Every year, The Felony Foundation has an Annual Christmas Card Contest. Catfish has placed several times over the past years. God is SO FAITHFUL!!!~~~
Poppa* commissioned Catfish to prepare this beautiful card to be sent out to The Felony Foundation's new Partners to welcome them to TFF. Poppa* had a vision of what he wanted to see on the card and Catfish brought it to fruition. Catfish is an Amazing talent.
Last year, Catfish surprised Poppa* with this exquisite Portrait. Poppa* has it proudly displayed in his living room for ALL to see. God is GOOD!~~~
Each year, we have an entry deadline of October 1st. The winner is featured on our NEXT YEAR's annual Christmas Card.
Shortly after Poppa* met Catfish, I learned that he is an Amazing Artist! Catfish has blessed The Felony Foundation with many of his beautiful creations! God is GOOD!~~~
Every year The Felony Foundation has a Christmas Card Contest. There are 3 Places in the contest. Poppa* does not vote in the contest. We have a Selection Committee.
Catfish is such an Amazing Artist, he has won First Place multiple times. God is GOOD!
This card touches Poppa*'s heart because it reminds me that when we have someone close to us behind bars, we are doing time with them...
Jim B. Estes's HOME PAGE
Poppa* approached Catfish with the idea of Catfish assembling a portfolio named The Catfish Series. He came up with some good ideas. This is his first submission.
I know that he would Love to hear from you. And as you can see, he is a very accomplished Artist. Perhaps, you can help each other out. As many of our incarcerated Partners, Mr. Estes does not get any financial help from the outside World. It would be great if you could commission him to help you with your artistic needs. God is GOOD!~~~
Poppa* met Jim at the Neal Unit in Amarillo, Texas. Jim goes by the nickname "Catfish". Poppa* and Jim had mutual friends, so we had a couple of conversations. After Poppa* was released, we have exchanged numerous letters and I have gotten to know him much better on a personal level. God is so FAITHFUL!~~~
