My Babe Ruth original painting by Graig Kreindler 2007.

Not only is Graig a buddy of mine, he is an incredible talent. Judge for yourself. You will NOT be disappointed.

BTW... Graig will be in Cleveland for the National. Once I get his booth number, I'll post it.

I have a few pieces of original art.
Here are 2 examples, my smallest & largest

The Eddie Plank is from Helmar Beer and is scheduled to become a smaller card.
Hopefully it will be in their next series, perhaps this summer.

This piece was sent to me after visiting L.A. last year, Thanks again Anthony!
For some reason Drysdale face appears yellow in the photo, it actually has
flesh tones and is stunning against the yellow backround.

Here are 2 originals by Dick Perez, of Tony Perez. The latter is the original painting used to create his Perez-Steele HOF Card. It came from REA a few years ago, and I still haven't gotten around to framing it...

[Rob D.]

I guess you could call this a Cleveland version of a Willard Mullin.

Lou Darvas was a longtime, heralded cartoonist for the Cleveland Press. This is the original artwork for a two-column cartoon that ran in the Press Sports section sometime in the 1950s.

[thekingofclout]

Mark. Those Perez/Perez paintings are just fabulous. How did you acquire the first one?

Rob D. Boy do I love that Darvas. I have a Lou Darvas of the Bambino swinging in a tribute that came out in the Sporting News in 1948 the day before Babe Ruth Day at the stadium. It hangs in my living room (no wife). However my girlfriend is coming out from China tomorrow and maybe I can get her to take a picture of it and load it into my laptop. Darvas was a great cartoonist for sure.

This original drawing is from the Topps Vault and was featured on the back of Maris' 1966 Topps card:

At some point, I'll have to take a photo of my Darvas drawing of Rocky Colavito and post it here.

[perezfan]

Jimmy:
We really have some similar taste... I also have an original Mullin of the Bum and the same type of Topps Cartoon art. I will try to dig both up, and post them before too long.

Regarding the first Perez painting, it was also acquired from REA in the same auction. They had so many Dick Perez originals offered at once, that the prices remained fairly low. It was a unique opportunity, and in retrospect, I wish I tried harder for a few more. The only other piece I acquired at the time was the original Ty Cobb Watercolor used to make his Greatest Moments Card. A beautiful piece, which I sold a couple of years ago.

This is the original artwork for a Lucky Strike advertisement.

[perezfan]

Cool piece Brock... What time-frame would you put on it.... guessing '40s? Also, have you ever found the actual Lucky Strike print ad to go with it? That would be really nifty!

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

It would have to be early 1940's at the very latest, as Lucky Strike packs changed over to the now familiar white version during the war in an effort to conserve the green and gold paint for the war effort. The art deco feel of this piece would make me guess its date to be 1930's.

I collect Lucky Strike memorabilia (mostly ads). They have always been my favorite cigarette, and their ad artwork was normally outstanding.

[Pup6913]

This has to be one of the Best COU cards I have seen. Bought it on Ebay about 2yrs ago. Card looks and feels as real as my others I had. Graded COU by SGC then I sent to PSA and it graded an A because of trimming. Thats another story. Now it is just a Lesson to me and others that there are great artist (counterfieters) out there. And yes I removed it from the Slab

[BrockJacob]

Thanks for the info JBirkholm. I never did much research as to dating it. I just assumed it was 40's-50's time frame.
To answer your question your Mark, I have yet to see the print ad (assuming the design made it to print). Would love to see it if its out there though.

[perezfan]

Jodi's info on the green pack would indicate early '40s at the latest. Can't argue with fact, I suppose. I just thought the design and player's uniform looked more modern. Something about it looks more streamlined and tight-fitting than what one normally associates with the '30s era. Either way, it is a visually stunning piece... hope that someday you discover the actual print ad to accompany. Wouldn't it be cool to leaf through an old magazine and stumble upon it?

[baseballart]

Here's another Sporting News cartoon, this of Sam Chapman. Somewhat unusual in that colour background is present in the drawing, although I'm not sure whether that is just part of the printing process and whether it shows in the printed cartoon

Thanx to Scott Gaynor for auctioning this, which I bought for myself as a Christmas present. I was a bit shocked that the lovely wife agreed.

Love these post cards...

I wish I could figure out who "A. R. Smith" was, given that the scrapbook is all baseball oriented I think he may have been a player or connected to baseball in some way?

Doug, I TOTALLY agree on the pen and ink front. Great piece!

[baseball tourist]

Haven't received these yet (hope I don't jinx the postal delivery), but wanted to post the images of these, as I feel these are well done and was hoping someone would know something about the artist or what photos the poses may have been studied from?

Painted on canvas and in need of a cleaning, I understand. Any advice on determining how to decide on a prof. restorer would be appreciated. Max, could I impose on you and Jennifer for advice? Thanks!...chris

Of the very many characters Ross animated, he is most closely associated with Bugs Bunny, but also did a great deal of work involving Daffy Duck, Yosemite Sam, Tweety, and many others, including Road Runner and Wile E. Coyote.

Virgil Ross received the highest awards available in his profession: the Motion Picture Screen Cartoonists Golden Award (1984) and the Winsor McCay Award (1988). Four of the cartoons he had animated won Oscars.

One of my favorite artists is named Greg Spalenka. I was lucky to buy this original collage painting from him titled "Grand Slam". It was used in a magazine article describing how baseball has become dirtied due to it's corruption of huge saleries, players going to anyone that will pay the most & such. It has ripped up little pieces of a real dollar bill and has some 3 demensionality. If you would like to see more of Spalenka's work, please go to www.spalenka.com http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/foospaul/GrandSlamSpalenka.jpg

[FourStrikes]

these are from a collection of 49 one-of-a-kind ink drawings on the message half (back side) of postcards, 16 of them (shown below) featuring cartoon-style Baseball drawings relating to the 1912-1913 Minor League (Southern Association) Birmingham Barons...the front side of the postcards features different views of Birmingham, Alabama (sadly, none of views on front includes Rickwood Field)

the final scanned image features Ty Cobb signing his famous 1913 "reinstatement" contract, and is postmarked April 27, 1913, just a few days after the actual signing of the contract (link for the 1913 NY TIMES article re: the contract signing): http://query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9D03E2DD103BE633A25755C2A9629C946296D6CF

Something really endearing about those cartoon postcards. I'm of the impression that "Bill" is a baby sending messages to his Aunt Minnie via the pen of his cartoonist father. Is that reasonably what's going on? Great baseball content, wish I had some of the B'ham T210s to show. Any chance you'll post some more of these?

Monty Sheldon original Wagner Painting

[GKreindler]

:)

[GKreindler]

Great piece from Monty, Robert. I'm glad I got to see it in person last summer, as well as actually meet the artist. Aside from having some great pieces he was able to show off at the National, he proved to be just a really nice person.

Didn't you end up commissioning a ball form him as well?

[Jay Wolt]

Speaking of Monty Sheldon, I believe he did some of the original artwork for
the Helmar Beer card set.
The cards are then size and look of T205's
Here's an original artwork that's almost 8 x 10" w/ the photo that the art was taken from
and the finished product on the Helmar certificate.

I really like what Charles Mandel and the Helmar crew are doing. Best modern cards going in my opinion. I picked up this original watercolor at the last Chicago National. It was painted by Kalaish Raj and is about the same size, a tad smaller, than a T3. Snapped this photo of Monty Sheldon; seeing all his stuff at once was incredible.

Graig-
I commissioned Monty do this Victor Starffin ball for me in 2002.
He is working on a Starffin card for me now.
Hope to see you in Baltimore this year at the National.

[oaks1912]

Robert... Thanks for posting the scans of some of Monty's work. He's completed around 500 of the Artballs so far. Fortunately I own a few..:)... Jay... While Monty has done work for Helmar Brewing, he did not do any of the art for Series 1 cards. Exposure to that set is what put Monty in touch with Charles Mandel. He has since completed more than 100 works for Helmar. This past fall, Monty was approached by Topps and was invited to work on their Chicle (Football) series, along with other artists. He is currently finishing up several pieces for a 2010 Topps baseball series, which should be on the market in a few months...

David:

your observation is right on, if I remember correctly.....I think there's even one that relates to "baby Bill" being born, although I only posted the cards which featured the better Barons-related drawings ( there are others with Barons references, plus some re: the life of "Bill" in general )...I'll dig thru the others and maybe even upload a few more images that contain baseball content.

Hey Robert,

I totally forgot about that Victor Starffin ball. If I remember correctly, you told me about it in Cleveland. He was your favorite player, right?

I'm sure I'll be seeing you in Baltimore, though as of now, I doubt Dean and I will be exhibiting. I doubt I'm going to have the time to build up the inventory in time for the summer, as everything I'm doing now is commission-based. I'm hoping to have some time to paint some images for myself, but this year's looking pretty darn busy as it is (not that I'm complaining).

Either way, I'll be there that weekend, and I'm sure I'll do my best to annoy you guys. :)

Just wanted to share my Lou Gehrig sketch I received from Scott Silvers, the art teacher from Florida. Like others have said, Scott is a true class act and the pictures do not do the drawing justice.

Hey Scott!

That Ryan is great! Also really like those original Linnett drawings - picked up a few some years ago - the fine detail is really impressive.

Staying with your no hitter theme, I really like this original art I picked up of Koufax from the Upper Deck Masterpieces set. They had some incredibly talented artists commissioned for those sets.

WILLARD MULLIN

ROGER MARIS-DONE ON 1961 DURING RACE.

I did the research below and matched to the numbers/info within the sketch and determined that this was drawn before the game Wednesday, July 28 1961 during Maris' historic run for publication on Thursday the 29th, 1961. I think this exemplifies how negative the media was with Maris(including Mullin) and the pressure Maris had endured. Little did Mullin know that Maris would break Ruth's record that year, become MVP of the league, evolve into a great defenseman, win the world series and re-write history.

Harpers Weekly Baseball large Woodcut Art

I found two works by noted paperback cover artist TONY KOKINOS.

He illustrated many New York magazines with baseball, football and hockey subjects.

He was know for this 1958 NFL Championship painting (Colts - Giants)

[Scott Garner]

Hey Scott!

That Ryan is great! Also really like those original Linnett drawings - picked up a few some years ago - the fine detail is really impressive.

Staying with your no hitter theme, I really like this original art I picked up of Koufax from the Upper Deck Masterpieces set. They had some incredibly talented artists commissioned for those sets.

Thanks Marty!

Wow, that Koufax original art is impressive- very realistic!

Thanks again for allowing me to add the Vander Meer original art piece to my collection.

BTW, I think that Charles Linnett's original charcoal drawings are terrific. I really am proud to own one of them in my personal collection. I wish I owned the original Nolan Ryan in this collection. ;)

Here are two variations of Charles Linnett's Nolan Ryan charcoal drawing prints from the mid 1970's. The first is the standard Linnett Ryan print. The 2nd is a exceedingly rare Pro77 sock variation of this print. Pro77 socks were a product sold at JC Penny's department store in Southern California. This regional variation of this print is ridiculously difficult to find for a Nolan Ryan collector. Here is mine that Nolan signed and personalized to me back in the day. :D

I did the research below and matched to the numbers/info within the sketch and determined that this was drawn before the game Wednesday, July 28 1961 during Maris' historic run for publication on Thursday the 29th, 1961. I think this exemplifies how negative the media was with Maris(including Mullin) and the pressure Maris had endured.

Ben,

Great stuff as usual. When does the museum open?

Scott/Paul, thank you for the pat on the back. Graig made my taste in art look better than it most likely is. All of these were commissioned off original type 1 photos.. The G-man made it happen and hit the G-spot dead center. I mean.. What? As far as the museum goes... How fricken fantastic would it be to go to an exhibit of all the highest end memorabilia? Marshall Fogel had his collection displayed in CO, I read, and they extended the stay because of the overwhelming demand. I wish I would have seen that and had such a collection. Perhaps if modern medicine allows me to extend my life by a couple hundred years, I might have a shot:)

Hey Scott!

Seeing that JVM drawing and knowing it found a great home always makes me smile!

I am going to have to go back and dig up my Linnett drawings - I can't remember who I have! Speaking of Linnett, I really like this picture I found on the 'interwebs' from his family's site. A great picture of the art in process!

My original art collection is limited to this page of Clemente comic art, the colored version is a copy of the page as it appeared in the published comic, and this 1960 Bill Veeck Bill by Olderman. The Clemente piece is much too large for my scanner hence the cropped appearance.

[laughlinfan]

Thanks, Phil! Love your Koufax pen and ink drawings, as well! Kind of sad that the heyday of those artists and those types of drawings is probably 50 years gone now. I think back then almost every major newspaper either had their own or ran syndicated artitsts. More victims of technology, I suppose.

Bump for a great thread and some great artists. I've shown the fist one before from a great artist and super guy by the name of Scott Pedley. It is now framed and just awesome!

And the second one just arrived in the mail from Scott Silvers. It is based on a woodcut from the 1860 Brooklyn Excelsior Club. It is incredible to say the least and huge at a size of 20" x 30". He has been a pleasure to work with and his dedication to his school is amazing as the proceeds from his paintings go fully to his school! Thank you so much Scott!!

[jerseygary]

Thanks guys! I'm always reluctant to give away my art as presents because I feel like I'm forcing friends and family to hang it on their wall and the fact that my art is second nature to me and is easy. In reality everyone in my life loves to receive my art when I do give it as a present. I went back and forth between the portraits and a flask or something, but fortunately, my wife talked sense into me and told me to go ahead and do the drawings for my groomsmen. They went over great and made everyone happy. Guess that's why wives are called "the better half"...

Hi Carlton, that is a beautiful painting and great to see the associated publication!

The Prang painting is a modern reproduction but not a print...100% oil painting based on the original Prang lithograph. I had it done as a companion piece to the original Prang lithograph in my collection (the second one titled "A Stolen Base?"). I also collect some 19th century boxing items although very limited. Beyond these paintings, my idea of original art is woodcuts...it would be my dream to find an original baseball woodblock which was used in one of the 19th century publications. I have never seen one.



George

[repsher]

I've picked some of these up recently. They are trading card sized (2.5"x 3.5") and they are hand painted, not prints. I think the artist is very good. I actually have more on the way.

[cwazzy]

Those card size paintings keep showing up on one of my Campanella searches. Those look much nicer than the Campanella looks on eBay. If you get that one please let me know as I'd like to see a nice, detailed scan.

[perezfan]

Those Edward Vela hand-painted cards are beautifully executed. Really love those... especially the impressionist style and interesting backgrounds.

Thanks for posting :)

George,
Interesting item on your want list, that original woodblock...I agree I've never heard of one...if you get time email me photos of your 19th century boxing items, would like to see. May I ask who painted your Prang copy painting?...they did a great job!

Speaking of emailing....I don't know what the heck happened....I thought I was emailing you my question direct with photos of my Hy S. Watson football painting...I even noticed I didn't get an email reply from you!...I never even looked back on this thread till today...late night fuzzy brain I guess LOL...I wouldn't usually want to post a football piece on someone's baseball specific thread...Nevertheless thanks for your reply.....and apologies to the constituency for the intrusion.

I recently picked up this original piece of artwork that details the Cincinnati Reds and Johnny Vander Meer's run towards the 1940 Word Series. I believe the artist Russell was from the Cincinnati area and these ran in the Cincinnati Post and Cincinnati's News of the Reds team publication.

Here's a couple from John Barrett. A painter from Philly, I think. Got these 12ish years ago. He used to have a site earlybaseballimages.com, if I remember correctly. Anyone else have a Barrett? Mine is on wood. He also did canvas.

Here are a few by artist, Justyn Farano.

[ZenPop]

That main piece is one of the freaking greatest things I've seen.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Well done, sir.

These days I mostly do natural science illustration but back in the days when magazines and newspapers used to commission original art I did a few sports pieces. Here's a couple for the New York Times. - Ed

[ooo-ribay]

All of these pieces are original art that I own in my personal collection of guys that pitched at least two no-hitters in their career:

Nolan Ryan- Original watercolor by artist C Johnson. I don't know who Mr. Johnson is, but he has skill!

Bob Feller- This Week in Baseball newspaper cartoon by Hollreiser (circa 1970).

Bob Forsch- Original color pencil sketch by artist Amadee. This ran in a newspaper in St. Louis

Don Wilson- Charles Linnett circa 1973 original charcoal drawing and original photo that Linnett actually used.
From the Charles Linnett archive.

Johnny Vander Meer- Original 1940's artwork from News of the Reds artist
and original oil panting of net54's own Graig Kreindler (2012)

Just discovering this thread, so I may be wrong but......no Lincecum?

[ooo-ribay]

Some great stuff here.

Leroy Neiman? Not so much, IMHO.

Not exactly Kreindler quality. I was digging through a drawer and forgot I even had this thing. It was free, as I remember. :p

I have collected a dozen or so George Sosnak baseballs over the years. But I would have to say that, in my humble opinion, my last two finds are extraordinary. Enjoy...

I agree, those Sosnak baseballs are terrific. Some he would sell, but a lot of them were given away. Being a Koufax collector, I had to get the one below commemorating his 3rd no-hitter.

Thanks Scott, I can't imagine how long it took him to complete a baseball. I know when he died there were a lot of baseballs he had started but never completed.

[jb217676]

Sosnak balls are great, here's some photos of my one and only. Added the little description from my site:

1966 G. Sosnak St. Louis Cardinals Ball
This hand painted baseball by Sosnak celebrates the 1966 St. Louis Cardinals baseball club with team logo imagery and artwork of the team's biggest star, Bob Gibson. This ball has been signed in pencil by Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Red Schoendienst, Curt Flood and many others. Sosnak dedicated this ball to Winn Sosnak on the sweet spot.

There are some really nice pieces in this thread. I have some prints, nothing too fancy.

I have always wanted to own art from a local New York reporter/artist who used to write for the NY Daily New, Bill Gallo. He has since passed on, so I sure his art may be hard to get.

There was an artist who's name escapes me. His stuff used to appear in Baseball Digest. He used to draw stadiums with images of famous plays that occurred in that particular ballpark around it. I loved those pics and have been wanting a print of Yankee Stadium. Just need to find out his name.

I just recently picked up this 12" x 16" original art drawing of Boston Braves no-hit pitcher Vern Bickford and other no-hit pitchers that appeared in The Sporting News in 1950.

This piece is an obvious fit because of the no-hit theme for my collection, plus I love original art. ;) A deadly combo. :D

[ooo-ribay]

Very cool, Scott. Love the little vignettes.

[unclebaseballmike]

In the 1990's, this illustrator had done a series that was displayed in the front offices of the Chicago White Sox. I liked the mythical, legendary style. I commissioned him to paint the "Hitter" for me, only with a Giants ball cap. (23"x19" framed) fyi, I will probably be offering this for sale soon... Mike

[stone193]

I picked this water color up for 39 bucks - not attributed to anyone - but thought it was nicely done.

I'm happy with my 2 Arthur K Miller paintings, but I'm looking forward to hiring Mr. Kreindler to work his magic for me.

I also have a couple of his lithographs and the last thing I'm showing is a great art card of my cousin Whitlow Wyatt created from a photo of him I had never seen.

I recently picked up this beautiful Eddie Mathews drawing. It is also autographed by Eddie in blue pen. The only down side is the artist did not sign it so there is no way of knowing who they are.

[perezfan]

Beautiful piece. Believe it or not, I have the original Type 1 Photo that was used to create that artwork. It’s a very rare rookie image of Mathews, and the only original I’ve ever seen.

Perhaps the two belong together? If you are interested, shoot me a PM. I am open to selling it if you like it. I’ll attach a picture of the Mathews Rookie photo... please just ignore the camera glare, and thanks!

[perezfan]

Ugh... this site always rotates the picture unnecessarily. Will try one more time, with the flash to the right of Mathews this time...

Edit- sorry for the sideways pics. Nothing I do seems to fix it.

I was finally able to purchase 2 Kreindler originals- Thanks Graig!

Reviving this thread with the newest piece in my collection.

This 5x7 painting was commissioned by Topps for their 2018 Gallery set and is the very image found on Zack Greinke's card within the set. The art was created by Dan Bergren and was done as a pencil sketch with airbrush for the background, flesh tones and larger sections featuring color, while acrylic paints were used for the finer details and the uniform.

Greinke only appears on three Gallery cards featuring original art so far throughout his career and as far as I know is not featured on any original art in other Topps sets.

I realize that this piece is quite new compared to much of the artwork shown in the previous posts however, that is one of the reasons I was drawn to the piece. Now don't get me wrong, I love baseball cards and there are many great issues and sets produced these days, however, in a day and age when a new card can be designed, edited and printed at warp speed, there is something refreshing to be found in this piece and as someone who dabbles in art myself, I can also fully appreciate the talent and detail that a piece like this commands!

Honestly I stole the idea. I saw one sell in a big catalog auction. It sold for pretty big money. I thought, I could make one myself. So I got the largest photo blowup of the item in the auction. Then I went though all 3 Topps micro sets and found each card one by one. Believe me that was the hardest part. Using a magnifying glass on a small photo and trying to figure out who each card was. Took a very long time to do that. But then once you have them you just glue them to some foam board. then find a frame to fit it. I've seen a few others mosaics of other players using the micro sets and they are pretty neat. they actually sell a program that you can scan in the small bits you have to make a mosaic and it will organize them for you to make the picture you want. But I was unable to figure out the software. Plus you need to scan in all the cards individually but then you would have a data base to make anything.

It displays best if you have a long line of sight before you get to the mosaic. Like at the end of a hallway or large room. When someone looks up it is obvious who it is but as they get closer it disappears.

I received this amazing piece in the mail yesterday. I could not be more happy with how great it turned out. It is 11X17 inches and cost me a grand total of $106.50 delivered to my house. The whole process was very easy and the artist was a pleasure to deal with.

I chose this design for a couple reasons. First is Wade Boggs is my favorite player. Second, is the coolest cut card art I had seen was Tim Carroll(sp?) did the 2013 SSP 1989 All Star Derek Jeter card. My only regret is I have enough Wade Boggs cards I could have easily had mine made using only Wade Boggs cards.

The artist is a member and here is a link to his post in the BST section.https://www.net54baseball.com/showth...10#post2158910
