I don't know about responses but that is a neat Composite Max. You don't have to necessarily love football, football photos or memorabilia to like that piece.

Great composite photo, I'm not a football collector but can certainly appreciate that one.

I'm not either Phil, and despite being a McGill grad, I am going to be looking for a new home for the photo.

Max,

That Leyendecker poster is the sh*t. He was one hell of a draughtsman, and in my opinion, is still one of the most underrated artists of his era. Just think, after Rockwell, he had the post Saturday Evening Post covers featuring his artwork. And it's easy to see why. I feel like his style just really lent itself very well to those covers, especially design-wise. But even as a painter, the way that he could describe form with a brushstroke was just pure genius.

Have you ever seen his stuff in person? What I've been able to find has always knocked my socks off...

If I recall the recent auction prices correctly for originals of his work, I don't think the market regards him as that underrated. His paintings are decidely pricey.
