Keep up the good work. I especially like the Palmer with the exception on maybe going a little to "red lipstick" on the lips  |
Mark,
Thank you! The lipstick is intentional, of course. I wanted it to pop big time! I have updated the Brooks. I went back to the drawing board....literally...and now have a flexichrome '52 for him as well...
They don't look too different, actually. I do prefer the Flexichrome version, however. I gave it a more traditional crop, slightly widened the borders and evened the skin tone. I also went with a Mid Century Gothic font that topps used on some cards. The '52 set used 11 different fonts! Crazy details.
