Hi guys.
This is my latest I did for Brock based upon a client's wants. I know it's not fish, but I guess that doesn't matter anymore does it?    

I really tried to emulate Grit on this one. I took the extra time and pulled out all of his tricks I know.

I am happy with it. I guess now I like to do people too, I had a great time making this one a reality.

Thanks for looking!
Craig

Very nice Craig. You are far too good at what you do to limit yourself in any way.

Great job Craig!

It certainly does have a Grit like look to it.

Some day I may just have to get you to do one of my guitars.

Craig, that's just great. Very elegant. You have the unusual ability to capture a mood as well as an image. That's a priceless talent.

An incredible piece of art Craig!

As Jerry said , You really have "captured" her.

Brock must be thrilled to bits . I'm going to hang a copy on my wall. Beautiful work!

Brock,

You're going to have to tell your client that he can only have 4 strings because you can't possibly drill into that inlay. Great job Craig

The shading on the eye is the same epoxy thing I did with the wolf and moon. It's far too cool to not use. It works great.

I'm out of here for a few days. I'll try to keep on line! Hopefully there's wireless..

Thanks again!
Craig


More soon...

Tell me about it. I was thinking all along that it would be good (because Craig was doing it), but when I saw this I about fell off my chair!!!!!

[QUOTE=highdrawlicks] Absolutely beautiful. Incredibly erotic. I'm going to print a copy of this and throw away my old Sears catalog. Just don't let the other Michael P view it. According to a message on one charity axe poll, he's even getting aroused by guitar bodies.
