New guy here!

Welcome to the forum, Tim.

Your work is amazing! I especially like your Clemente and Hank Aaron. And as a guitarist, I really appreciate the Hendrix picture. I would have never thought of using guitar picks in that way.

It does my a lot of good to see a talented artist pursuing something they are so passionate about. Keep it up, and please let us know when you've completed new pieces.

Thanks, Bill! I had no intent of selling the Hendrix. After I made it, a local blues joint that had been open for a couple of months purchased my Elvis. He asked if he could also hang the Hendrix. I told him it wasn't for sale (everything on the walls of the blues club had a price attached and was for sale). He told me to price it where nobody would buy it. I did. Two days later, he called me to come pick up a check. I was stunned. Less than a month later, a person representing Paul Allen (co-founder of Microsoft) contacted me asking me about the Hendrix. Evidently, he's a big Hendrix guy. That was a pretty amazing email exchange.

Thank you! Depends on the medium....the cut card pieces take anywhere from 40 hours and up. The Jackie Robinson piece took me over 70 hours, but that piece was larger and had a ton of detail that I had to create without an exact photo reference. Most of the other mediums take less time -some as low as 10-15 hours.

Tim - now that's a way to make an entrance onto our (and your) forum!!!

Welcome aboard! Please don't cut up any of the cards I'm collecting. I assume it's mostly modern stuff you're slicing up!!

Do you need any '90s card donations???

Has anyone else been to the ESPN Zone in NY's Times Square?? There is a huge mural of Babe Ruth leading up the stairs made entirely of uncut baseball cards. Similar in style to your work Tim, but on a huge scale.

All the best!! And welcome aboard!!

Thanks! Almost 100% of the cards I use is from '87-'89. Occasionally, I use some '85 Topps, '90 Donruss, or some '91 junk commons (Score, Donruss, Fleer). And sure,there are times when I run out of certain sets that I need cards from - I'm not shy about putting out feelers for donations! I pick up the tab on shipping, of course. And, no, I haven't seen that Ruth...gonna have to do a Google search and see if I can find it!

Yes! Are you from the NEMS area? I was born in Tupelo, lived in Fulton pretty much my whole life, and taught in Tupelo once I finished my degree. My Elvis hangs in the Blue Canoe there. I moved to SC about 3 years ago.
