Chris,
Any updates? Have any subjects in mind? Are you staying with baseball related?

If I won, I was considering one of these if, Graig hadn't painted it already?

Tons of choices out there but it would be a great feeling knowing whatever you pick is going to be put to canvas by Graig.

I think a good unibrow Wally Moon would look good

Huge congrats, Chris! This is awesome for you.

If it were me, I'd keep your dialogue between Graig & you private (what painting you're selecting, size, etc), until, and only if, you wish to share your selected painting with the board. To me, it would be a very personal and private thing, once you open it up to the board for opinions, it'll be a free for all. Just my 2 cents.

MVSNYC,

MVS, most who participated, feel a connection with Chris's painting. If he is having any trouble at selecting a photo for his painting, there are many here that would be willing to share their photos and ideas with Chris. Yes he can keep it personal if he wishes, especially the final decision, but it is that connection between all the members who were involved that makes these paintings from the raffle, very special.
To put icing on the cake for Chris, Graig has in the past, and I assume he will do the same again, he will post updated pictures of Chris's painting, and describe the process of how Graig creates his masterpieces. There is no other painter I know, that provides a series of these photos and description that Chris will be getting, and we get to see the process as well. Those pictures are collectible as well and something Chris can share with family and friends when they admire the painting in amazement.
MVS, we started these raffles for the purpose of thanking all the Net54 members, who are the best watch dogs in our sports collectible hobby. One gets to win this painting, the rest at least get the feeling of helping to create it. If it was not for all, the painting would not exist.

Billy, you missed my point...I agree with most of what you said...I know Graig, as well as own an example of his work (which is fantastic). I always love seeing the progress and process of his paintings, as they unfold. I'd LOVE to see that here as well, if Chris is willing to have that shared with us.

My point was, the selection process is something very special and personal (and potentially private). It can be overwhelming to have hundreds (literally) of opinions flying in about what to have Graig paint...THAT part of it, IMO, is the special and very personal part...If he choses to open that up to the board, cool, but I was just warning him that they'll be tons of opinions, and I'm not so sure I'd want that if it were me.

ETA: The raffle was a lot of fun, and a very cool thing for Graig & you to do. Thank you for organizing.

MVS,
Yea, I went a little overboard with my response. But in the first two raffles, the responses were not overwhelming, and once the subject was announced, most of the photos were of the subject that the winners chose, giving them additional choices.
Chris is free then to discuss any photos he will see, with Graig, and the final decision, will be in private, between Chris and Graig. I too recommend to Chris, to make his final decision, in private with Graig.

Chris,
Looking at that picture, you have no phone, all the telephone poles are still laying on the ground.....LOL

Just kidding, that looks great. Looks like you are going to like the new location.

I appreciate what you are saying and also what Bill has illustrated about being inclusive and transparent as well.

I expect to get some thoughtful comments and great suggestions and believe that I will raise some eyebrows with at least one of my options under consideration(pls see my next post for more on that). I look forward to it all
and after having had a great conversation with Graig I am even more determined to pick a subject that resonates with me and one that I will enjoy each and every time I view it.

I like your style Irv!

Perhaps not a surprise to some, I am looking to ask Graig to paint a Toronto Blue Jays image. I grew up in Toronto and have been a Jays fan for 40 years (my Dad took me the team's first ever game in 1977 - i will post pics of my ticket stub and program when my belongings arrive); and worked at the SkyDome/Rogers Centre for over 15 years.

I love baseball. If it's Miami at Milwaukee - and I'm in town - I'm there! Slugfests, pitchers duels, extra innings, Spring Training....love it! I love the sights and sounds, the smells, the cadence of the game and the history.

While there are dozens of paintings of Graig's that I would be humbled to own and each portraying a subject from the pantheon of baseball - Ruth, Aaron, Gerhig, Robinson, Mays - amazing, but when I ask myself these questions - "Can I have a Yankee/Red Sox on my wall and enjoy it?" or "What connection do I have to Mathewson or Cobb?" - I answer "no" and "very little". I know that it may not be a popular choice - but it has to be a Blue Jay. Best part? Graig is into it too!

I have a short list and would love to hear the board's feedback. If you know of any other angles of these images pls share. Likewise if you think Dave Stieb's no-hitter should be considered - I'm all ears. If you hate the idea, that's OK too. I'm a big boy. I can take it.

Joe Carter ends the 1993 WS with one swing. I was there!








Devo's Catch in Game 3 of 1992 WS (it was a triple play and I don't care what the umps said!). To note: I own the jersey Devon was wearing



Bell clinched the first AL East Pennant in '85 (missed this game but was at Game 7 of the ALCS - damn you Jim Sundberg)





Bautista's Flip - 2015 ALDS. I know, a lot of people think he disrespected everyone including the Pope, but I and many of my fellow Jays fans see it clearly as a cathartic wiping away of 22 years of playoff drought. Also, I collect Jose specifically and have a jersey, bat, and 75% of his career HR game tix)




Let me hear ya!

I really like that top picture of Joe Carter. It would be an amazing paining.

With owning the jersey Devo was wearing in the picture of his catch it would also be nice. It would be a great combo displayed next to each other.

Chris - Congratulations and I hope you really enjoy the resulting masterpiece Graig will create for you!

IMHO, a Joe Carter reaction shot HAS to be the selection.

As a Braves' fan, I would deem it a great favor if you would call as little attention as possible to the 1992 series...the 1993 World Series is the one you want!

We're all looking forward to seeing the results...thanks for sharing the process with us.

-Raymond

Thanks Raymond! I don't know if the world is ready for "Wild Thing's" mullet to be captured on canvas for posterity

While I like that first picture of Carter, I would probably go for this one. I just love the motion within the stillness of the photo. Plus the ball being there is pretty cool as well.

Chris,
You are one avid Blue Jay fan, or I should say passionate fan. I think you are making a great choice. When a fan is as dedicated as you are, how can it be another team. This is all about making a dream come true, this is yours, enjoy.
How many Blue Jays photos are out there?

Thanks Bill. There are some nice images/events - Alomar with his arms up from the 1993 ALCS; Singer's first pitch in 1977; 1992 WS clinch mob; Winfield kills a seagull

Moving is exhausting! I didn't physically shift our furniture etc to Vancouver but I did fly with my 15-month old daughter and 16 year old cat while my wife drove the 11 hour, 700 mile route through the Rockies (with a childhood friend and a few precious items in our car - for the road trip experience of it all).

"Camping"' in the new place until Wednesday when the truck with our stuff arrives. I apologize to all for being less available than one might be after such a win - but I assure you that I am extremely excited about this turn of good luck and ready to dive in to process with the board coming along with me.

First I must share a shot of Vancouver taken a few blocks from my new home.
