    LM-5GMT drawing by Peter Max!

    Very nice of him to do this for us. He traced the watch I had on my wrist. He will soon be the owner of an LM-5 GMT with a blue/red sapphire insert.

    He's gotten quite monochromatic since the last poster I saw of his...40 years ago!

    I absolutely love the work of Peter Max, in general. And, perhaps the quick sketch for Mitch is more of an emotional connection kind of tribute that has a lot of meaning for Mitch and a real keepsake worthy of framing.

    But, for me, it doesnt ring true of a Peter Max work of art that we normally associate with the artist.

    And, I am not saying that Peter Max did not do the sketch. I am just saying that personally I do not find it particulary impressive or that if I saw it without the notation that Peter Max had done it that I would never guess it was a piece of art by Peter Max.

    I suspect there's a few Picassos around that could probably have been described the same way!

    It is just a quick sketch he did with a magic marker. It certainly is not representative of his work. It's just neat, that's all.

    A unique item you have in your possession. From an appraiser's perspective, very hard to put a value on but it's worth $.
