That Mathews patch is awesome.
Also, some of those look extremely rushed. The Youk is pretty sub-par compared to others.

Maybe I'm not as picky as some, but I think they look pretty nice. Sure some of the sketches aren't perfect, but I'd say all are pretty recognizable even if you don't have the player listed below (not something you could say about previous 1/1 sketch cards). In my opinion, saying these sketches are horrible is being pretty nit picky about some pretty nice art cards.
With these sketch cards it seems every time the very talented artists are given a small canvas along with a short time frame and a tiny budget. For that its good. Most of the time and as with this artist here they are way more talented than these cards show.
What bums me out is when the artist is given free cards to make their own to sell and they are so BEAUTIFUL its sickening. I wish those made it in the packs.

The art of the cards are not bad, I'll give it that. The configuration of the cards are awful. Who's bright idea was it to place the jersey right smack in the middle of the card and over part of the player? ::facepalm::

I thought I'd add that painting specific recognizable faces that tiny is no small feat. We're seeing blown up scans of very small paintings and being critical. I'd love to get any one of those. I do admit though, for the most part, if you look at the players where the face is larger on the card, they look better. I'm sure that's due to the difficulty of painting smaller recognizable faces, but none are bad in my opinion.

Perfect cards to destroy and make customs out of. "Art" and autos/gu look awful together IMO

I think those cards are amazing!
In regards to the artists getting sketches to sell for themselves, a lot of the artists make x amount of sketches, send them in, and whatever the company doesn't want, they can then sell as an artist's copy after the release of the product. Many times those are worth more than the ones that were inserted. I think this artist did an outstanding job, one of the better cards I have seen lately.

Poor Schilling looks like he has leukemia.
Youkilis looks like he normally looks......like an ogre who has to take a wicked dump.
