I've been helping a friend of mine launch his new website, specializing in custom oil paintings: http://www.repliquart.com/
I've been spreading the work among prop collectors, but after someone e-mailed us about possibly reproducing some J.C. Leyendecker paintings, I thought of posting here as well.
So if anyone is interested, we'd love to add some Art Deco style art (among other things), so feel free to contact Patrice via the website. I'm sure he could do Rockwell, Lempicka or other "golden era" artists.
Kind regards,

At less than $200 a piece, I would hardly call that expensive for a genuine oil painting.

Cool! It reallys aids the asian economy too. I'm sure you have a family crest or tree you want kocked off too. Good luck with those.
Geez, what's with the hostility here? I'm reminded of the subjects of the "Dumbest comment" thread in the Hat forum.
"One can’t stop progress, of course, but I’d really like to stick out my foot and trip it."
"A man either lives life as it happens-meets it head on and licks it. Or turns his back on it and begins to wither away."
If I offended you, I apologize. They actually have great skill with "western style" art don't they?
Sun shine lolly pops, and moon shine kises! All that glitters is really gold, all that glitters is really gold!
Hostility? I guess I should have said bigotry.
If it's not your cup of tea don't purchase one, but the gratuitous slams based on perceived origins of the artists are uncalled for. I salute Indy for his dignified response to BB's comments. I suppose BB wouldn't consider the paintings as having been "knocked up" if the artists were from Europe or North America, or if he would that the location of origin would then make the price worth it rather than the skill of the artist.
That's all I have to say on this subject.

Whether it's poem, or a painting, one views are always a reflection of ones own self. As a amateur artist, I can appreciate the skill it takes to duplicate such work. As this is a recession, as people are starving ( as I had to even lend money to a Friends wife to feed her children) we should of course save all the hard eared money we can. Excuse my ignorance, you must also call my values into question, what person could speak against this. Again, I must apologize for my ignorance. Have I no honor? How right you are to admonish my. Thank you
