Aww, thanks Scott. I liked it a lot too, so I'm hoping it gets in there. I know we'll have at least one Jackie image in there, but a horizontal might work a little better design-wise. Or we might be able to get them both to work. I guess it remains to be seen.

I still wonder whether the stuff I'm finishing up over the next few months will make it, too. Hopefully I can get the '27 Yanks painting done for that.
