Even when I'm sick I can't put them away.

Here are a couple of Mantles that I recently completed:

Thank you, Ben. I feel like I am achieving my goal of getting better as time goes on. I learn something new from each one that helps me with the next.

Man those are good.

The face on that 51B Mantle is especially impressive.

Nice work!

Cheers,

Richard.

Tim,

I regret more and more not commissioning a piece from you via The Bench early on before you were famous!! I think that Babe is my favorite so far, especially since I have yearned to own one since I was a kid.

Thank you Richard, Travis, and Kevin!

Thanks, Curt! I think the eye-opening part for me has been the amount of knowledge I have gained since I started. I am not talking art-wise, I'm talking about cards. I called myself a 25+ year collector. I started doing these pieces, made my way to this site, and realized just how little I knew. I'm still learning about sets I never knew existed that are popular with advanced collectors. Talking with these collectors and learning about these sets has been a real treat.

WOW!!! Really great work!

[curch]

That is totally crazy! What INCREDABLE work!

[TimCarrollArt]

A little bit of cleanup work and tiny touch ups, and this one will be ready to hang on the wall. Approximately 20"x 28". Cut junk era cards.

Darren Rovell called you one of the most talented sports artists just a bit ago on Twitter.

I'd expect to hear from people soon....he's a pretty powerful player on Twitter.

I had an idea for a future project. Maybe you could do a card and make it look like it was in a graded holder. Something iconic, like the PSA 8 Wagner comes to mind. Just a thought.

Tim, you must have the steadiest hands in your community.

Thanks, John! Not sure about steadiest hands, as the process usually goes: cut, glue, assess, cuss, tear something off, cut, glue......

Finished with this commissioned Cracker Jack Ty Cobb.....the background/border was made from cut 2004 Topps CJ's.

"Charles Conlon"; 40"x 30"; Cut early 90's Sporting News Conlon cards; SOLD.

How about a little love for the photographer himself? After using those Conlon cards for the Jackie Bond Bread piece, I knew I had to get this done.

Tim,

Have you reached out to players and shown them the art work you have done?

It's very impressive, and I would think they would believe the same.

Incredible work Tim! This is museum quality material.
