On the easel...

Saw Graig last night at the Baseball Assistance Team (B.A.T.) dinner in NYC and was lucky enough to have won this Mantle painting during their Silent Auction.

I tried to get in front of Strawberry to show him the painting Graig did of him on my iPhone, but he was mobbed before I had a chance.

More ballplayers should get an opportunity to see how he represents them on canvas.

great pickup jacksons.

I was at the BAT Dinner as well. Too bad we didn't have a chance to say hello.

Graig is an incredible artist and a very cool guy.

You guys are really too nice. For serious.

It was wonderful seeing you at the dinner, jacksons. I do wish we could have chatted more, but I suppose it can be a bit tough at events like that. Then again, I think I was just still in shock that I was sitting next to Tommy John - perhaps my mind wasn't where it should have been.

Hey all,

I said I'd be posting some in-progress shots a while back, but hadn't gotten around to it until now. All of these guys are in various states of completion, but will hopefully be completed sometime in the near future. Or at least, I hope so. Either way, I still have a lot of catching up to do.

Anywho, excuse the crappy photography and sh*tty Photoshop jobs, and I hope you dig 'em all. Or some. Maybe one?

Cincinnati Reds, 1976 World Series, 28" x 42"

Roger Maris, 61st Homer, 38" x 52"

Joe DiMaggio, Fiorello La Guardia, Lou Gehrig, 1938 World Series, 28" x 36"

Mickey Mantle, 1955, 30" x 64"

David Tyree, Super Bowl XLII, 24" x 30"

Rube Marquard, 1912, 20" x 24"

Babe Ruth, 1935, 11" x 14"

Christy Mathewson, 1909, 9" x 12"

Paul Waner, 1942, 9" x 12"

Hey guys,

Just wanted to hip you to a contest I'm running on Facebook for a FREE painting. You can visit my fan-page from the link in my signature, and for the info:

From 12:01 AM EST on Monday, February 14 until 11:59 PM EST on Sunday, February 20, the person who gets the most new people to 'like' my fanpage will win a FREE 9" x 12" player portrait of their choice - currently a $2,400 retail value. That's right, you pick the player, and I'll paint him/her and ship it out to you.

Here are the only two rules:

1) Get as many people as you can to click 'like' on my fanpage.
2) Ask the new fans to leave a comment on my wall identifying you, the person who referred them. Those who are newly referred can participate, too!

If you have any questions, feel free to drop me a message. And don't forget, the contest doesn't start until MONDAY. I can remind y'all about it in a few days if you'd like.

Good luck!!

Graig

Greg,

You know I am one of your biggest fans...supported by the amazing Cobb batting in Comiskey Park hanging on the wall of my office.

We are currently selling some works by Intoy Ginez...I won't compare them to your amazing paintings but As a layman I find them to be very lifelike. Interested in your thoughts.

Doug
