Art by Tim Carroll

You asked for it, and you got it.  I have received COUNTLESS emails asking for my Abraham Lincoln piece - "The Emancipation" - to be highlighted a little better than a couple of pieced-together photographs.  So, I decided to give it a page of its' own.  High-quality signed prints (limited to 200) are also available for $30 each.  The prints measure 16" x 20".  To order a print, contact me at:  timcarrollart@yahoo.com.

Back in May of this year, I was watching a documentary on the life of a man that has inspired Americans for almost 150 years.  I took one of his most famous of speeches - "The Emancipation Proclamation", and I used my set of graphite pencils to write it over and over, left-to-right, with the words seperated by a single dot.  While I wrote it, I used a softer graphite (5B) to make some of the letters (and parts of letters) darker.  When I finsihed, I had a piece that I am extremely proud of:

This speech is highly inspirational.  I have taken other famous speeches, songs, and quotes and have expanded this idea to include other subjects.  Lou Gehring in "Lucky Man" is in a link to the left.  I am currently working on two other subjects, with 4 more still in the draft stage.  Hopefully, they will all turn out as well as this one.  THANK YOU FOR VIEWING!
