Graig,

Amazing paintings! I'm not an artist, so maybe its the "chi" Gingi is talking about....but the paintings have more feeling and detail to them than photographs. Great work and keep sharing.

Graig,

I've been an artist for a dozen years or so. Looking at your work, I am simply amazed at the way you capture their Chi. There is such emotion and feeling in their expressions. I am in awe.

I can't afford your talent money wise but thanks for sharing it with the rest of us

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations

Thanks so much for the kind words, RJ - the same to you and yours!

Godwulf, I definitely do more modern stuff, though the majority of the commissions I get are for stuff from the golden era. I am trying very much to make some more modern ones for myself though, if only to have a more well balanced portfolio. The Olympic shot would make a wonderful addition to that idea.

For now, I am certainly trying to get more with the latter part of the century. I have a painting of the 1976 Reds that I'm working on as we speak...type...you know what I mean.

Thanks again!

Graig,

You just keep getting better and better, if that's even possible at this point. Best wishes for a great 2011.

Graig....

Beautiful work!

Do you ever do any "modern" Baseball scenes? Here's one of my favorite images, which I think would make a great painting. It's the Team U.S.A. team that beat the Cubans in the final game of the Olympic Qualifying Tournament, in Havana, 9/5/2006.

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations

Hey guys,

Thought I'd start this bad-boy up again, as I just got a few of paintings back from the photographers.

The majority of the portraits are on the smaller side, as I've been working a lot on them when I take breaks from the large canvases. I guess because they're a little less involved, they find themselves completed a bit quicker.


Mickey Mantle, 9/16/51, 30"x70"


Ty Cobb, 4/14/08, 40"x62"


Home Run Baker, 1913, 11"x14"


Lou Gehrig, 1927, 9"x12"


Jimmie Foxx, 1933, 9"x12"


Joe DiMaggio, 1936, 9"x12"


Bob Feller, 1937, 9"x12"


Lou Gehrig, 1927, 9"x12"


Jackie Robinson, 7/2/50, 22"x30"


Honus Wagner, 1909, 11"x14"


Charlie Gehringer, 1925, 9"x12"


Lefty Grove, 1925, 11"x14"


Darryl Strawberry, 1987, 11"x14"


Babe Ruth, 1922, 28"x36"

I have about five more that need to be photographed in the next week too, so I'll post those when they come back into the studio. Also, I have a ton of in-progress stuff that I can post if anyone's interested.

And if not, that's cool too.

Hope y'all enjoy!

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

Way overdue on this one....here are a lithograph of the original artwork I got on eBay years ago called "Pride of the Phillies" which I had Jim Eisenreich sign on 8/14/04 at the HoF in Cooperstown, and then was fortunate enough to obtain the original oil painting by Dick Perez.

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

I just got my first piece of sports art, its a hand painted Jeter signed baseball done by Charles Fazzino. This is a one of kind original baseball. With the help of a great forum, I was able to get this done.(He can chime in if he wants to.) A great big thanks to him!!! Steiner offered baseballs similar to this a few years back, but those where done in a limited addition and all had the same design. this baseball has its own unique design. The LOA also stats one of a kind, in the description. The are painted with cheers for Jeter and also have his achievements painted threw out, such as 2000 WS MVP, 96 ROY, 11xAS, and 5xWS champ. I'm very happy to have this!!!!!

I just saw this post! Thanks for the kind words and it looks great!!!!!! I am thinking of sending in some more balls to Charles to get done as this turned out amazing!

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

Just found this thread! I am a sports artist, I do oil paintings normal size is 16x20" for usually around $300-400 for the original artwork. I am in the process of making a nice Stamkos, first making it on photoshop to see what it looks like, going to be 36x48". Here is my site to see my work: moreauart.com, yes I know I need to get a new site.

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

nice piece. so did you contribute to the ideas on the baseball or did you let Fazzino just do his thing. how much do these cost, if you do not mind me asking. I may want to get something done similar.

Joel and Chris, thanks for the kind words.

Joel to answer your question, pretty much Mr Fazzino did his thing. As for a price, I rather not say, as the price I got was due to circumstances. But I must say it was a very fair price.
