On the easel...

Hey all,

Just wanted to wish y'all a happy 4th, as I'll be in Stockbridge, MA for the Norman Rockwell thing.

If any of you happen to be in the area on Saturday and want to check it out, you can get more info here:

I'll be going on at around 2 PM, I think.

Either way, everyone stay safe this weekend!

Check out this cool baseball art article from MLB.com, which I'm lucky enough to be featured in.

What's interesting is that under the first gallery, my work comes right after Rockwell's in the pecking order. Whoa. Now that's humbling.

Also, jut got this guy back from the photographers - my father's birthday present. Always the Mantle fan, I figured it was the perfect image for him.



Thanks for looking!

Your work is truly impressive. I wish I was able to afford it.

Do you have a book of your various work. I certainly would be interested in a coffee table book.

Thanks for the compliments, Magic1313!

I don't have a book of my work yet, though I know my agent has been in talks with various publishers in the hopes that we can get something going at some point. In the end, I might just need to keep painting to get as many images done as possible.

Though, when I get anymore information, you guys will definitely be some of the first to know!

Graig - congrats on your inclusion in the slideshow!

I've included a screenshot for everyone else.

Can't say that I'm surprised, though!

P.S. - would love to see the look on your father's face when he opens that one - truly one of your best, Graig. Just awesome!

"Luck" had nothing to do with it Graig.

Oh, Jimmy...

And thanks so much for posting that screen-cap, Jacksons!

Hey all,

Just wanted to let you know that I'll be at the National on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, if anyone wants to meet up. I'm bringing down two works in progress, one of which is for a client - Ben (ForeverYoung). The paintings will probably spend most of their time in the hotel, but if anyone wants me to show 'em, let me know. Either way, I'm sure we'll all be hanging out a bit down there, so it would be wonderful to meet some other Net54ers.

PM me if you want to get in touch...

Hey all,

Here's the latest!





The painting illustrates Ty Cobb on April 14, 1908 - Opening Day. The Tigers were in Chicago that hazy and oddly warm afternoon, and though they lost to the locals 15-8, Cobb went 3-5 - one of his hits being a homer (the depicted) into the right field bleachers, which was certainly a rarity at the South Side Park. Obviously a good start for the Georgian, he was on his way to making the $800 promised to him by owner Frank Navin if he hit over .300 for the season. That was, of course, to complement his 'outlandish' $4000 salary.

At 40" x 62", this guy was a commission, and now that I'm officially moved into my new apartment and unpacked (for the most part), I can get going on some of the other commissions from you board members - I'm sure you know who you are.

Anyways, hope you dig it. As always, any comments are welcome!

Thanks,

Graig
