Here is Robert E Lee. Had to deal with a lot of "grays" using just white lines on black.

The Theodore Roosevelt Association decided to use my digital etching on their web site to promote their annual meeting. I sent them the Xara PGD9 etching and they did the cropping and insertion into a graphics banner. They have access to every phot of T.R. ever taken, so it is interesting that they selected this drawing for their banner. It shows that this technique has a graphics quality that can enhance a standard photo. I think they did a good job. If they were smart they would make T shirts or coffee mugs with it.

Kudos! That is great news. He was a great president and that is a great rendering.

Congrats WildRice. That sure would look good on a coffee mug and/or T shirt

That's really great.
Well done indeed.

I suggested the T-shirt and coffee mug idea to the Theodore Roosevelt Association and they are definitely thinking about making a coffee mug (swag/memento) for the attendees at their annual meeting. I don't think they are T-shirt type people. The banner design would look good for the event swag item. The full portrait would be good on a more timeless coffee mug for sale on their web site, but what do I know.

The American Roentgen Ray Society (one of the major radiology journals) is interested in my Wilhelm Roentgen portrait. I am a radiologist. Sadly 9 out of 10 of my radiology residents can't identify him (no sense of history with young people nowadays). They all can recognize Miley Cyrus though.

My Xara digital etching technique lead to a newsletter article with one of the major publishers in my field of Radiology. Here is the article about how radiologists need to develop their artistic eye. The editor said it was the best article she has produced and doubts that seh will ever be able to top it. Tell me what you think.
