gehrig sketch
I am ashamed to say that I got this one on ebay for $14.00, and a 1934 tattoo orbit dizzy dean (which is better in my opininon for $5)... this guy loves doing the stuff, and is clearly not in it for the money... in fact, I asked him (outside of ebay for a few special commissions, and he asked that I donate (what I think is fair) to his schools art program for supplies upon completion of the items...
Talk about a great artist, and a truly classy youngster... I wish there were more people like this in the world these days!

Just sent him an email. Curious to see how much he'll charge for the 2 I requested. He's REALLY good and I'd love to pick up a couple Roy Campanella's from him. Thanks for pointing this guy out to us!

RE: Good Cause
Scott is as good as they come... I bought the gehrig and dean on ebay & reached out to him to see if he would do the Walter Johnson & Cobb... When I asked him how much, he said that he would appreciate it if I would make a donation to the school where he teaches (Ivy Hawn Charter School of the Arts) which is located in Lake Helen Florida... The school is in its second year, and they are in need of funds to provide supplies for the students and teachers...
Real good thing that Scott is doing in providing for his students & giving us collectors something unique to enjoy...

I've been talking to Scott for a couple of days now. He's doing the '53 Topps and '54 Wilson Franks Roy Campanella cards for me. Apparantly this thread is generating a few customers for him. He said it would be a couple of weeks before he could get to them because there are quite a few people ahead of me. He seems like a real good guy. The world could use more teachers like him.

Absolutely amazing with the cuts framed! Love the look of them. Thank you very much for sharing Scott's information with everyone. I just received this in the mail the other day and can't stop looking at it. He is a true class act with amazing talent.

Love that Gehrig!
I just received this from Scott. My pic does it no justice, but its very large (around 15.5" H x 10.25" W). I love it! I will be looking for more stuff for him to color in the near future. Rob edited to add: plan on getting it framed!

Got word from Scott that my Campy's are done. I ran into some financial issues before I could send the check (I'm in the process of cleaning up that mess) but he sent me pictures of the finished products. They are AMAZING! I have a feeling that I'm going to go broke because of him. LOL

Love the pics. It took me a wile after looking at all the pic. that were posted and realized I had the same guy make 2 commitions for me about 5 months ago. It took him a wile to finish cause I had asked him towds the end of the school year but was very happy with the results. I didnt realize he was a teacher and am very happy to know he used his money for his students. Here is what he made for me. Guess I got my pic. before he became net 54 famous.
