Hi All....
A friend of mine, Rich at Sports Collector's Daily, sent me here. He told me that "what I do" might be something that the collectors of this board would like to see. My name is Tim Carroll, and I am an elementary teacher by day - and an artist by night/weekend. I enjoy taking materials that have a special symbolism to a specific person and I make a portrait/action shot of that person with said materials. Examples? "Shoeless" Joe Jackson from 19 cut black socks, framed with 8 white socks. Ty Cobb from peach pits. Ted Williams from toothpicks. Most importantly, I cut modern baseball cards into small pieces and use those pieces to form my favorite vintage baseball cards. Here is my '54 Aaron from cut cards, to give you an idea:
Thank you for letting me share my art with you. You can see any of the pieces mentioned above, and many, many more at:
