Steven,
No entry yet. On April the 3rd, at 8PM EST, I will have a new thread pop in, on the memorabilia side, stating "Kreindler Dream Event, entries begin now". On that thread, you can state how many entries you wish to purchase. I will have an ongoing list where I will place Net 54 names, in the order I get them. If you request three entries, then your Net54 name will be entered three times.
Once the sales has ended, then payments can be made, and next to your name, I will place Pd. This way all members can see the progress, and observe their numbers.

Richard,
Graig has stated in the past that he would do any sport. Non sport would have to be answered by Graig, but I believe he has stated in the past, he would prefer not to paint non sport portraits (family members). Objects like the Stanley cup, stadium, that would have to be answered by Graig. But remember, an 16 X 20 is mainly the size for a portrait, and fitting two people into that size painting, may not meet the standards Craig is used to completing. Same with a stadium. If he has to reduce the sizes, the quality of that painting may not meet the photo he is trying to capture.
But Graig may answer that better. he is busy this Easter Sunday, with his family, so may take a while to give you a good answer.
Let me add this Richard, that because this raffle has no backend as far as sales go, depending on how many entries we receive, the painting may go larger then 16 X 20. Then that larger size may fit more then one individual. The winner always has the option to add money to the painting he won, where he can truly get a very large painting, at a cost that could be afforded.

Hey Richard,

1) Any sport is kosher with me!
2) Non-sport is less kosher with me. I think it would have to be a really special non-sport subject that's close to my heart to make me want to do it. I mean REALLY special. Like Bill opined, family portraits and the like aren't my cup of tea.
3) If we can fit more than one person in the painting without compressing the image too much, then that's cool with me.
4) It all depends on the image. For example, the Cy Young image below would probably be alright:



This one, not so much:



And Bill, come on, we both know I have no life. Especially now that Bennett's here!!

Graig,
Bennett is worth the time you give him. I can't wait to see his first painting.
