Hey guys,

Here are a few more who came back from the photographers yesterday:


Babe Ruth, Bob Meusel, Wally Pipp, etc., April 18, 1923, 30" x 32"


Babe Ruth, 1921, 9" x 12"


Miller Huggins, 1927, 9" x 12"

A bit Yankee-heavy. Yeeeah, but that's not a bad thing, right?

Anywho, I hope ya dig 'em!

Dude,
How do you do that?
Freaking awesome again.
I really love the Huggins. Such detail and character in his face. The fabric appears real.

Is the Ruth painted in the soft focus style Dean wanted you to use, like the other Ruth you showed a while back? I have to say that this one is really endearing. There is something very warm and inviting about the softness.

Man...I have to get another one!

Best,
Mark

Brian, you and I both. Now that I've FINALLY secured the rights to that image, it'll be happening soon. And it'll be exciting, I assure you.

Mark, actually, that Ruth portrait was painted the plain ol' normal way. The image that was working with does have somewhat of a soft focus, and it seemed that whenever I tried to tighten up certain areas, it just never looked right. So, in this case I decided to keep everything soft and let Babe's eyes tell the story. Or something.

Ben, you're my hero.

Graig,
Beautiful as always, especially the group shot. I swear, if I could just position it right on my screen, those '23 Yanks would just march right on out onto my desk I wonder if their stepping in unison was intentional, or just happened to appear that way in the photograph?

I've always thought that the Gehrig that Lordstan has was your best, and normally I would change that to say the Huggins was now your best, but there are no words to describe how good that Ruth is. WOW! The only way you can top that is to make it talk.
