Tim, your work is amazing, and even more spectacular in person. It was great to see you and some of your pieces at the National.

[Bicem]

Love that Cobb/Wagner!

[TimCarrollArt]

A couple more commissions down:

[CobbSpikedMe]

Very nice Tim. Love the Cobb and the portrait of Banks is outstanding. Always a pleasure to see your newest creations.

[Jay Wolt]

Tim as always fantastic work

[Peter_Spaeth]

Are you now using a different technique, particularly on the faces? I'm not seeing (I don't think) all the little faces that make up the face on some of your previous work including this Ruth.

[TimCarrollArt]

Thank you all!

Hi Peter...

Still using the same technique, but I think what you are seeing is that a couple of recent pieces were made using commons that featured larger faces (portraits). The whites of the eyes on those commons were larger than what I typically use, and it was somewhat distracting when they were put in place. I eliminated those distractions by cutting them or covering them with other pieces.

[TimCarrollArt]

Another pair of commissions down.....



1955 Topps Ted Williams:




1989 Donruss Ken Griffey Jr:

[TimCarrollArt]

H. moley!!!! You have achieved photo realism!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TimCarrollArt]

Been busy since my last post! Here are some of my recent completions:

1968 Topps Johnny Bench/Ron Tompkins:



1914/15 Cracker Jack Walter Johnson:



1952 Bowman Willie Mays:



2013 Allen & Ginter Framed Mini Autograph Pele:

[CobbSpikedMe]

Wow, Tim, that Pele is insane! How big is it? The individual letters cut out for the "Topps Certified Autograph" line are nuts.



.

[Dead-Ball-Hitter]

This does not seem possible, just incredible work! Congrats on your great skill. Love to know if any of these go to auction.

[horzverti]

Extraordinary work, Tim! I am looking forward to your next piece.

[GrewUpWithJunkWax]

Really enjoy seeing all of these - thanks

[Gorditadogg]

Incredible, Tim. As usual.

Thank you! The Pele measures 20" x 28". Those letters in the "Topps Certified Autograph" line are just 1/4" tall. Parts like that always test my patience!

[Yoda]

Tim, wonderful work. You nailed the CJ Jackson. Always been curious, do you use a laser to make such exacting and small cuts?

Thank you! I use 100% XActo knife and scissors.

I am even more impressed by reproducing the slight streakiness that a Sharpie signature can create. Unbelievable.

[TimCarrollArt]

My last few pieces:

E90-1 American Caramel Joe Jackson



Dick Butkus takes on the Packers



1933 Sport Kings Howie Morenz



and my latest....every Topps 5 cent baseball pack from 1952-1959 (these will hang in PSA's office in NYC):

[Jay Wolt]

Tim they are fantastic, the Topps packs are sweet

Thanks, guys! Those packs were super fun to work and see altogether. My wife saw the Jackson and said, “You’re not done, right? Why did you make his face like that?”😂

[TimCarrollArt]

[mantleman]

That 1956 Mantle is phenomenal!!! Great job all around !!

[CobbSpikedMe]

Tim,

Watching your work improve of the years has been very fun to watch. I mean, you were really good before, but your latest works have been noticeably more detailed and the finished products are just spectacular man.

Great work. Looking forward to seeing what's next!

Andy

[BillyCoxDodgers3B]

The disembodied eyes in Jackie's forehead are FREAKING ME OUT!!!

The face on Nolan's cheek: a pimple with a personality?

[TimCarrollArt]

Thank you all!

Andy, I really appreciate this kind of compliment. I find myself spending more and more time with the pieces and have fought off the urges to try to pump more pieces out within a calendar year.

The goal is to never stop learning about various sets/commons I can use, to never stop tinkering, to always get better. It feels great when that effort is noticed!

Thank you all again for taking the time to view my work and to all of you that have replied.

-Tim

[brianp-beme]

I would think it would be an honor for a player to have a piece of one of their cards utilized on the face of an all-time great that is depicted on one of these fantastic artworks.

Brian

[TimCarrollArt]

A few modern commissions to close out 2022. Plenty of vintage on the way to start 2023!

Just incredible stuff, as always Tim. Thanks for continuing to give us other artists something to aspire to!

Man, the detail in that Bo background...the fence. Speechless.

[Jay Wolt]

Tim love em, especially the BoJax
