Most Famous Player is missing (?) and speaking of famous, if custom sizes aren't a problem Famous portrait could be cropped to 20"h x 14"w (empty space from both sides off to resemble the baseball card more) but it's fine as it is now too. Oh, you're right, sorry, I'll fix that. Answer to other questions: I don't do this for a living, but I do collect fountain pens as a hobby and like to use them. I'm not skilled enough to call it "calligraphy" yet. I have all the canvases in my cart ready to order but I was told there might be a last-minute edit to the Nick canvas, so I didn't finalize the purchase last night. I'd like to order these canvases today though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

subbes Posted January 30, 2014 I studied German but always used the Neuter article for everything because I'm an idiot moron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then you lose the dots on the a - those also indicate that it's multiple If you want to say that Nick (singular) is the biggest baddest wine seller around you'd say Der Überweinhandler.

Blambo Posted January 30, 2014 Ah ok that's interesting. Is that a special case or a rule? So we should change the official name to Der Überweinhandler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tabacco Posted January 30, 2014 man, in hindsight, I should have had you ship the jake portrait to me, and then I could have left it, with no mailing label, on his doorstep. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brakke Posted January 30, 2014 WOW Rich/Cool Uncle Diptych is incredible. Would hang in my office, baffling everyone I know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Professor Video Games Posted January 30, 2014 If it weren't for the increased logistics and cost I would suggest spacing out the deliveries to like one a week or something (except Kotick/Allard which should obviously be together).

Shibboleth Posted January 31, 2014 There's still time to intercept the package before it gets to their office.

Justin Leego Posted January 31, 2014 On the other hand, having them arrive all at once is going to be pretty epic. By rights there should be a camera crew there to Reality TV it or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Merus Posted January 31, 2014 Intercept the packages before they arrive, then have people follow the Thumbs as they go to the Campo Santo office with the artwork so they pass each one several times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
