[greg robertson]

Thanks, I'll keep em coming if you want to see more - open to suggestion as well

 

[Tracy Smith]

How about one of the Californian?

 

[greg robertson]

yeah, i could try and do a good picture of the californian, she is harder to do tho as not many pictures are available of her.

 

[Iain Stuart Yardley]

Morning Greg,

Ever thought about doing a sinking picture?

Or what about internal pictures - Grand Staircase, engine rooms etc.?

Cheers,

Boz

 

[greg robertson]

yeah interior views might be a nice idea.
Im thinking of doing a Queen Elizabeth and United States together.

In the meantime, he is the Californian I have just competed this am.
It depicts her leaving the disaster site on the morning of April 15th:

 

[Alex McLean]

Greg,
Those are amazing! How many pictures all up have you painted? Personally, I'd like to see one of the sinking Lusitania, maybe just as her funnels collapse. It is an image I've carried around with me for quite a while now, and with your amazing talent, it could easily become a reality.

 

[Arne Mjåland]

I kindly ask you to to one of the Samson. If you can. I am looking forward to what it is going to be like.

 

[greg robertson]

There are loads here Alex piles of drawings - I try to do a couple each day - it keeps my hand in.
Sinking Scenes and wrecks are not my forte however they seem to be the one thing that Im weaker at.

 

[Tracy Smith]

Thank you, Greg! That was very nice of the Californian.

 

[greg robertson]

This is for you Arne:

SAMSON

 

[Adam McGuirk]

Greg what amazing talent! You think you could do one of Titanic sinking as the first funnel is collapsing?

[greg robertson]

I need a lot more practice to try and complete sinking scenes as they cause problems for some reason, they are my weak point.
Titanic was also at night time, harder to create with a ballpoint pen
