Ted Williams painted glove by my good friend Gregg Packer. I did the design and told him exactly what i wanted and he came through as usual.

Edit

That's cool Jake...I have the original Ripken artwork from the same set

A couple of my mosaic pieces
 

...all cut sports cards.

Babe Ruth Mosaic
 

This is made up of hundreds of Topps micro-cards 1991-1993. If you are standing right in front of it, it looks like a sheet of uncut cards. When you get farther away it looks like this...

That is seriously awesome. Did you make it and if so how long did it take to do?

Ron Lewis original artwork of Cal Ripken Jr. that was used for a Renetta Galasso "Baseball Hobby Report" magazine in the summer of '84:

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.

Wade Boggs Cut Card Mosaic Art
 

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

Great art everyone! Baseball art is an aspect of the hobby that I really enjoy.

Below is my Graig Kreindler masterpiece of Fred Clarke c.1902 (sorry for the two year old, bad lighting, cell phone pic). This is my favorite piece in my collection.

In a freak moment of insanity I consigned my Kreindler Ty Cobb paining (Net54 ID image) to REA earlier this year, and I regretted it almost from the day I shipped it. If you happen to be the new owner and care to send me a PM I'd love to know where it ended up.

Can't help with the Cobb or its whereabouts.

But I must say that's a gorgeous image of Clarke and very impressive framing job. Really love the way that one displays. Beautiful painting!

Maybe it's a stretch to call this art, but I love the work somebody did to these cards...

Thank you Mark.

Just thought I would revive this great thread with a link to our latest TSOG Video...

Hoping to see more original art from other members as well.

Thanks for looking!

That is amazing. What size is it?

This was a card I illustrated last year for the Louisville Bats when they honored hometown Negro League star Felton Snow. It was only given out at that one game.

I wrote a blog post about the illustration here if anyone's interested: https://studiogaryc.com/2022/08/31/f...ystery-solved/

Thanks Ben....

Pretty good size... It measures 30" high by 22" wide.

That's a beautiful piece, Gary...

I love the colors and the Diamond Stars "art deco" style. Awesome!

Mark McGwire
 

Found this beauty on Facebook marketplace. I know no one likes him anymore but I still collect his stuff.

That's amazing. And I think time is gonna view McGwire more kindly in the years to come. I still love the guy too.

Incredible work as always, Ben.

I don’t love him….but that’s a beautiful painting.

In the past couple of months I've acquired original artwork of Cal Ripken Jr. painted by Arthur K. Miller and Leon Wolf respectively:
