Something really endearing about those cartoon postcards. I'm of the impression that "Bill" is a baby sending messages to his Aunt Minnie via the pen of his cartoonist father. Is that reasonably what's going on? Great baseball content, wish I had some of the B'ham T210s to show. Any chance you'll post some more of these?

Monty Sheldon original Wagner Painting
|
:)
|
Great piece from Monty, Robert. I'm glad I got to see it in person last summer, as well as actually meet the artist. Aside from having some great pieces he was able to show off at the National, he proved to be just a really nice person.
Didn't you end up commissioning a ball form him as well? |
Speaking of Monty Sheldon, I believe he did some of the original artwork for
the Helmar Beer card set. The cards are then size and look of T205's Here's an original artwork that's almost 8 x 10" w/ the photo that the art was taken from and the finished product on the Helmar certificate. http://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/brewer.jpg http://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/brewerb.jpg http://www.qualitycards.com/pictures/brewerc.jpg |
I really like what Charles Mandel and the Helmar crew are doing. Best modern cards going in my opinion. I picked up this original watercolor at the last Chicago National. It was painted by Kalaish Raj and is about the same size, a tad smaller, than a T3. Snapped this photo of Monty Sheldon; seeing all his stuff at once was incredible.

I've enjoyed all the items posted!
I collect the comic art from Topps cards - I've been collecting it for some time.
However, I would rather post on this Mad comic art I picked up around a month back - one of them is from copy #207 from 1979: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...g?t=1262501802 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...g?t=1262501914 from the mag: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y20...g?t=1262501961 I liked Mad comic as a kid and I was very excited to have found a couple of items on ebay. |

Graig-
I commissioned Monty do this Victor Starffin ball for me in 2002. He is working on a Starffin card for me now. Hope to see you in Baltimore this year at the National. |
more on Sheldon
Robert... Thanks for posting the scans of some of Monty's work. He's completed around 500 of the Artballs so far. Fortunately I own a few..:)... Jay... While Monty has done work for Helmar Brewing, he did not do any of the art for Series 1 cards. Exposure to that set is what put Monty in touch with Charles Mandel. He has since completed more than 100 works for Helmar. This past fall, Monty was approached by Topps and was invited to work on their Chicle (Football) series, along with other artists. He is currently finishing up several pieces for a 2010 Topps baseball series, which should be on the market in a few months...

Birmingham Barons postcards
David:
your observation is right on, if I remember correctly.....I think there's even one that relates to "baby Bill" being born, although I only posted the cards which featured the better Barons-related drawings ( there are others with Barons references, plus some re: the life of "Bill" in general )...I'll dig thru the others and maybe even upload a few more images that contain baseball content.

Hey Robert,
I totally forgot about that Victor Starffin ball. If I remember correctly, you told me about it in Cleveland. He was your favorite player, right? I'm sure I'll be seeing you in Baltimore, though as of now, I doubt Dean and I will be exhibiting. I doubt I'm going to have the time to build up the inventory in time for the summer, as everything I'm doing now is commission-based. I'm hoping to have some time to paint some images for myself, but this year's looking pretty darn busy as it is (not that I'm complaining). Either way, I'll be there that weekend, and I'm sure I'll do my best to annoy you guys. :) |
This piece arrived yesterday...

Chris,
Great stuff. Welcome to Net54. I went to your site to peruse your art. Wow some really nice work. What is your medium? It looks like graphite pencil or similar. Best, Mark |
Chris -
Welcome and wow! Great stuff. Doug |
Awesome Chris! Very impressive!
|
Mark, for the most part its 5-6 different size Micron pens for each piece.
Scott, Doug & Mark thanks so much. Genuinely appreciate the comments. Kreindler, you want my lunch money too? Teasing. Nothing but love. Really excited to be apart of the Net54 community. Great group of people roaming around here. Until next time. |

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to share my Lou Gehrig sketch I received from Scott Silvers, the art teacher from Florida. Like others have said, Scott is a true class act and the pictures do not do the drawing justice. I am really looking forward to getting this in a better frame as soon as I can. Sorry for the poor images. They were taken from my cell phone unfortunately. http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/...2/a35f8918.jpg http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/...2/69024f0e.jpg http://i1244.photobucket.com/albums/...2/4ca9f8a2.jpg |

Hey Guys, just finished a new Feller piece and thought I'd share. First is the scan. 2nd is a framed shot. And the last is Bob enjoying his time outdoors for some new promotional shots we're doing for a new part of the web page coming soon. Again, thanks for the taking the time to look.

Lovely work, Chris. The three-dimensionality you've achieved on his nose and cheeks is pretty top notch. Keep it up!
Bob, I'm lovin' the study of Wagner's hands! Very well done - let's see some more! Graig |
A new direction for me. The uploaded image might be tough to make out, but still wanted to share with you guys. A slightly better scan can be seen on the site: www.541871.com. Appreciate you taking the time to look.

Some beautiful artwork guys! Especially like Chris's work and, well, then there's Graig's work which is from another world (I'm still saving my pennies in hopes of getting one of his beauties some day).

These days I mostly do natural science illustration but back in the days when magazines and newspapers used to commission original art I did a few sports pieces. Here's a couple for the New York Times. - Ed
