Some artwork for Omar Vizquel
 

Just finished with this piece for Omar (made from cut baseball cards). He'll also be signing a few prints for me at the end of June. I decided to use his native Venezuelan flag as the backdrop; and although the Detroit Tigers made the connection between us, it was pretty easy to go with Cleveland as the team. I used Omar's cards as much as possible, with the entire bottom right-hand corner filled with his 1990 Donruss card. I also used only his former teammates on the rest of the background. I'll have Miguel Cabrera's piece finished soon. Thanks for the look!

My all-time favorite baseball player -- Pretty cool piece, Tim. Thanks for sharing.

Omar is an artist as well.

That's pretty cool, and I would imagine it takes time to match up faces with pieces of cards. Pretty amazing actually.

Awesome :)

Love your artwork! Thanks so much for sharing!

Tim that's impressive. How long did that take?

Very impressive!! I love your work.

Love your work Tim. Can't wait to see your Miggy piece.

Thank you all for the words of encouragement!

Omar is one impressive talent. 20+ year MLB career, classical guitarist, artist - I think he can do pretty much whatever he wants. I definitely viewed it as a feather in my cap when he asked for me to create this.

Thanks, guys! This particular piece somewhere in the 50-60 hour range.

LOL, thank you! I guess it's like painting, except my "paint" can't be mixed to create the tones/shades, etc. that I need. The great thing is that there is zero shortage of cards to find what I am looking for.

Thanks! The Cabrera piece should be finished in the next day or so, as I have been working on the pair together.
