This is a super take off on the Rockwell piece. Very funny and appropriate. Congrats. - T

Brilliant! I wish I'd thought of this idea, and I hope my seething jealousy is all you could ask for in a response from a fellow collector. Did I say "brilliant" yet? Because it is.

A really fantastic piece. This should be the cover of any Colan sketchbook released in the future.

I was shocked when I saw this piece, but for a different reason. After watching a Rockwell documentary a few months back I had a similar idea for a commission based on that painting, also with Gene in mind. I guess brilliant minds think alike! Congrats!

Gene's use of the mirror to show his face, eyes peaking over his glasses, is genius. Thanks for sharing, Crag!

The wit of both Gene and Norman blast through at the same time. A perfect recreation, a perfect homage.

Very cool & original, love the Norman Rockwell bit. I was lucky enough to meet Gene once & sit at his table with him for like 3 hours. Back in 1999 at the Thunderbird hotel in Minn, Minn. Great guy & funny!

Priceless, miss Gene alot, not only his beautiful moody artwork, but the man himself. He was a great guy & just a normal funny doown to earth guy. A class act & a true gentleman.
