      Found this "accidentally" while looking through the various projects. My father was an artist too, and I felt your love for your grandfather come through. Good Job and Good Luck!

All of the above, plus the chance* to have dinner with the artist and me, if you are in the New York City area. *Winner of the dinner will be chosen at random from $250 and over donors. (Jim doesn't really have the stamina to meet groups of new people.) If there are only 2 or 3 donors at this value, and they can all come at the same time, one large dinner will be arranged.
