Description I figured it was about time I posted some art that didn't have a super Hero in it. I did a bunch of baseball sketch cards for Topps' Series one card set a while back, but I never got around to posting them. Technically this was my first work for Topps. It feels pretty cool to have played in the Major League Baseball sandbox.

Topps sent me photos to work from but they encouraged me to do the cards in my own style so I went with a caricature style. I think they turned out pretty well.

You may want to change Shane Victoria to Shane Victorino.

oops! too late. These bad boys have been in the hands of the public for quite a while. They got approved and are now in the hands of collectors. Maybe the misspelling will make them more valuable

Youk!

Did Topps specifically tell you who to draw, or were you given a choice?
