They are not all that horrible, Graig

Of course they're amazing.... A quick question on the Gehrig...

Is that a famous image of Gehrig? I know some of your paintings are based on well known images, and some are far more obscure. The reason I ask is that I just picked up a cool life-size bronze bust of Lou, and it appears to match that image to a tee. Perhaps its just a similar pose, but I am thinking the sculptor may have used the same image as you did for your painting.

Thanks and great stuff!
