Holy balls. This thread is bonkers.
Thank you so much for all of your kind words, everybody. Rob and REA really have been a wonderful help to me over the years, especially since the items they offer are always so wonderful and unique. So really, I just wanted to try and match that kindness back in some way - it was really the least I could do, considering how much they've augmented some of the paintings I've done (whether they know it or not).
I'm incredibly happy that he likes the painting as much as he does, and I won't lie, I was more than thrilled when Tom (at REA) had told me that his favorite player was Dick Allen.
But yeah, it was super nice of him to even start this thread (and incredibly nice for you to move it, Leon). I feel really weird and blushy even commenting on it. I'm just beyond words.
Thank you for letting me do something I love, everybody.
