Thanks again, guys.
Jacksons, it's funny because doing the more modern stuff provides a different challenge. Though I have access to color photography, I still find myself sticking to a different vision of color for the most part, still trying to breathe something different into the subject. I guess I just feel that photography really does take a lot of air out of whatever it's depicting, especially since the human eye can see and process so much more information than a camera lens. And translating that onto a 2-dimensional surface just becomes harder and harder. And to be honest, I wish I could do more modern stuff. That's part of the reason why I'm glad you're still into the Dent painting. Maybe I just won't be satisfied until I have every era covered. And covered well. Oh, and Scott, you're being too nice! Let's just say I'm the shortest sports artist on the planet. Which I think might be true. Ben? Jimmy? Danny? Phil? Yeeeah. Anywho, here are another two I got back from the photographers, though don't think I posted...  Joe DiMaggio, 1936, 16" x 20"  Red Ruffing, 1936, 16" x 20" Really, thanks again everybody. Graig

Graig,
Scott isn't being nice. He's being honest. I cannot remember seeing another artist breathe as much life into their subjects as you do. New/Old it doesn't matter. Matty, J Jackson, Babe, Gehrig, Mantle, Jackie R, Joe D, Tyree, Strawberry all incredible images. Doesn't matter what age or Sport. Even that golf one you did was crazy good. I can't wait to see your first Hockey painting. Dude..You da Man. Your height don't matter as long as you can reach the canvas! Mark

I would even venture to say that Graig, you might just be the Rockwell of sports artists. I think your work is that good!!

Graig, this is the first time I'd ever seen your work, literally spent the morning flipping through 40+ pages just to see the work and hear from the artist.
Really great stuff man, truly. I'd love to talk to you a bit about commissioning a work in the future.
