A few years ago, early in the pandemic, i finally dug into a project I’d been dreaming about literally for decades….I called it “A PACK OF CARDS”

the idea was to reimagine and kerriganize some of my most favorite baseball cards from my life long love of the hobby….and then the artwork is framed along with the original card

the 1977 topps carlton fisk struck me as an amazing work of art the first time i saw it, which would have been around 1978 or '79....not just a cool, perfectly framed action pose, but it was red sox/yankees....you can feel the crisp autumn saturday afternoon bronx air....i'd spend hours staring at and studying the image, trying to figure out the full story, what happened on the play....this card brought you there....it's an honor to bring this one to life

check out all the pics for some in progress shots of the creation of this piece

(as always, beautifully framed by bpaul studio )

~~the PACK OF CARDS series~~

growing up i was obsessed with baseball cards

i collected as many as i could get my hands on, and i studied them!

the artwork, the stats, everything, i couldn't get enough

literally every dime i made on my paper route went to cards

baseball cards taught me about math, statistics, economics, spelling,

geography, graphic design, on and on....

and they became an integral part of my love for the game

in this series, i will be revisiting and reimagining some of my favorite cards.

each piece of original art will be framed along with the original card,

double, sometimes triple matted, with museum glass

(there won't be any prints made, just the originals)
