Also, those '07 Cubs jerseys were beyond bad @$$ - and I can say that with confidence after seeing the new Marlins unis. Obviously it would be less comfortable and all, but man, I wish baseball jerseys looked like this.

Anywho, I hope ya dig it!

Great painting, as always.

Separated at birth?

Hey guys,

Here are two more I just got back from the photographers:

Jackie Robinson, August 28, 1949, 46" x 56"

Gary Carter and his boys, October 25, 1986, 30" x 45"

I gotta admit, I'm really scared even sharing these, as they're both pretty important paintings for me professionally. The Jackie canvas is going to a pretty high-profile client, and if it's loved, can open some serious doors. Also, it's going to be hung somewhere with a lot of visibility. The Mets one is kinda in the same situation - it will be auctioned off at the B.A.T. dinner in January, which will be attended by tons of former and current players, many Hall of Famers, media and probably other people I don't even think I want to know about.

So, yeah, I just really hope that they're both loved not only by the clients, but by everybody. I just feel like there's gonna more scrutiny over these than some of the other stuff I've done. And believe me, I'm extremely grateful to even have people looking at this stuff, but I'm still shaking in my boots.

Gaaahh!!

I dont think you have anything to worry about as those two paintings are among your best work......although I hate the Mets!! LOL.

Seriously....you have NOTHING to worry about!!

Graig,
Both of these paintings just blew me away! They just pop and jump off the canvas. Their new owners are going to love them!

New favorite thread. I'm still in awe of the Matty / new Jackie painting. Amazing.
