Thats pretty sad as I love his paintings too!

Jurinko was an absolute giant in the field. When I first got into doing baseball related artwork, he was the one I looked up to. And I still do.

He will be missed.

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd share what's on the easel these days, for those of you who care of course!

The first couple of paintings are all commissions that are a bit overdue, especially the one of David Tyree (Sorry, Akshay). Though, there are a few of the smaller 9"x12"s that are just being done with no specific owner in mind. And none of these paintings are finished, so I got a lot to do!


David Tyree, February 3, 2008 (Super Bowl XLII)


Babe Ruth, June 25, 1920


Cincinnati Reds, October 21, 1976 (Game 4, WS)


Joe DiMaggio, Fiorello LaGuardia, Lou Gehrig, October 5, 1938 (Game 1, WS)


Willie Mays, 1954


Willie Keeler, 1912


George W. Case, July 11, 1939


Richie Ashburn, March, 1956


Babe Ruth, 1928

Anywho, excuse the photography (which is worse than usual) and (hopefully) enjoy 'em!

Graig, these are fantastic, thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks a lot, Jay!!!

Graig,
Though I am partial to all things Gehrig, I gotta say that Ruth looks great. Those wide action shots look so visually stunning. This along with the Wagner and Cobb are some fantastic paintings. I can only image how stunning and vibrant they must be in person.

The Tyree is also spectacular. It looks so realistic...It's amazing.

(Spoken under breath- Damn! I gotta start saving for another one of these.)
