Hey all,

Hope everyone's starting to enjoy some spring weather. In Brooklyn, it's REALLY starting to feel like baseball season is upon us.

I just got this guy back from the photographers, and I thought it was an interesting one to post:



My client is a big fan of the Cracker Jack set and wanted Matty to be as real as possible. It posed an interesting challenge, since as much as I can render him, the background was just going to be that stark red. Though in the end, I'm pretty happy with the results. I think it's pretty strong graphically, and although the play of red and green really messed with my eyes while I was working on it, I think I was able to pull it off.

Anywho, I hope you dig it! And if not, don't be afraid to say so!

Graig

I think this painting is even more realistic than the other Matty painting you did. This literally looks like a photograph!!

Once again..unbelieveable work!!

Phenomenal, Graig...

If it's even possible to inprove upon the card, you've done it. You've brought new depth and realism to an image we've seen many times (but probably taken for granted).

Incredible and gorgeous work!

Thanks a lot, guys. I'm thrilled that you both like this one! I gotta say, when I attempt things that are out of my comfort zone, I get a bit nervous about publicly showing them - and that's even if I feel good with the end result. But, I guess such is the life of an artist!

Thanks again, for serious.

Graig,
I think you did a spectacular job of painting the Matty Crackerjack card in Kreindlercolor! Awesome!

Graig,
For you to "get a bit nervous about publicly showing them" is like the super model on the cover of Sports Illustrated being a bit nervous about taking off her bikini in front of someone. You, my friend, have nothing to worry about!!
