He is a trade artist and not well known to me. He was likely just hired by Topps as he is a portrait artist for the task.

He once asked me to take an unfinished painting of Mantle and DiMaggio to a card show in San Jose where they were appearing. They both signed without an issue. (The good ol' days.) He moved to New Hampshire many years ago and opened an art studio/gallery for his work and where he works with young artists to help them improve their talent. This is a link to his website. If you enjoy seeing some outstanding portraits/landscapes, etc, it's worth a look. (And no, I have no conflicts of interest in sharing this information.) https://pursleyart.com/ This second link will take you to his biography and includes a lot of the sports work he did. https://pursleyart.com/blogs/craig-p...e-as-an-artist Last edited by ocjack; 04-17-2024 at 06:28 PM. |

I recently came across a picture of me having one of Craig Pursley's Mantle/DiMaggio paintings signed. In retrospect, it's a wonder both signed graciously.

A little late, but just found my set of 11 Pursley prints. Signed by the artist, matched set of number 300 of 500. I bought them from the artist and they had already been matted, a copy of the baseball card added and shrinkwrapped. I wonder what else I have that I can't find.
