Thank you so much for the kind words, everybody - both in regards to the paintings and about the newborn!! The last month, to say the least, has been insane. Full of joy and wonderment, but insane.
That Clemente was really a lot of fun to do, and a bit of a different kind of image to tackle. In a way, I didn't want Clemente to be as much the focus as the texture of that Ebbets Field wall. To me, that's the most interesting part of the image. All of the impasto and texture doesn't translate super well in the photography, but in the original, I feel like it shines. Honus was also an exercise in treating a surface differently than I normally try for. That moiré pattern drove me absolutely batsh!t - it was actually the part of the painting that gave me the most trouble. Convincingly duplicating it by hand is RREEAALLLYYYY tough to do, and I wasn't able to tackle it without a stencil. And then making sure it sat back as much as it needed to, and that the size of the dots (and spaces between) were sized correctly and even...just nutty. But I do hope that it translates well in the original and comes across as looking like the card. Keith, I would love to do another raffle in the next few months or so, but I would be a little worried that I wore out my welcome in the last one. If there are enough people interested though, then we can definitely do another. I think it wouldn't even be for a set figure - I would just paint whatever size the combined raffle proceeds get me to. Or something like that. If tickets went back down to $10 each, would you guys be interested? Graig

Yes!
Craig,
I think I speak for a bunch of folks on here to say a resounding "Yes" to the $10 raffle idea. The thought of possibly winning a work of art from you for the cost of a scratch ticket well......makes me "itchy" and "scratchy" . Thanks! Mike |

Hey all,
Hope the summer's wrapped up nicely for everyone. The weather in Brooklyn is starting to cool down a little bit later on in the day, so it's starting to feel like the fall...which I guess means that baseball's almost over...boooooo. Anywho, I just wanted to share stuff that I got back from the photographers this week, the majority of which were color studies. It was a pretty busy month as far as those were concerned. The majority of them are spoken for, but there are still some of them available on eBay. Hope you enjoy 'em! Moses Fleetwood Walker, 1883 Eddie Plank, 1902 Christy Mathewson, 1912 Ty Cobb, 1915 Ty Cobb, 1916 Babe Ruth, 1918 Babe Ruth, 1919 Lou Gehrig, 1923 Babe Ruth, 1926 Lou Gehrig, 1937 Joe DiMaggio, 1939 Ted Williams, ca. 1941 Roy Campanella, 1948 Sandy Koufax, 1955 Mickey Mantle, 1956 Ernie Banks, 1957 Ernie Banks, 1957 Al Kaline, ca. 1960s If any of you are interested in seeing color studies that are still available for sale, here's what's on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/graigkreindl...p2047675.l2562 And again, to avoid extra fees, I'm happy to sell them off of the site for $630 with shipping. If you're interested, just PM or email me (gkreindler@gmail.com). As per usual, feel free to share any questions, problems, critiques or suggestions. Thanks for checking it all out! Graig

Thanks, J. Though I think if that were to happen, their stock would plummet precipitously.

Update
I'd LOVE to see a Brooksie... The '66 WS painting is incredible, but a classic portrait of "Mr. Impossible" would be awesome.
Man, those color studies are very nice. I especially like the Williams, Banks (straight on), Mathewson and the Campy. Merry Christmas to all by the way! |
