Great job with the Mattingly, the shadowing and his facial hair looks realistic!

Thank you! I appreciate you mentioning that - this was not the normal portrait.....the card is extremely dark, and there's really no card out there to replicate facial stubble. Leaving it off wouldn't look right, but make it too dark and he looks like he has a beard. It was a difficult piece, that's for sure!

I finally finished the Trout I was working on at the National:

Love the Trout! Taking my Mantle AS to the frame shop to have glass put over it, to keep the dust out!!!

Awesome! Would love to see it afterwards. I'm sure the frameshop will do it without asking, but I would mention spacers to them just in case. I'm unsure what would happen over time if that glass were to have prolonged contact with it.

My latest 2 pieces:

Banksy's Girl With Balloon (30" x 40")

1958 Mission Orange Mickey Mantle:

Also, it was a great feeling to hear Baseball Hall of Fame curator John Odell's thoughts of the Koufax piece that is in the Shoebox Treasures exhibit:

Here is my latest finished commission....the 1910 E98 Honus Wagner. The owner of one of the Black Swamp Find beauties will be hanging this one on his wall:

Had the opportunity to work this one, and it's the first time I've ever worked an entire slab. Very happy with the results!


Just over 3 feet tall. Made entirely from cut baseball cards:

I also had the opportunity to talk with John Dreker of Pirates Prospects recently. Fun interview that allowed me to dig deep into the experiences that led to this career:

Amazing, as always!
Got my labels for my Mantle and have them attached! THANKS!!!

 

[MrMet]

Omg that’s awesome! I was hoping when I saw the thumbnail that it was the uncensored version!
