Chris,
Aaron is always cool, good choice, I am excited that someone's dream is going to come true, I can't wait.

+2!

Sale of entries will begin on Sunday, May 4th, 2014 @ 8PM (EST)

This will be board time correct? So posts at 7:59 will be disallowed?

effe,
I was not aware of no posts after 7:59, exuse me, time to scramble and check this out, thanks for the insight.
Effe,
I misunderstood you, I am going to try and enter the thread at exactly 8:00, whatever the time is, when you see the sight pop in, I will be taking entry requests.
I read your first post too fast and thought there was no posts allowed after 7:59pm on Sun, my heart was in my throat for a second. I will have this current thread still going and hope to answer questions here. I don't want to start the other too soon as I will be getting questions on that sight that might interfere with the requesting procedures.

Great idea!

So the signup thread won't exist prior to 8. That answers my question, thanks!

I think I must have missed something where the thread went from "i'm in" a max of 200 entries to this May 4th thing. Will there be a new thread?


ok I see it now, just an inquiry how many would be in

I am interested, but does it have to be baseball? Will he consider other sports ie. track and field? I appreciate his work, but I would have no interest in a baseball theme painting.

WHAT!!! NO BASEBALL!!! You just crossed the line!

Michael B,
I have seen other sports paintings he has done, I am sure he would be interested if it is a quality piece, some historical connection with the event, or a famous track and field athlete in motion.

Hey all,

Thank you so much for showing so much enthusiasm for this whole thing. And a BIG 'thank you' has to go to Bill and Lance for putting it all together. The whole experience has been really exciting to watch unfold thus far, and all of your responses leave me pretty darn humbled (as they always seem to do).

In the end, I hope it's a fun experience and that someone gets something that they really love and cherish to show for it. I'd definitely be up for doing this sort of thing again if there's still interest for it.

The bottom line is, you guys have always been soooooo incredibly good to me, and I'm thrilled that I can say that some of you have become real-life, true friends over the years. It sounds corny for sure, but this sort of loving community is super important to me.

And for the record Michael, I'm happy to do a track & field piece, or any other sport - the winning painting doesn't have to be baseball!
