Default A Tribute to Nolan Ryan
Nolan Ryan has been my favorite ball player since I was a kid. When I started making baseball card artwork about seven months ago, I had an idea: Make a Nolan Ryan mosaic entirely from Nolan Ryan baseball cards. After months of preparation and countless hours of cutting and placing pieces, it is finally complete! Now if I can just figure out how to get Nolan Ryan to sign it...

These days a Twitter post tagging him might take off and get his attention if you want it signed. Looks great either way.

Your best effort to date in my opinion. Has Scott Garner called yet?

Now you just need to cut up 1200 Ryan signatures for the auto!

Grade A. Even the details are great to look at-- almost as if you can see the 'brushstrokes.'

It's so nice as it is, I wouldn't even want Ryan to sign it.

I'm not into sports art, but that's one I'd put on my wall.

I appreciate the kind words. It looks like I won't be getting it signed anyway. The only way to do so is to mail it to his foundation and I just don't want to risk it. It will look nice on my wall once it get it framed!

Maybe you could just have him sign the outside of the glass for the frame.
