HF2008 Boehmke--Thank You Haven Foundation!
To all who made it a great experience.
A special thanks to Matt and Dora. You guys ROCK!!!
The box:
And the new home of the wonderful signed print:
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.
A true firewasp ninja would never wear such a ridiculous sweater.
There's logic in nonsense.
Give me all the bacon and eggs you have.
I hope he does visit and see the print. Hell, he's close enough--he can just drive down and see it!
Okay, what's the deal with your "Day 1" and Matt's "Day 17" (last I saw)? I like yours best!!!

What a beautiful piece of art. You lucky you.
Roland would have understood.
That print is gorgeous!!
Nice one Needful it looks great on your wall.
I so glad it arrived safely Bill, I hope there wasn't too much bubble wrapping.
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.
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
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 !

Remember, Remember, The Fifth of November, The Gunpowder, Treason, and Plot.
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!
I also posted in the Calvin's Corner "new additions" area. So, if this one goes, there's always that one!
Lay off those nails, Matt!

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!

Yeah, I really hope he comes in here and sees how much we all like his stuff.
And yeah, that Pennywise freaks me out.

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).Originally Posted by NeedfulKings

And Dags, I love the frame for that print - it looks awesome.
I texted Boehmke and told him to check out this thread.

I know it's terrible to say, but who is Boehmke?
A NEW GAME BEGINS
All I can say is Holy Crap Wow I'm VERY Flattered!
The frames are worth more then the art!
RICKY!: I'm Boehmke
Well, I can now say that I'm completely embarrassed. The minute I ask who Boehmke is, he comes and posts.
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!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
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!)
Oh okay, that's pretty cool.
You should definitely dust off that hard drive and upload some pics!!
A NEW GAME BEGINS
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.

Hey boehmke! I must say, your art creates quite a stir. I hope we can do more stuff.
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)
The kindness of close friends is like a warm blanket
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.

He's definitely good enough, but before he does I might need to buy oh....a couple dozen?
See, that's why I got in on the ground floor. I know talent when I see it.
