Graig, Your work is just simply amazing. Jaw dropping, beautiful, dynamic. Have you ever thought about doing prints? I would be ecstatic to be able to purchase prints of this masterpieces. Especially as you get around to doing paintings of players who are still with us. I believe that your work, as a print, autographed would be epically wonderful! Thanks for sharing your immense talent and love of Baseball! Arex
If everyone has ever wanted a certain baseball art piece done I would strongly urge you to consider Graig. He did the Matty for me and the whole process was very enjoyable. Good communication throughout and oh man what an amazing result! Well you ever forgive me for the red background Graig????

Congratulations Rich!
That's an incredible piece - and I like the red background - the Matty jumps out of the screen - superb companion piece for the CJ collector. I'm in awe of the quality. Graig does incredible work and I would be proud to have it on my wall!
Graig ... I'm getting tired of telling you how gorgeous your work is! LOL
LOVE the Matty. BEAUTIFUL!
STAY HEALTHY!

So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts
Sorry it took so long for me to respond, but thank you so much for your lovely compliments! And thank you Rich for that incredibly generous plug!
Arex, as of now, there aren't any plans to do any prints of my work. Unfortunately, they're just wayyyy too many legal hurdles to overcome before we can even consider doing something like that (especially with intellectual property laws and the such). After that one is cleared, if we find the right opportunity, I'm sure we'll take advantage. But, there is certainly a possibility that we'll be doing a book sometime in the near future. Or at least, I hope it's in the near future! Either way, I'll keep everyone here posted.
Here are two more I just got back from the photographers:
Lou Gehrig, 1927, 16" x 20"
Babe Ruth, 1928, 16" x 20"
The first one I had done a study for a year or so ago, so it's nice to see a finished, refined one realized. And the Ruth, well, the eyes (once again) have it.
Hopefully I'll have two more to show tomorrow - a Mo' Rivera and a Johnny Vander Meer!
Whoops, I've been neglecting this thread for a little bit. Thank you ALL for such nice words about the few.
Here are four more I got back from the photographers semi-recently:
And here are the other two!
Johnny Vander Meer, 1938, 20" x 28"
Mariano Rivera, October 12, 2004, 26" x 36"
Smoky Joe Wood, 1909, 16" x 20
Bob Feller, July 31, 1946, 28" x 30"
The Feller is actually an oldie, but I had to change a few colors on the billboard, as I discovered they were wrong after the fact. I hate when that happens!!
Graig ... don't know what else to say. Your work is museum quality.
Take a look at that most recent Babe ... look at his eyes ... that expression ... you KNOW he is staring at something he loves ... could the hot dog cart be far away????
STAY HEALTHY!

So, this is gonna be a weird post coming from me, and if it rubs anyone the wrong way (including you, Leon), then I apologize and feel free to banish it to the forbidden closet of mysteries.
Starting on November 14, SCP's Fall 2012 auction will be open for bidding. In that group of wonderful pieces, one of my paintings is featured in lot #691. Here's the page:
Anywho, the painting was put into the ring by one of our clients, a move that was/is in no way associated with us (my agent and myself). It was something that I imagined could happen at some point, and frankly still elicits some mixed feelings on my end. But that's neither here nor there.
Regardless, I have absolutely NO idea what the painting will go for in the end, or whether there's a reserve or anything like that. But, at a starting bid of $300, and at that size (34" x 22"), I thought it might be a nice opportunity for any of you who may have an interest in my work or DiMaggio specifically.
For those of you who are indeed interested in bidding, I can provide you with the retail value of the painting, if you'd like . The only reason I'm alright in doing so is because my paintings - when they come from us - are always priced out by size, not by player. So in other words, a 16" x 20" of Billy Martin will cost the same as a 16" x 20" of Babe Ruth.
Anywho, again, if this post seems off or even uncalled for, I apologize.
If you have any questions about the painting that don't involve the auction process, feel free to contact me!
It really IS weird. Honestly, I can't even articulate how odd of an experience it is, especially since I'm so removed from it. But, I must say, the write-up was extremely sweet and generous - I was blushing by the end of the paragraph.
I couldn't wash Mucha's brushes. That man was a GENIUS.
<< <i>So you ready to do a Mucha inspired baseball piece yet? >>
You mean something like this except use Buster Posey's face? LOL I like Buster ... I could have used any current ballplayer.
STAY HEALTHY!

Graig ... it will be very interesting to see what the piece brings as compared to what you charged. It may not be good for the followers of your art work if it goes for more! (But it will be for you!) LOL

Though I don't think the final price will effect things all that much, since we don't really plan on putting our stuff in auctions or anything, but having it reach a high price will make me happier about the fact that it's there!
Graig ... keep us informed. GOOD LUCK with all your work ... as I have said over and over ... it is AMAZING!Too bad I don't go into the city from St. James too often. I'd love to see your work in person.

I must be living under a rock as to never have seen your artwork before, but its about the best I've seen. Only my opinion, but I like your work better than Dick Perez.
I just got back these two scans today and thought I would share:
Cy Young, 1903, 20" x 24"
Babe Ruth, April 23, 1935, 16" x 20"
I have a good number of paintings that I need to get to my photographers soon, but I'm waiting to finish this one painting I'm working on now, which happens to be bigger than I am. Not that most things aren't. But yeah, once it's done, I can get it all in a van and take care of it at once. I just hope it happens soon!
Soooo, I hope you guys dig these two for now. I've always loved both of the images, especially the Cy Young. I feel like you don't get to see a large amount of images of him with Boston from that period. It's amazing to think that during this particular year (1903), he was 36 and STILL went 28-9. Not bad.
The Ruth is pretty cool too in that it was his first return to New York since the Yankees had let him go. It must have been awfully weird to play in the Polo Grounds as a visitor for a National League team. Weirdness.
As per usual, any comments/critiques/declarations of hatred are always appreciated.
Graig ... I don't know what else to say beside what I have said previously ... Your work is AMAZING! They look like damn photos! Are you in Manhattan or Brooklyn?
STAY HEALTHY!

Ty Cobb, 1912, 9" x 12"
Al Schacht, 1936, 9" x 12"

George Van Haltren, 1903, 20" x 20"
The George Van Haltren is a new favorite of mine I think, and it's going to my brother as a wedding present. Honestly, how can you deny that mustache?
So, regardless, feel free to throw any comments my way. I hope you enjoy 'em!

Joe DiMaggio painting by Graig Kreindler
Anywho, the painting was put into the ring by one of our clients, a move that was/is in no way associated with us (my agent and myself). It was something that I imagined could happen at some point, and frankly still elicits some mixed feelings on my end. But that's neither here nor there.
