Jon lester & Big Bertha
I received final approval on the Jon Lester Design and I have some really exciting news to report. Jon's Agent requested that a number of prints to be donated directly to Jon so he can auction them for his charity - which of course I'm MORE than willing to do. He also asked if he could have some prints for Jon's own personal use, which i found to be a really nice compliment. So as a result, I'm planning on donating the first 20 numbers in the edition to Jon for charitable use. I of course got right to work and spent the day printing the first color which is a metallic silver.
Below is what it looks like at this point - with one color applied. The other two will be done hopefully sometime this weekend:
The final will look like this:
I bought a new Squeegee today which is probably not of much interest to anyone but it is always a real plus for me. Having good equipment is key to printing quality editions. Much like a boat, I tend to name my squeegees, giving them a little personality. I spend so much time with it that it might as well have a name. I never throw my old ones out either - instead looking at them like old soldiers, battle weary and ready for a quiet retirement. Anyway, the new squeegee is larger than any other ive had, so its called "Big Bertha" File under: Get a Life.
Celtics pulled out the greatest comback in Championship history last night. An incredible game that im sure we will be talking about for years to come - if that is, we win the series. I know we are up 3-1 but dont forget the 2004 ALCS.
Chris, the Lester print looks gorgeous - what a great moment to immortalize. And donating those first prints certainly is a no-brainer - good for you man...
