After 2013 Leaf Masterworks I've been more interested in hand drawn sketch cards. They're unique 1/1 cards more interesting than most 1/1 parallels. I've been able to commission cards from 3 artists from that set so far to do Artist Proof cards for me and thought maybe some more seasoned sketch card enthusiasts could point me towards other known artists actively accepting commissions.

Artists I'm commissioned:
- Jim Kyle
- Chris Henderson
- Juan Rosales (FBC member)

Contacted but no reply:
- Justin Tigner

If you know an artist doing this type of work, please post their name and contact info. And a link to their work if possible!

Darvish Art Card(s)

The 2013 Topps Museum Collection produced art cards that they call the "Canvas Collection." The base is a cleaned up version of a sketch with "Topps Museum Collection" and "Canvas Collection" plainly visible at the top and bottom of the card. The artist (Brandon Kenney) created ten original, hand drawn drafts of the card which are hand numbered in red ink and signed by the artist on the card's rear. The original, non-numbered 1/1 hand drawnart card was auctioned off by the artist himself, and is also signed in red ink on the back of the card. The base card, CC-17 is neither signed nor numbered. But yeah, look up Brandon Kenney.

Hey BigUnit, it was a pleasure to work with you on the Randy Johnson AP. My wife works alongside me with Leaf, and did stuff for Masterworks and Best of Football as well. Let me know if you ever want to commission me again.

How much do these generally run?


Say I'd be interested in a nice color one like Ty Hope posted, of Shogun Rua?????
You're looking at a very broad range of prices. Usually full color is anywhere between $30 and $100. Usually around $50.

I just got in a new sketch card today & have to show it off. The artist is Anthony Douglas, search for seller 'sketchcardstore' on eBay. I asked him to do RJ's '89 Upper Deck rookie card and it came out almost too good. I had to hold it up against my face trying to see if it was an actual sketch or not, just flawless artwork. The one on left is my custom made Superfractor 1/1, pretty damn cool (notice my fake Big Unit UD logo bottom left). I have several more sketch cards on the way & am planning to commission a few more. I will post them all together once I get them all in-hand.

I thought I'd share all the sketch cards I've collected since creating this thread and show who did each. 2 are card company Sketch Inserts and the rest are commissioned. Off all the artists mentioned in the pictures, I fully recommend all of them except one. In the end I got the card from this person so I don't feel right about calling them out right here. But if you PM me with who you're thinking about commissioning, I'd be glad to give you a heads up if you mention them.

Also, my scanner is lame and these all pop in person much more than in these images.
