Tim,

Have any of the subjects seen your work? If so what was the reaction?

The power of art.

Scott, thanks so much for the words of encouragement! Several have seen it (Dawson and Vizquel even commissioned pieces after seeing other work), with the best reaction coming from Bo Jackson. I was told he took the time to go over the piece, naming players he saw throughout. He paused when he got to Kirby Puckett and said that Kirby was his friend....mumbled how he missed him. He didn't say anything directly about the art itself, but he didn't have to. It's those kind of reactions that make the difference - evoking some memories and emotion.


As for my latest piece, here you go, Joe.....the Black Swamp Find E98 Honus Wagner:

Very cool!

Thanks for the stories. Very cool to have gotten commissions that way. As for the Bo story, well I'll say it again, the power of art.

Wow Tim...

That ‘54 Ted could be your best work ever!
