It was a joke as the card is well-centered and the vast majority of browns aren't

Hey, Tim, how about making a video (or even taking still pics along the way) to document and show us your process in turning a blank page and a huge pile of baseball cards into a work of art?? That would be pretty frickin' cool.

I take stills from time to time, so it is possible to put something like that together. I'll be working on a piece again at the National this summer also, so if you're in Chicago.....you can see the creation process live.

I always hated the 1986 Topps design ever since it came out when I was a kid, but for some reason always loved the Traded Bo Jackson portrait. That card just looks great and pictures such a great athlete. Awesome piece Tim. Again.

Despite how limited your medium is, you capture the essences of these images so well. It’s beyond impressive. Keep ‘em coming!

Is satch for sale or is that a commission piece ?

These are fantastic pieces of art. Keep up the good work, and maybe late 80's and early 90's cards value will rise due to less supply.

Back to the grind! Here's my latest....a commissioned 1957 Topps Roberto Clemente. As I will do with all Clemente pieces from 57-69, I made the alteration of his first name from Bob to Roberto:

Finished....my tribute to one of the greatest works of baseball art of all-time. From the cover of the April 23, 1949 edition of the Saturday Evening Post, Norman Rockwell's "Game Called Because of Rain."
Over 300 Hours, over 4,000 common cards used, and the final dimensions are 34.5" x 37".

Tim- I think this is your best work yet!
Simply Amazing! I'm sure Mr. Rockwell would appreciate your 'cut' on his work. .

Put your 'Rockwell' in The Louvre and the foot traffic to the Mona Lisa would completely disappear!!!

Okay, I had to do some sizing, warping and distorting type of finagling in photoshop to get the images to 'match' (the Babe Ruth artwork pictured on page one wasn't a result of a perfectly flat scan), so it's not dead on, but here we go anyway...

Finished with another commission. 1981 Topps George Brett:

Oh man, that Brett was one of the original cards I owned. My brother went in to have his tonsils out in 1981 and I bought him two Rack Packs and the Brett was in one. later I won it knocking down the leaner.
It had "AP" written on the back in crayon (We decided to make our own baseball All-Pro teams) and dead round corners and my heart broke when I somehow lost it in a move. Interesting question, would you consider making an off-grade card?

As for the off-grade - I have a commission coming later this year that will be exactly this. It's going to be epic.

Devon White always seems to get into the pieces, although I have no particular reason for putting him there. Otis Nixon, Bob Welch, and Franklin Stubbs are others that pop up often.
