Hey all,
I got a few messages about the progress of this guy, so I thought I'd post its progress.  It's almost done, but the next parts will be the hardest. I have to clean up the type and the border line, and even worse, try to make my own moire pattern to mimic the printing process. I'm starting to think that it might be fun to paint a slab around it too... Doing this has been a weird exercise. It's one thing to do a tromp l'oil, but doing one that has a single element with no background has been...well...odd. Though, it did make me think that it might be fun to paint some of the original Horner portraits as they would have looked in the studio. At least with that, I'd be dealing with real light and not have the limitations I've been dealing with in copying the lithographs from this set. Actually, to me, this card it just ends up being copying. But, I did have a lot of fun working on those edges!! But yeah, it would be very appealing to try and recreate a scene with actual lighting, even if it's controlled in a studio. Anyway, I'm babbling. Any crits/comments/problems are certainly welcomed! Oh, and as usual, forgive the photography! Graig

I can't get this thought out of my head....
How could a printed piece of hundred year old cardboard have more value than this masterpiece created from the hands of God?

Not at all Mr. Ghost...
Quote:
Since I do believe in God, and also believe that extraordinary talents like Graig possesses, are a "gift from God"... it was merely my way of expressing such. I didn't realize that the Hall Monitor was going to "out" me for expressing my appreciation of Graig's talent. Next time, I'll stick with the "breathtaking looking work" line that you just coined. Go in peace...

Graig, you know you're on the right track when
people get into fights over how best to heap accolades upon you!

Whoa, whoa!!! Thanks for the words, guys!
It's all good though. I think that Jimmy knows better than anyone that if I were god, we'd all be in some serious trouble. And by 'serious trouble' I mean 'eating matzoh ball soup everyday'. Actually, that wouldn't be so bad.
