Custom baseball card artwork

[molenick]

I am a longtime collector who just started posting in the main forum (I should have started years ago, it's fun). My daughter is a recent art school graduate who has been amusing herself lately by drawing baseball cards using water-based paint markers (the results resemble paintings, but they are hand drawn). I have shown them to several people who suggested there might be some collector interest in these. For a price to be determined (we're talking hundreds, not thousands), she will create a personalized artwork based on the card of your choice. The images are generally postcard-sized on 11" X 14" art paper, but specifics can be discussed with her directly at lily.maslanka@gmail.com. Attached is a sample and thank you for your consideration.

[Note: I know these are not actual cards but Leon has confirmed that this is the proper B/S/T forum because much of the work she has done is in this era (and 1960-1979, where I will also be posting). Her technique works better on cards that are photo-based rather than painting-based. But, of course, the card you wanted would be up to you, the attached is just a sample.]

Super cool. Great idea I'll bet she will sell a bunch.

Very talented. Good luck on her venture.

Hopefully, two weeks is an acceptable period for a paternal bump. Thank you all for the nice comments and for the orders received so far.

Apologies for not monitoring this listing more closely and replying sooner. Here is a link to the baseball-related work on her website https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series. Just so you know, some of the other work on the site is a little "edgier" and deals with sexuality and gender issues (you know how art students are!). But, to be honest, I think she gets the most enjoyment from the baseball work. She is a baseball fan and enjoys the graphic design aspect of cards. As I think I mentioned above, the image size of the finished work is roughly 4" by 6". Any larger and it becomes a little too abstract; any smaller and it doesn't work as well as a framed piece.

In light of the front page thread "Pimp my room... coolest baseball art available? Your ideas, plz" I thought this would be a good time to bump this listing. My daughter has already had some satisfied customers and has nearly finished the current orders. She can be reached at lily.maslanka@gmail.com and some examples of her work can be found at https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series (which includes some of her newer work as well).

It's been almost two months so I think it's okay to give this a bump. My daughter has caught up on her orders and is ready for anyone else who wants a a custom painting of their (or a friend's or relative's) favorite card. Here are a couple more she has done recently.

In light of the front page thread "Baseball as Fine Art" I thought this would be a good time to bump this. My daughter is still available to create a work of art based on the card of your choice (any card, any year, but most of her previous work has been in the 1950-1979 era). She can be reached at lily.maslanka@gmail.com and examples of her work can be found at https://www.lilymaslanka.com/paintings/baseball-series (below is a sample).
