Those are just crazy man!
How is it possible that you're getting better?
Johnson's stare is out of this world.
Holy crap! Is it me or does Wagner's sweater actually look furry?

Dude. I agree with terjung. I have run out of new adjectives.
Very very special!
Keep up the great work.

Mark

I'm not saying those paintings are lifelike, but I just had a nice conversation with the Walter Johnson...he says hi by the way.

Graig, they are fantastic, then again all your work is.
Was great spending time with you at the National a few weeks ago.

Graig,
I hope you kept good notes on your color mix for "WaJo Blue" because once Johnson fans get a look at that piercing gaze, I think you're going to be doing a lot more "Big Train" portraits!

I think the detail in Johnson's uniform and Wagner's sweater are particularly striking in these. I'm pretty sure that my computer monitor is not 3-D, but I swear those W's on Johnson's uniforms are raised, and can almost feel the fuzzy texture of Wagner's sweater. Nicely done!

Graig - I should add that I had never before purchased any type of sports art (I collect game used bats primarily), but I find your art so compelling that I made the leap. Thanks for bringing our childhood heros to life.

Scott

Those W's are amazing! The comments were so focused on his gaze that I thought I was the only one noticing the patches on the sleeves. And the same goes for the "NY" emblem on Mays' hat, its like you can see the 3D depth in a 2D drawing. Can't stop staring!
