Amazeballs.
One of my favorite quotes about the Grateful Dead (from Bill Graham, if I remember) applies here: "They're not the best at what they do, they're the only ones who do what they do." You've gotten so much better over the years, it's frankly frightening. |

As great as these images look online, they don't compare to seeing the real thing where you can really appreciate the detailed work involved and just how close Tim gets to the original.
|
Tim’s work is incredible both for it’s quality and it’s creativity. These are museum quality pieces and I’m sure that in the future Tim’s pieces will be displayed at Cooperstown.

I have to say it again...and again...and again. You GOTTA start making prints available. I know your M.O. is to have each piece be a truly unique work of art for the eventual owner, and I respect that, but if you start producing prints for the rest of us, the original pieces will still absolutely be one of ones. There are plenty of photos of "The Creation of Adam" adorning people's walls, but to see the original you still have to crook your neck to look up at the Sistine Chapel's ceiling. (No hyperbole here. :rolleyes:)

Wow, awesome stuff

A shameless plug, since as I was running out of wall space, I put my King Kelly N162 in LOTG. It's an incredible piece and I hope the next owner will enjoy it as much as I have.

Thanks Tim!

Here's a pretty amazing setup that one client had built.....putting my Tip Top Mantle art alongside (4) of the cards:

In countless ways, that is amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
I agree completely. That is amazing.
|
Tim does amazing work. I’m shocked that the Kelly N162 piece in LOTG, one of only two N162 pieces that will ever be produced, has yet to receive a bid, even though it is opening at a fraction of current prices.
|
maybe you used up all your karma hyping the Jets bobble head booster pack
|
That might explain it. For all the hype on the Jets blister pack, which is the only one I have ever seen, I still ended up losing money on it. Oh well, make it up in volume.

A couple of recent commissions complete:

1933 Sport Kings JIm Thorpe
Finished this one earlier this morning. Cut football cards.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4874/...70e9f38f_z.jpg |
This is fantastic!
|
No pressure Tim, but if you picked up your pace cutting up the junk stuff in another couple decades the remaining ones might have some value! You need to hire a couple of apprentices!
That Thorpe is in the running for my all-time favorite. |
I know I'm repeating myself, but boy, those things are really FANTASTIC!
|
Simply amazing Tim! Jim's eyes are especially good. That touch of blue really pops for me at least.
|
I feel like it's the 1860's and some guy named Claude Monet is posting some of the stuff he's been working on.
Just absolutely, ridiculously awesome!!!!!!! |

I ran into Tim at the National. As an R card non-sports card collector I would love to see Tim take junk era non-sports cards and turn them into something like an R136 National Chicle Sky Birds #90 "Wild Bill" Wellman. He has gotten so good at this original art form. Every one of these is better than the last.
Thanks for displaying them Tim and someday I'll get with you on a non-sports commission piece. Until then I'll keep admiring them here. |

Some more baseball on the horizon, but it feels good to get this one finished and on the wall! 1958 Topps Jim Brown RC...cut football cards.
https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4911/...ec036d20_z.jpg |
Tim that Brown is incredible
|
Agreed!!!!! That Brown is incredible!!!!! Tim you're getting better every day!!!!1
|
With such a relatively small face, getting it so close is unbelievable.

Centering is wrong...
