You're welcome! Sometime tomorrow, I'll have them up on his site and there will be even larger images. I'm a huge fan of Simmie too!

Thank you Cynthia, these are much better images! These paintings are very impressive and the color is wonderful.

I just got ahold of a copy of Simmie's one-page article in June 28 People Magazine.

Is that teal suit the actual outfit the First lady wore, which Simmie Knox changed to black? Wow, that was a bold decision!

If you want to view a video clip of the White House unveiling: http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/relea...40614-2.v.html

Unfortunately, they never once showed Simmie or brought him up to honor him except to mention his name many times, despite the fact that Simmie was right there in the audience.

Simmie Knox in Savoy Magazine: Power Issue 2005
 

Not to change the subject too much about Simmie Knox being on TV, but......(as my lovely wife pointed out to me this evening, while at CVS in the magazine aisle)

FYI:

Simmie Knox is currently featured in a well illustrated and complimentary article, on the news stands in Savoy Magazine. This is the "2005 Power Issue" with Barack and Michele Obama gracing the cover. You had better hurry up if you want one because the small print under the price, says display until March 1st! I have not read it yet but it appears to be more great publicity for Mr. Knox. The portrait of President Bill Clinton is well displayed in a large reproduction, along with several other noteworthy portraits of prominent African Americans, like Mrs. Bill Cosby, and the late Hon. Thurgood Marshall.

Get your copy while you can this weekend!
