Craig,
Congrats regarding your new addition and your new artwork. I am looking forward to the first painting to come out with your signature and both your sons fingerprints......LOL I'll take that one.

Thanks, Bill. I'm doing everything in my power to make sure neither of them destroys anything. So far, so good. We'll see how long it lasts.

Congrats Graig! All very good news! You are a better man than me.....I was "one and done" with Millie. Finding the energy at 49 is a challenge!

I love the designs of uniforms throughout the history of the game, and you did a great job sampling the career of one of the greats of the game.

Thanks, Chris! I can�t say I�m a braver man...perhaps more insane? I�m soooo tired.

icollectDCsports, thank you so much!! I�m still really mad at myself though, as I discovered only after the poster went to the printers that Josh had a short stint with the Cuban Stars, and even a photograph I could have worked from. Le sigh...

Hi Graig,
Congrats on the birth of your second child. So cool!!

Thanks so much, Scott!! It's definitely cool. And insane. And all the feelings!!

Hey all,

Has it really been this long since I've posted anything here? Jeez, the great Photobucket fiasco from a few months back really curtailed things - I can't tell you how depressing it was to see every single image on this thread vanish. Well, I'm back for now (at least for the year), and I'm hoping that in that time I'll be able to switch everything over to a server I don't have to pay for. In the meantime though, I'll also try to get back to posting here with some regularity. That is, if y'all still want to see what's been going on.

On the personal note, I'm now a father of two, a two-and-a-half year old and an almost six-month old. Both boys. They're amazing. And insane. Becoming a father has been one of the hardest things I've ever had to do in my life, especially coming from somebody who works in a pretty insular field. With that said, getting into yet another routine to try and paint has been challenging to say the least. But, in the words of Mayo, I got nowhere else to go.

So, here are some examples of what's been coming out of the studio these past couple of months:

Walter Johnson, 1907, 22" x 28"

Chief Bender, October 24, 1911, 12" x 16"

Babe Ruth, 1915, 20" x 22"

Ty Cobb, 1916, 18" x 18"

Hank Greenberg, Goose Goslin, Charlie Gehringer and Pete Fox, 1935, 29" x 35"

Arky Vaughan, 1935, 16" x 20"

Stan Musial, May 21, 1946, 30" x 44"

Ernie Banks, 1953, 18" x 24"

I think there might be some more that I've missed, but I'll update this thread (finally) as I remember them.

Also, I was given some great press by the nice people at the National Review a few weeks back, which can be seen here:

Anywho, I hope you're all doing well, keeping happy and healthy, and excited for Cleveland (which I should be going to). Also, hopefully you dig some of these! If you have any comments, questions, criticisms or musings you'd like to share, please feel free to do so!

Thanks,

Graig
