The second kreindler event, gentlemen, question area

[GKreindler]

Jim,

It would really depend on the image you're looking to have created in the end. To be honest, many years ago I had done some paintings of ballplayers with family members that I just really couldn't get into, and in my opinion, the quality suffered because of that. So, it would all have to depend on what you have in mind. If it's something that's more on the subtle side, I feel like I'd be more likely to say 'yes' to it.

Getting closer to the start date, I am searching for possible photos that I would consider in I got lucky enough to win. Kaline was my boyhood hero. So naturally I am going to look at photos of him. I did not like the Yanks, but you couldn't help but admire the talent and history in that organization. So I have two potential selections on the more modern era. I have not settled on any dead ball era yet, but here are two post war photos I like.
P.S. Graig, if I win and pick Kaline, sorry for the fence in the photo.
BY THE WAY, I know what Mickey is thinking in the photo.....................what photo should I use.

Since we're dreaming. I would love to see what Graig could turn this into. Pee Wee Reese in World Series action.

Here are a few later photos I am considering if my dream were to come true.
Being from Detroit, Cobb and Hank are high on my list.

Graig,

Would you be willing to do non-sport images?

[GKreindler]

Michael,

For the most part, I'd only do sports images. There have been a few requests here and there for some people who have had some involvement with the baseball in some capacity but weren't players, and those I'm alright with doing. But yeah other than that, the goal is to keep it being a sports thing (no matter the game).

I wanted to let everyone know that we were discussing the 3rd event already, and it will be down the road a piece. Probably about a year from now. Graig is backed up somewhat, it also gives everyone a chance to get a breather from these first two events.
I wanted to post this information now, so some members do not miss this event and have a long wait until the next one.
Good luck to you all

Bill
