OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations

[Gkreindler]

Hey guys,

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and are looking forward to the start of 2012.

I think my New Years resolution is to get the majority of the unfinished paintings out of my studio (especially those that were commissioned).

Here are a few that are ready to leave...


Johnny Evers, 1907, 16" x 20"


Babe Ruth, 1918, 30" x 34"


Babe Ruth, 1924, 16" x 20"


Lou Gehrig, 1938, 18" x 24"


Jackie Robinson, August 28, 1949, 46" x 56"


Mets, October 25, 1986, 30" x 45"

And man, I never realized how much Evers looks like Stan Laurel in that image. What a jaw that man had!!

Anywho, I hope y'all dig 'em. And if ya do, come check me out on Facebook, too! Comments/crits/laughs/stories are ALWAYS appreciated.

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:


Christy Mathewson, 1914 Cracker Jack, 18" x 24"

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.

And I realized that there were a few more I had not posted here, so here they come!





















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

Have not been on here in a while, but I have been working really hard on a lot of paintings and here is one of them. This painting was originally going to be donated to a charity auction that Aaron was attending but the charity organization backed out.

A gift from a friend.







This is too cool for words. Maybe I will set aside some GU funds and channel them into these paintings.

It would be even cooler if Jeter signs it. Will have to wait and see.



Now I might want to get one with MATSUI, so I can photo-matched it with the game used bat.
