Show your Baseball art...

[Scott Garner]

All of these pieces are original art that I own in my personal collection of guys that pitched at least two no-hitters in their career:

Nolan Ryan- Original watercolor by artist C Johnson. I don't know who Mr. Johnson is, but he has skill!

Bob Feller- This Week in Baseball newspaper cartoon by Hollreiser (circa 1970).

Bob Forsch- Original color pencil sketch by artist Amadee. This ran in a newspaper in St. Louis

Don Wilson- Charles Linnett circa 1973 original charcoal drawing and original photo that Linnett actually used.
From the Charles Linnett archive.

Johnny Vander Meer- Original 1940's artwork from News of the Reds artist
and original oil panting of net54's own Graig Kreindler (2012)

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

[ZenPop]

That main piece is one of the freaking greatest things I've seen.
ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!! Well done, sir.

Hey Scott!

That Ryan is great! Also really like those original Linnett drawings - picked up a few some years ago - the fine detail is really impressive.

Staying with your no hitter theme, I really like this original art I picked up of Koufax from the Upper Deck Masterpieces set. They had some incredibly talented artists commissioned for those sets.

MANTLE-BEFORE GRAIG WAS FAMOUS



THE BABE- bubble gum by Conlon



CAPT. LOU-by Conlon



THE BABE-by Paul Thompson




SOSNAK

PETE ROSE -hits record with Ty Cobb. One of nicest Sosnaks I have seen. The colors just pop and the content is pretty good too.



WILLARD MULLIN

ROGER MARIS-DONE ON 1961 DURING RACE.

I did the research below and matched to the numbers/info within the sketch and determined that this was drawn before the game Wednesday, July 28 1961 during Maris' historic run for publication on Thursday the 29th, 1961. I think this exemplifies how negative the media was with Maris(including Mullin) and the pressure Maris had endured. Little did Mullin know that Maris would break Ruth's record that year, become MVP of the league, evolve into a great defenseman, win the world series and re-write history.

Wow Ben, monster post!
You've really got a terrific collection of orginal art.

Ben,

Great stuff as usual. When does the museum open?

Scott/Paul, thank you for the pat on the back. Graig made my taste in art look better than it most likely is. All of these were commissioned off original type 1 photos.. The G-man made it happen and hit the G-spot dead center. I mean.. What? As far as the museum goes... How fricken fantastic would it be to go to an exhibit of all the highest end memorabilia? Marshall Fogel had his collection displayed in CO, I read, and they extended the stay because of the overwhelming demand. I wish I would have seen that and had such a collection. Perhaps if modern medicine allows me to extend my life by a couple hundred years, I might have a shot

Hey Scott!

Seeing that JVM drawing and knowing it found a great home always makes me smile!

I am going to have to go back and dig up my Linnett drawings - I can't remember who I have! Speaking of Linnett, I really like this picture I found on the 'interwebs' from his family's site. A great picture of the art in process!

Thanks Marty!

Wow, that Koufax original art is impressive- very realistic!

Thanks again for allowing me to add the Vander Meer original art piece to my collection.

BTW, I think that Charles Linnett's original charcoal drawings are terrific. I really am proud to own one of them in my personal collection. I wish I owned the original Nolan Ryan in this collection.

Here are two variations of Charles Linnett's Nolan Ryan charcoal drawing prints from the mid 1970's. The first is the standard Linnett Ryan print. The 2nd is a exceedingly rare Pro77 sock variation of this print. Pro77 socks were a product sold at JC Penny's department store in Southern California. This regional variation of this print is ridiculously difficult to find for a Nolan Ryan collector. Here is mine that Nolan signed and personalized to me back in the day.

Hello Marty:
This is a beautiful Koufax piece. Great likeness from a famous Koufax photo.
Phil

[laughlinfan]

Thanks, Phil! Love your Koufax pen and ink drawings, as well! Kind of sad that the heyday of those artists and those types of drawings is probably 50 years gone now. I think back then almost every major newspaper either had their own or ran syndicated artitsts. More victims of technology, I suppose.

Just discovering this thread, so I may be wrong but......no Lincecum?

[ooo-ribay]

Some great stuff here.

Leroy Neiman? Not so much, IMHO.

[r0ck8ott0m]

This is a piece I bought from TIM CARROLL who is well known for his work in the industry! He created this Jeter piece of cut of baseball cards! Love it

That piece is simply amazing, it is one of my favorite pieces from Tim.

[MrSeven]

That's really cool Ben.

It would be funny if the Jeter was made from common Red Sox cards.

Thank you again, Anthony. It was a pleasure working for you! And thank you, too, Ben, for the kind words.

Here's my most recent, made from A&G and Conlon commons. 15.5" x 28.75":

[yankeesjetsfan]

Wow! I love that Jeter piece! As a Jeter collector I am drooling on my keyboard.

Mike

[ooo-ribay]

Not exactly Kreindler quality. I was digging through a drawer and forgot I even had this thing. It was free, as I remember.
