Title: Cat Triple Self-Portrait
Post by: swolt on February 09, 2009, 05:34:11 PM
I had seen this picture and wanted to get it for Sara. I did a google search for "Cat Triple Self Portrait" and found this site and ordered it.
About two hours later I got a call from Jim Tweedy. He is the actual artist who made the painting. He said he saw my address was in Baton Rouge and wanted to know if I wanted him to add "some LSU stuff" to the painting. He said he has had several request like that. I said yes and told him how Sara is a huge LSU fan and how awesome this would be as I am giving it to her for Valentines Day. He said "Well what's her name, I'll sign it for her."
So I'm basically getting a custom painting. I'm very happy about this.

That's very hip!  Actual artwork is such a good gift.

So I found his website and did some looking around, and it turns out he does custom paintings for anyone.

BUT MINE IS STILL SPECIAL!
