On the easel...

Graig - Those are truly amazing! For me, I think there are just the right size.

Bravo! - and welcome back.

Awesome, Graig!
So sorry that we won't see each other in Chicago. Bummer!
Be well!

[GKreindler]

Thanks a lot, guys. I do appreciate you checking it out.

And I agree with you, they are a nice size for sure, but I think they're so big that it would be super easy for people to print them out for nefarious purposes...hmmm...

[icollectDCsports]

They are always fantastic and great to see them.

Life like.

Hope I'm not breaking Graig's rules if that 27 Yanks is my desktop background.

Most of us just went through the same photobucket nightmare, so I feel your pain. When I solicited opinions for a new photo hosting site, the two main recommendations were imgur and flickr. With imgur, my scans also came across way too huuuuuuge, and there was no means to control it, so I switched to flickr and it works great. When it's time to copy the links to your pics there, you have quite a few size options, from massive to small, to choose from. I just went with one of the 'large' sizes and it was perfect. Without question, give flickr a shot. It's good for what ails ya. (No, I'm not a paid spokesman.)

In my collection, I have quite a few lithographs by Bill Purdom. I used to think that baseball art wise, Purdom was #1, that is until I saw your work. I can't afford your work, but I do admire it. I have heard the stories of the myriad of licenses one needs to publish images of MLB players and logos. That said, I still think some of your work would sell well. The Yankee Team picture is just sick, ditto on the Big Six piece as well. There are plenty of Yankee fans (as well as non Yankee fans) that would pay for a well done lithograph of the team picture.

Hey all,

Hope this finds y'all well and happy.

It's been a while since my last post, and plenty has happened - most of it being on the personal end. My wife gave birth to our second son in the beginning of August, so he's been taking up a lot of our time. Adjusting to having two kids has really been something else. I don't know if I've ever been more exhausted in my life. I'm told it gets better - but I'm really starting to wonder whether that's true or not.

Also, two months later, we moved. Granted, it was only about a mile south of where we were in Windsor Terrace, but it's been one hell of an ordeal and time suck as well. This new spot is really much better suited for us. There's plenty of space, and even room to grow a bit more. The layout is SOOOOO much better than what we had the past two years, which with the addition of Jonah, became a nightmare. Plus, my studio is da booooomb. I have a window (!!!!), shelves, and even room to walk around. More importantly, the neighborhood is good and diverse, and the schools are excellent. All things said, we're hoping to be here for at least 5-6 years at the VERY least.

And me, I'm just hoping to get back to the easel in the next few days.

Speaking of things related to art, my partner in the Negro Leagues project I've been working on the past 6 months has finally released his first product - and I'm heavily involved!! So, as of today, it’s official, the Uniforms of Josh Gibson - 1928-1944 is available for purchase, both as a lithograph (edition of 1,920) and a giclée (edition of 100), the latter being signed and numbered by the artist (me!).

And of course, if any of you have individual questions, I'll do my best to answer them here or through PM. But needless to say, I'm stoked (and apprehensive) to finally offer reproductions of my stuff in any form - I'm very curious to see how it's received. Either way, I think the color studies were well done and look pretty darn cool.

We have more things in the works too, including similar lithos/giclées for the likes of Satchel, Rube Foster, Buck O'Neil, Jackie Robinson and a few others. Additionally, he's in the process of getting bobble heads made, as well as licensing the artwork for a myriad of stuff, including wine and beer.

So, yeah, if you're interested, feel free to check out the website for more info, and please share with anybody you think might be interested!

Thanks, guys!

PS: I'm hoping that once things clear up a little bit over here, in addition to getting back to the commission work that's been neglected, I'll also update this thread and fill in those dreaded empty slots where Photobucket has ruined things.

Wow two! Congratulations that's fantastic!

One word of caution though.

Once everyone is the family is old enough to start running, you and your wife can still employ the man to man defense. Adding one more little tyke, however, will result in the necessity of employing the zone defense. That's when it gets really fun.

Welcome back, Graig, and congrats on number 2! My son was born June 23rd and we moved into our new house on June 27th. I was working 6 days a week prior to June 22nd so it made for some hectic times around our old household!

All worth it now, of course.

So fantastic. Can I get an inscription on mine?

Tom, two kids. Done. No more. Nope. Done. It's hard enough with one, and two is four times as nuts. We're good. Forever.

Dale, that's even crazier than our move. I can't even imagine, as I'm completely at wits end as it is.

Ben and Greg, I can absotively inscribe it if you'd like me to.
