Honor Father's Day By Giving Dad The Respect And Admiration He Deserves With A Gift From Thomas Blackshear's Fine Art Collection
From the smallest gestures to all their enduring love and support, fathers enrich the lives of those they touch. Make this Father's Day unforgettable with fine arts and collectibles from the Ebony Visions Collection , found at Collector Hub.

RIPON, CA, June 13, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the 100th celebration of Father's Day approaches it is time to reflect on all the ways that fathers contribute to the well being of family, friends and community. Unfortunately, Father's Day is all but forgotten in the midst of graduations, summer vacations and June weddings. Not so, for Mother's Day, when we lavish Mom with all sorts of presents. It's only proper that fathers be given that same respect with tokens of our appreciation that speak of strength, compassion and wisdom—all the traits we admire about Dad. Collector Hub offers gifts that portray these qualities, including Thomas Blackshear's intricately detailed figurine of President Barack Obama.

In a gathering with young men last Father's Day; President Obama expressed his feelings about fatherhood, telling his audience, "This isn't an obligation. This is a privilege." Blackshear's bust of the 44th President of the United States is an impressive work of art that captures the solemnity of President Obama and stands as a silent reminder that all men are created equal. Available at Collector Hub, the Presidential bust and figurine are part of Thomas Blackshear's Ebony Visions Collection.

Honoring the military, Blackshear's Ebony Visions United We Stand-Army is first in a four part series to commemorate the armed forces. With a salute to our forefathers, Blackshear's The Airman is another military figurine that pays respect to the Tuskegee Airmen who demonstrated courage and strength both here and abroad. These collectible pieces make endearing gifts that continue to please enthusiasts of Blackshear's work, many of whom gather at Collector Hub, the online community for those who collect and appreciate Thomas Blackshear's art.
