It was an ordinary day. Working on a framing job at Grebinger Gallery in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. I have matted and framed a few thousand pieces of artwork since I began working at Grebinger Gallery in 1999 after I retired from teaching. The owner of the gallery, Keith, was a former student of mine who gave me a chance to work part-time at something I thought I might enjoy during retirement. Well, it's been 19 years now and I'm still not tired of "heading to the gallery" to mat and frame whatever may come through the door. This past week I framed an autographed Philadelphia Eagles Brian Dawkins jersey as well as an autographed Philadelphia Flyers Bernie Parent jersey, but perhaps the job that I enjoyed the most was a limited edition print featuring my favorite musician, James "Jimmy" William Buffett.

The print along with the foamboard and mat. |
The edition number located on the bottom right of the print. |
Final result after framing. The image of Jimmy Buffet looks to be from the 1970s or 1980s and not from 2011 when the concert was held in New Orleans. |
Jimmy Buffet album from 1976. His image resembles his features on the poster I did. |
