Newest Reproduction
'Russell Paints a Masterpiece'
Here is Andy's latest reproduction featuring Charlie Russell and his friend Joe DeYong admiring Russell's work. It's a great piece and there's limited quantities, so order yours today!
Andy Thomas’ piece ‘Russell Paints a Masterpiece’ was brilliant, it captured Charlie Russell in his atmosphere doing what he did best. Thomas brought to life a letter written by Russell’s friend Joe DeYong, whom is also in the painting; the letter dated back to November 10, 1914. It was written to a friend Paul Eldridge, describing Russell’s traits while in his studio, as well as some of the paintings he was working on at the time. Follow the link to read the letter from Joe DeYong that Andy used as reference for 'Russell Paints a Masterpiece.'
Andy managed to depict nine of Russell’s works into his own painting through the eyes of DeYong. Some may call that risky to attempt to replicate paintings by someone as famous as Russell, but Andy tackled it with no problem, while creating what may be referred to as a Thomas masterpiece years ahead in history. At first glance you may think it was an actual picture rather than a painting. I can say, it’s one of my all time favorite pieces by Thomas because of the realism.
Andy Thomas always finds a way to surprise the art world. I wonder what surprise his canvas will have for us next. What do you think it will be? I guess we’ll have to wait and see, since Andy is so versatile.

Artist Proof (AP) vs Signed & Numbered (S/N):
Many people ask what is an AP and wonder if there is a difference in quality? There is absolutely no quality difference and it is an artist tradition to make a small artist proof edition. Artist's Proofs go back to the days of hand made presses. The artist would actually crank the press, print the print and check the colors. If they didn't like the red, they changed it; they did these adjustments until the image was to their liking. They were truly proofs. Today, it is just a tradition since technology has made leaps.

What is "Timeless Edition?"
These prints are a new edition, which are signed and sequentially numbered reproductions. They are not limited edition prints, but are numbered in order as they are produced. For example, every item will be signed, but each item will have a different number from eachother. They are the same level of quality as the limited edition items.

Callin' the Red, Callin' the Blue, Grand Ol' Gang and True Blues
are truly the most exciting project that Andy has worked on. It took weeks and piles of research material just to begin the paintings. Countless sketches of presidents and layouts were done to come up with the originals. With these two paintings Andy has captured the spirit and likeness of some of our nations greatest presidents. You can just hear the muttering between them as they play a friendly game of poker. Again, the creative side put them in the back ground of the convention centers of years ago and ifyou look closely you will find various items that were related to them, each in their own way. Reproductions are available through this web-site.
