Long before Judges Wapner or Judy or even Aaron Judge, there was one of my All-Time favs, Frank Robinson. Read about the funny stuff from when he was the ruler of the Orioles clubhouse kangaroo court. Figured the back of a 72 In Action was a good starting point. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Shoeless Joe Jackson. '14 Cracker Jack reimagined. I read an article about Pete Rose & it made me think, they should just put both of them in. Include the controversy on their plaque if you feel it's necessary. They are a part of the game's history, like it or not. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky

Roberto Clemente. Not only a great baseball player, but a better human being. Clemente is more than a baseball legend, he is an icon in history. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Chuck Taylor, Boogie Down Productions - My Philosophy. Did you know that there really was a "Chuck Taylor" and that he is in the Basketball Hall Of Fame? Take a minute and read about him and how he helped popularize the game of basketball. #cardsky

Nolan Ryan, Frank Sinatra. Von Ryan's Express. A lot of people know his nickname is "The Express", but did you know where it came from? #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Josh Gibson, #nas "I know I can". One of the absolute faces of Mt. Rushmore in baseball. You can argue where, but he is there. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Charles Comiskey. This original set had really generic drawings of every player, I have been having fun redrawing them and trying to still stay in the simple spirit of the originals. I know it's weird to a lot of people, but I think it's neat. #cardsky @bobdavidssabr.bsky.social

Jennifer López. I don't mean it in a gross disrespectful way and not discounting her versatility and talent as a performer at all, but just...wow. I guess because I am not, it is amazing to me that people can be so beautiful. #cardsky

Leon Day. An absolutely amazing baseball player and person you should learn about if you don't already know about him. Thought it would be fun to create him standing in front of Ruppert Stadium in Newark and incorporate PlayBall set he should have been in. @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #cardsky

Johnny Unitas. Thought this would be fun to make, includes the Inner Harbor and Map of Baltimore circa 1950's, a take on the cool Colts logo and the "Man With The Golden Arm." #cardsky #Baltimore #nfl

Mickey Mantle, The Commerce Comet. Bill Haley and the Comets. I have been looking through trying to post art that is representative of a lot of the things I have made. There are hundreds, so sometimes it's like choosing your favorite child. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Beastie Boys. No Sleep Til Brooklyn. (and Dwight Gooden) I realize it's cheesy, but it was fun to make. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

When I was little there were 2 big Keith Haring prints in my brother's room & I thought they were so cool before I even knew what "pop art" was. My brother was an amazing artist & died of AIDS like Haring. I like to imagine the lack of bond we felt is posthumously fixed by art. #cardsky

Billy Ripken, 2 Live Crew - Banned In The U.S.A. Without a doubt the most famous and best error card of all time. #cardart @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Archibald 'Moonlight' Graham. Field Of Dreams. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social. Fun to make a T-206 of him in my weird way. Had the idea to use 12 of the different backs. Kind of neat, kind of weird. If you like what I do, you might like this...or you might hate it. Either way it's ok.

Buck Ewing. I redid the artwork from a couple of 1887 n284 Tobacco Cards to make them look a little more realistic, then combined them and turned them into this. I picked this one out to share, but I made it in a spectrum of color combinations (I'm weird). #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social #popart

GREASE, wax wrapper reimagined. I tried to keep the images of Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta generic but at the same time you know who it is, kind of like the old topps baseball wrappers. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Jackie Robinson. My knowingly reductive (I realize the criticisms) Basquiat/Jackie Robinson/Comic. Fully aware I am nowhere near as talented, but it just is fun to me. I have done a ton of reimagined cards in my version of the style of many of my favorite artists. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Jackie Robinson. Cab Calloway. Keith Haring. I love Keith Haring, and Cab Calloway and Jackie Robinson, so I guess when you put them all in the blender in between my ears, this is what you get. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

Beckett came home from school so excited today. They are studying Pop Art and Andy Warhol this week, she felt so special because she knows that's what I do and love (and talk to her about) Figured I would make something and it turned into this. Pretty cool , I think. (she loves it) #cardsky #popart

Leslie Nielsen, Lt. Frank Drebin, The Naked Gun. "Hey! It's Enrico Palozzo!". In 1955 Bowman they made Umpire Cards, so I thought it would be fun to make it on one of them. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

It sounds corny, but in the unhappy world I lived in as a kid, his voice and story telling would make me forget about everything and subconsciously dream of a world where it was happy, and I was in the stands watching the game with a friend. #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social

John Montgomery Ward. When this process first started for me it was the pipe dream that I would make pop art for everyone in the HOF, to give me a goal. Ward's one of the last. It's been quite an arc from suicidal to now. My hands still don't work but I've retaught myself how to create. #cardsky

Bo Jackson. So fun to watch. Hard to imagine anything in my lifetime will ever top Bo. The one person where you can just throw stats and stuff out the window and just say "I saw it". #cardsky @sabrbbcards.bsky.social
