If you are interested in a specific subject or species, lemme know. I keep a decent stock of rubbings on hand and will also do commissions as I am able. -G
J JohnnyP Tiki Socialite Attica, MI Joined: Nov 23, 2005 Posts: 1695	J JohnnyP Posted posted on Mon, Jan 28, 2008 4:50 PM Gman's work is incredible. They look a lot better in person than they do in his photographs, even though they look stunning on line. We are the proud owners of few of these and here is one that we had time to get framed and hung. These are just too cool. We are excited to have this on the wall. As soon as we get another room painted we will hang the rest. It's bigger and makes a grander statement than the photo shows, the frame is just under 4 feet long.
