Cut junk era commons = most iconic cards ever

[baztacula]

What about building a GIGANTIC bicycle out of pieces of scrap metal and then putting your '52 Cut Junk Mantle in the spokes. Sorta like this...




That would make the ultimate display.

I'm thinking more like "Gem Mint 10", lol.

Maybe he and I can make something work for both of us.

Love it. True ART.

Hope everyone has been enjoying the holidays! Being a teacher, the 2 week break gives me a chance to spend some extended hours at the drafting table. Just finished this '53 Topps Jackie. I have some commission pieces that should be finished in the upcoming months (a couple of Walter Johnsons and a 54 Bowman Furillo, just to name a few). Have a Happy New Year!

[Iron Horse]

Amazing as usual Tim. Looking forward to seeing the ones mentioned.
Happy New Year

[TimCarrollArt]

I've finished a few over the last few months, but this is the first that is relevant to this thread. Happy to have finished my first Walter Johnson. 1908 Rose Postcard; Cut Baseball Cards; 18"x 30"; Private Collection.

Will be finishing more commissions in the next few weeks: another WaJo, a Craig Biggio, a Carl Furillo, and a 1953 Topps Mantle.

I already emailed Tim but he did a spectacular job on this one. I am still loving my 54 Dan Dee Mantle and eager to see the 54 Bowman Furillo that he is in the process of completing.

[Aquarian Sports Cards]

These really are spectacular. Do I even want to know the hours that go into one/what the current rate is to commission one?

[Joshwesley]

VERY interested in knowing what the price is to commission one of these pieces....

[TimCarrollArt]

Thank you all very much!

Hi Scott....the hours are long and the eyes get strained! I have to keep several different ones going at the same time so that I can walk away from one for a few days and come back to see what mistakes I have made or what can be done better. I have found that to be a big part of getting the likeness closer to the originals. If you decide you want to consider a commission, shoot me an email with what card(s) you are thinking about: timcarrollart@yahoo.com. Waist up, chest-up, and portraits work best (details get lost otherwise), and know that I'll only create a particular piece once.

Thanks again, everyone......

Amazing work on all those pieces, but to me the Biggio is incredible!!!

Donato

[Gpaal]

That's amazing

[TimCarrollArt]

1952 Topps Willie Mays. This was a commission and is unavailable.

[Kutcher55]

Amazing stuff! I see that 1990 donruss comes in handy.

[perezfan]

Especially love that 1971 Clemente. Beautiful work, Tim!
