Blaine has been with us here at the academy for almost 6 years now and I feel he has reached a real milestone with this latest work.

Go on I dare ya.

As long as we're sharing more details, I figured I'd also leak the tube art...

Striking! I especially like how this piece maintains strong iconography while working in impressionism. Will prints of this be available for purchase in 25X60? I would love for a copy to be the center piece in my parlor.

I also like the little "Flying mustaches" or whatever they are.

Seagulls, man. Seagulls.

I'm pretty sure the "seagulls" are icons of the fake mustaches big brother wears while watching over us.

No, no, no. ..you see, this knife is so classy that the label needs four handlebar mustaches to adequately convey how classy it is.

Actually it needs several monocles.

White tie to go with the ivory. White tie dinners are too rare these days.

Have you tried to buy a white silk bowtie recently? It's painful. And I have a 19" neck, so those adjustable ones don't work. (White tie is still mandatory come Mardi Gras or deb season.)

Thanks for the artwork preview, will the tube art be available to download as wall paper for the computers

Tell the truth. You went to art school, didn't you?

Nope! All raw talent there sports fans. You can't teach that stuff, either ya got it or ya ain't.
Pretty plain to see... Blaine's got it!

I just wish he hadn't spilled the beans yet. This art work is going to make this years forum knife an incredibly sought after item, with limited pieces available! A true scarcity Why you'd be able to sell your extras at 3X the original price!

I do believe in ghosts, I do believe in ghosts, I do, I do, I do believe......

 

[akadave2]

...hmmmm....

 

[sturzi]

Hahaha, I read the stuff about the tube art in reverse order. Now that's some serious buildup of expectations, with a loud laugh at the end

Now I can't wait for the first pictures...

 

[pmew]

I love seeing new posts popping up in this thread. Dave, that's gorgeous!

Just an update: Check for the deposit on the knives was sent off and GEC should begin production any time. THanks for your patience.

At this point, preorders will be closed.
