Title: GCA Artwork
Post by: Emile Bonfiglio on April 22, 2017, 01:22:30 PM

I really like some of the things I'm seeing come out from people like Lie + Loft and Ball Park Blueprints. Anyone else seen anything cool out there?

You might like the bag patches I've made as souvenirs for people I play with.
This is a pet project of mine.

Lee Wybranski is fabulous. I think he is fairly well known on this site, and rightfully so.

I bought the Ball Park Prints for ANGC. Love the graphic design, but the paper stock isn't as high quality as I'd prefer. Their customer service is fantastic, though.


Here is something a little outside of "artwork" box. Call it functional art. http://putterlounge.com/ (http://putterlounge.com/) I sent them my longtime gamer- 1995 Scotty and they turned into a piece of art. Nothing gaudy, but its kind of fun knowing that mine is one of a kind.


Christian, those patches are a great idea and look excellent.

PLEASE consider going to the link below and purchasing some of these prints, either for yourself or for gifts for other golfers.

http://www.mikestrantzdesign.com/golfgallery.html

Not only are they prints of the actual drawings that Mike Strantz did to design golf holes (in and of itself unique) but a portion of the proceeds from the sales are donated by the Strantz family to the Hollings Cancer Center to help families who have a member undergoing treatment there afford lodging, meals, and the other myriad of expenses that come with those circumstances.

I'm sitting in my study typing this, with three of the prints framed and hanging in the room.  The watercolor of the 18th at Caledonia is the centerpiece of the room, really; even my wife loves the artwork that Mike Strantz did, and loves the story attached to these prints even more.

I don't care what else you find in the world or golf art, you won't find anything else better than Mike's work, and you certainly won't make a golf art purchase that does more good.

gca's own Josh Bills has only been painting for a few years, but his work is outstanding. I'm the proud owner of one of his paintings, and have also given them as gifts. If you're interested in a painting of a specific hole or course, Josh is your man.

 8)  No slight to others, but I second AG_C's note...


I have the Strantz Tobacco Road topo, unique stuff from a true artist who happened to design some courses indeed
