"Garfield's exotics" ...the drawing of a special Mondial T Cab

Thanks,
If you think that my drawings need colors, you will have no idea of how they look for real.....everybody else will say that it would be a huge shame to colorize a work like this! Besides......real art works takes a little imagination from the person who looks at it......otherwise you could simply look at a photo!!!

 

Thanks Dave,
I've just been very lucky, being blessed with this gift!

 

Dear Hank,

Thank God it made it in time before Christmas, and Thank God it made the long trip in perfect condition! Thanks for letting me know Hank!
You really won't need cotton socks to handle the drawing, I assure you! Just take care to have clean and dry hands before handling the drawing,...... it's not THAT fragile!!!
I included some prints in the mailing tube as well, so you don't need to handle the original drawing each and every time you wan't to look at it, until it's framed!
I really hope you will like the content of the mailing tube, (...and that you will get a pleasant surprise) when you finaly opens it up!!

Tina want's me to say hi

Merry Christmas my friend!!!

With love and respect

Sincerely

Carsten

 

@Hank,

So.....did you open it yet???

 

Dear Hank,

Thanks a lot for the Christmas card Hank, it's awesome, and I really like the idea!!!
You totally got me by surprise, and I still have a hard time believing this is true......maaan, I'm so honored!!!!
It's very beautiful, and I love it a lot......the sticker on the envelope is awesome too!!!
I'm very proud and honored to have my name on your Christmas cards this year.......thank you so much dear friend!
I hope you got the Christmas card from us too?!! Tina sent it prior to the tube with the drawing!!

A big Christmas hug from the three of us, and again a huge thank you for this great card and the awesome idea!

@Everyone,

Look everyone, this came with my mail today from Hank! A total surprise for me and my family! Hank deserves the credit for the idea for this wonderful card, and not least the sticker in the upper left corner of the envelope!
It's the most original Christmas card I have ever seen! It's so beautifully printed and made and I will keep it forever with my memorabilia!

I hope that means that you're not too dissapointed......????

I think that what amazes you by seeing the original is, just exactly how many thousands of lines that went into the drawing!
Everyone of those lines comes from the bottom of my heart, and although I hope you will enjoy my work for many years to come, it will only poorly show my respect for you Hank!

Merry Christmas and much love

Sincerely

Carsten

 

WOW.......that is one very nice frame Hank!
It gives me so much pleasure to see that you got the drawing so beautifully framed dear friend! I really like it with that frame!! Thanks for posting this Hank!

With love and respect

Carsten

 

So true, it's all about a common passion and worldwide friendships across borders and oceans!!

 

Thanks for the kind words Hank,
It's been my great pleasure to share my work with you guys here!
The "thousand words" cannot be said better by anyone but you Hank!

With love

Carsten

 

Lithographs of that drawing are still hanging in our own livingroom as well as in Tina's parent's hall, together with a lithograph signed by the seven time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen!!!

Thanks for the bump Hankster.......And thanks for your email with that wonderful idea of yours!
I just didn't had the time to answer you yet dear friend......but to put it short....your idea is bought!!!


With love N,T & C-man

EDIT: Just went through this thread once again......it really brings back happy memories of many, many joyful hours and reminds me of a heartfelt friendship, across oceans and continents, that will never end!!

Thanks again Hank

Cheers

Carsten
