Help me choose my Kreindler subject from raffle #2 (and a long overdue intro)
Hello All,
I guess first I should probably tell you a little about myself. As you can see I have been a member of this fine forum for about 3 years but don't post much. I do however visit it pretty much daily. I have learned a lot and gotten to see many items that I likely won't ever own myself but enjoy seeing them anyway. I've collected baseball cards pretty much since birth. My father gave me the card collecting addiction by putting together a set from vending since my birth year (1978) until I was old enough to start doing it on my own. My collection has different parts to it from pre-war to modern, game used, and autographs. My pre-war collection has focused on the Milwaukee Brewers of the American Association, which is why I chose the T20Brew handle. My more modern collection is mostly player collections with Rollie Fingers being the main baseball figure. I love the history of baseball probably just as much and probably more than going to or following baseball today. I love items of Babe Ruth and other baseball figures. Now I have the awesome task of figuring out what picture to chose for my painting. I was thinking of maybe a Babe Ruth picture, a Rollie Fingers picture, or even something from the American Association Brewers. Who has some good ideas?

For some reasom, it already looks like a lot of the heads are photo-shopped in.
Not sure why, but it has a "cut and paste" look... a lot like the Sgt. Peppers Album Cover. Especially in the foreground... Last edited by perezfan; 11-18-2014 at 02:35 PM.

Although my initial suggestion was a bit tongue-in-cheek, it would be an amazing image in Kreindlercolor™. The first time I saw that image was in Ken Burns' Baseball documentary, and they presented it by showing a super close-up of Ruth's grinning face, then slowly panning out (in typical Burns style) to reveal all the anxious kids surrounding the Babe. Simply a perfect capture of a moment in time, when things were much simpler, and Babe Ruth was the most popular athlete on the planet. I think the image appears photoshopped due to the high contrast and amazing quality of black and white photography. When you get a good photographer, the right lighting, and a decent camera, you'd be amazed at the quality of vintage photography.

Aaron in one of those cool old Milwaukee Braves jerseys would be cool.
Also would love to see craig's take on this:
