If you have never seen his work you really need to check it out here.
From his website:
Graig Kreindler, born in 1980, grew up in Rockland County, New York. In 2002, he graduated with Honors from the School of Visual Arts in New York City with a BFA in Illustration and received his Masters in Art Education from Lehman College.
His award-winning sports work has appeared in juried shows and museums nationwide, as well as having been featured in nationally distributed books, newspapers, magazines, and both Internet and television featurettes.
Here is a time lapse video of Graig working on a painting of Ty Cobb.To Graig, no other sport embodies the relationship between generations and the sense of community like baseball. His goal is to portray the national pastime in an era when players were accessibly human, and the atmosphere of a cozy ballpark was just as important as what happened on the field. He is proud to act as a visual historian: recreating a history that he has never experienced, yet, like millions of fans, maintain a profound connection with.
I also wanted to just feature a few of his paintings, so here you go.
Gotta have a Marquard...
How about a Teddy Ballgame.
I just love this one of Ken Williams.
So check out Graig's website if you like his work. He has a bunch of great Negro League items for sale on his site as well; postcards, magnets, bobbleheads, shirts, etc. all featuring his artwork.
Enjoy the hobby all...it's a colorful one.
