Custom baseball card artwork

[molenick]

I am a longtime collector who just started posting in the main forum (I should have started years ago, it's fun). My daughter is a recent art school graduate who has been amusing herself lately by drawing baseball cards using water-based paint markers (the results resemble paintings, but they are hand drawn). I have shown them to several people who suggested there might be some collector interest in these. For a price to be determined (we're talking hundreds, not thousands), she will create a personalized artwork based on the card of your choice. The images are generally postcard-sized on 11" X 14" art paper, but specifics can be discussed with her directly at lily.maslanka@gmail.com. Attached are some sample works and thank you for your consideration.

[Note: I know these are not actual cards but Leon has confirmed that this is the proper B/S/T forum because much of the work she has done is in this era (and 1950-1959, where I have also posted). Her technique works better on cards that are photo-based rather than painting-based. But, of course, the card you wanted would be up to you, the attached are just samples.]

Your daughter is very talented. Does she have a website with any of her other work?

Thank you for asking, this is a link to the baseball-related work on her site https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series. Just so you know, some of her other work is a little edgy and deals with sexuality and gender issues (you know how art students are). But, to be honest, I think she gets the most enjoyment from the baseball work. She is a baseball fan and enjoys the graphic design aspect of cards. Sometimes I use her as my "aesthetic consultant" when considering what cards to purchase, but that's for type cards only. For the sets I collect, I gotta catch 'em all (that's a Pokemon reference ).

Hopefully, two weeks is an acceptable period for a paternal bump. Thank you all for the nice comments and for the orders received so far.

From another art-student parent, I know what you're talking about, brother!

In light of the front page thread "Pimp my room... coolest baseball art available? Your ideas, plz" I thought this would be a good time to bump this listing. My daughter has already had some satisfied customers and has nearly finished the current orders. She can be reached at lily.maslanka@gmail.com and some examples of her work can be found at https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series (which includes some of her newer work as well).

It's been almost two months so I think it's okay to give this a bump. My daughter has caught up on her orders and is ready for anyone else who wants a a custom painting of their (or a friend's or relative's) favorite card. Here are a couple more she has done recently.

Outstanding!

Good Luck!

In light of the front page thread "Baseball as Fine Art" I thought this would be a good time to bump this. My daughter is still available to create a work of art based on the card of your choice (any card, any year, but most of her previous work has been in the 1950-1979 era). She can be reached at lily.maslanka@gmail.com and examples of her work can be found at https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series (below are some samples).
