I'm sure the ARod out of syringes is possible, but I just want him to go away.

Hi Hank.....that certainly can be possible. I'll be in touch soon to see if we can work something out.

you'll love it here sir

Thanks - I am already loving the reception and kindness I am seeing. The first, absolute first piece of art that I made like this was the T206 Wagner. I made it back in '09 for the 100th anniversary. I consider it very "rough" as compared to my most recent pieces like the Aaron, Musial, and Clemente. I feel like I have grown considerably as an artist, and I know I have much more growing to go. For some reason, I can't get the Wagner piece to load like the others. You can see it here:

Most of the pieces are in the 34" x 24" range. Some are slightly smaller. Some are a bit larger. For many of my earlier pieces, I even counted the exact amount of common cards it took to create each piece. I have gotten away from that, as I now work on several at once and keeping up with the numbers is virtually impossible.


Here are a few others I have made from the past couple of years:

George Brett from Pine Tar:



Reggie Jackson from Straws (The Straw that Stirred the Drink!):



Ozzie Smith from leather scraps:



Stan Musial from cut cards:



Roberto Clemente from cut cards (just finished this one a couple of days ago):



Jackie Robinson from cut cards:

It's possible that he'll be the only person EVER to be drafted Twice(each) in two major professional sports.. Although, to be honest, I'm not 100% sure that no one else has done that too. Mostly because I'm not that familiar with NBA and NHL draft histories..

I did not know the story of Bo being drafted by NYY! Learn something new everyday. My brother was drafted by the Yanks in 2000, but it was much farther down - and he never signed (it was during the days of the Draft and Follow). Thanks for sharing that about Bo.....

Thank you, sir. The Brett is currently the only piece I have ever had to destroy because it didn't hold up. I spent a couple of years planning it, hoping I could find a way in science to help preserve the pine tar. Unfortunately, it was too viscous, and within 2 weeks.....the thicker sections of tar had merged with the other areas. I used sample sections to try an acrylic seal, but the tar moved under it; I tried heat, but the tar thinned out faster instead of drying; after consulting with several "experts" on tar online - I gave up and decided to just stick with the photos I had taken.

Welcome Tim. Cool stuff. How large is your typical artwork? Just curious...it is difficult to tell from the pics.

Thanks! Most of the pieces are 34" x 24". Some are a bit larger, some are a couple of inches smaller.

Finally got to check out the site. Very cool stuff. It is impressive how far you have come since the Wagner. Your style reminds me a lot of
Elizabeth St. Hilaire Nelson. She does a lot of animal scenes.

That is a shame to hear! At least you were able to preserve it by photographs..either way extremely impressive work of art!
