Sorry to clutter the Grow Bag with a new thread. I think all the Big Give threads are archived. This one may be moved to the clearing when you see fit. :)

That print looks awesome! I'm so glad that the person who won the Boehmke print appreciates it as much as you obviously do.

I hope he sees this thread, I'm sure he'll love this. :wub:

I hope he does visit and see the print. Hell, he's close enough--he can just drive down and see it! :D :D :D

Okay, what's the deal with your "Day 1" and Matt's "Day 17" (last I saw)? I like yours best!!! :lol:

:rock:

I so glad it arrived safely Bill, I hope there wasn't too much bubble wrapping. :lol:

It looks really great on the wall like that, exactly what I hoped.

My sig is the length of time since I stopped biting my nails, almost 3 weeks now.

And I'm glad you made a thread for this, we'll leave it here until we're sure everyone has had a chance to see it.

Hey, this isn't clutter! I love when we get to see prints all framed and in place.

Thanks so much for sharing. How beautiful !

Thanks everyone!!! It is awesome, and just like my beloved King books, it is the thing I get to admire everytime I'm here on the laptop. :)

Matt....plenty of bubblewrap, my friend! :lol: You know how us collectors LOVE packing material!!! :P

I also posted in the Calvin's Corner "new additions" area. So, if this one goes, there's always that one! :cool: :D

Lay off those nails, Matt! :shoot: :)

Well, I won mine in the auction, but if Boehmke hops over to see, now they can be all in one thread:

Oh, what a great frame! Perfect choice for that!

Thanks for sharing.

The woman at the frame shop was most helpful. She matched the color of the picture with the matte perfectly.

Oh and I LOVE the painting too!!! Pennywise never looked better! :) :) :)

Thanks for sharing. Very cool! Come on in Mr. Boehmke! :D

Daghain
06-28-2008, 12:23 PM
Yeah, I really hope he comes in here and sees how much we all like his stuff.

And yeah, that Pennywise freaks me out. :lol:

Mine is just a joke. Matt's is because he has stopped biting his nails for that many days (as a habitual nail biter I'm pretty damn impressed).

And Dags, I love the frame for that print - it looks awesome.

I texted Boehmke and told him to check out this thread. :D

Ricky
06-28-2008, 04:25 PM
I know it's terrible to say, but who is Boehmke? :blush:

boehmke
06-28-2008, 04:36 PM
All I can say is Holy Crap Wow I'm VERY Flattered!

The frames are worth more then the art!

RICKY!: I'm Boehmke

Ricky
06-28-2008, 04:42 PM
Well, I can now say that I'm completely embarrassed. The minute I ask who Boehmke is, he comes and posts. :blush:

I was looking through your homepage and was wondering if you do any other Stephen King art. I've seen the IT one that you did and it's amazing!

Ricky:

I have 2 pieces of art in the TowerWiki. And I did a bunch of stuff a few years ago when I was over at the other unnamed DT site.

I don't like it much now...but i'm sure it's floating around the interwebs somewhere :)
(or in a folder on my hard drive which I'll never show anyone!)

Ricky
06-28-2008, 04:55 PM
Oh okay, that's pretty cool. :)

You should definitely dust off that hard drive and upload some pics!!

NeedfulKings
06-28-2008, 05:22 PM
Wow!!! Dave, thanks for stopping by and checking out our (your) stuff! I admit that I hadn't heard of you before this contest and here you are. And you're right in my back yard!

Do you happen to have a gallery in Portland? My wife and I get up there quite often (I was born there).

Cheers!

*Matt* I'm still a chronic nail-biter. I like to just consider myself a personal manicurist. :P

Matt
06-28-2008, 05:37 PM
Hey boehmke! I must say, your art creates quite a stir. I hope we can do more stuff. :ninja:

The nails are an amazing thing for me, its changed my entire life.

(seeing as, for me, biting them was a way to feed my nervous nellie)

Daghain
06-29-2008, 09:32 AM
I keep telling Boehmke he needs to go pro. I think he could make a freaking fortune. :)

And then of course mine would be worth a mint. :lol:

Brice
06-29-2008, 10:42 AM
He's definitely good enough, but before he does I might need to buy oh....a couple dozen? :lol:

Daghain
06-29-2008, 10:43 AM
See, that's why I got in on the ground floor. I know talent when I see it. :D

Brice
06-29-2008, 10:46 AM
So, we just buy up some of his pictures and then start calling big galleries asking if they have anything by him so they hunt him down and start throwing contracts at him. :D

Daghain
06-29-2008, 06:41 PM
Exactly. :D

NeedfulKings
06-29-2008, 07:08 PM
I like the way you guys think!!!! :D

Okay, here's the strangest question of this thread (sorry Mr. Boehmke).

How do you pronounce Boehmke??? I take it the long way Bo-em-key.

Daghain
06-29-2008, 07:12 PM
I believe it's pronounced "bemkey".

NeedfulKings
06-29-2008, 07:13 PM
That was my second guess. :D

Daghain
06-29-2008, 07:18 PM
I think that's how Hannah said it on the giveaway videos. :D

NeedfulKings
06-29-2008, 07:34 PM
Showoff! :lol: ;)

Dave, I love my Boehmke from the"other site" Still need to get it framed. But it's AWSOME!!!! Thank you again :huglove:

Ricky
06-30-2008, 06:37 AM
I say it like Bome-key. It's terribly wrong, I know. :lol:

Hannah

Bemkey! (Like Dags already said.)

NeedfulKings

There you go. It's official! Though, I never doubted Dags for a second! :wub:

I'm happy to own a signed Boehmke (Bemkey!!!). :) :) :)

Daghain
07-02-2008, 06:37 PM
Me too! :D

NeedfulKings

No, YOU are! :lol:

I also own a signed Boehmke. :D I just need to get it framed and stuff.
