It's too bad we won't have a spring training appearance this season on Johnny Carson by Mr. Baseball himself Bob Uecker. The world misses him.
King James. Not only the scoring record and an all-time great player...also builds schools, is a positive role model, does things the right way, builds the community up doesn't tear things down, loyal to his friends and takes care of his family...
Carl Yastrzemski. Yaz always makes a big group of people happy, but, honestly, I don't know how, who or why you wouldn't like him. One of the least divisive players ever, everyone knows he was great and an absolute icon.
Mickey Mantle 53 redux. Whenever I make one of these it is fun to look for particular things in a card's image, or the layout, or the style and use that as a focus to create something totally different.
Babe Ruth changed the fortunes of baseball and the Yankees as a result of being sold to finance No, No Nanette. When you think of the all-time worst transactions in sports history this has to be near the top
Mule Suttles. Hit three homers in one inning, hit a ball completely out of Tropicana Park in Cuba and into the Atlantic Ocean, and used a 50 ounce bat! Both a famously strong slugger in the batter's box, and also a highly respected baseball man and human being.
Pedro Martinez v. Don Zimmerman 2003 American League Playoffs. #Topps #BubbleGumPopArt #CardArt
For the last three weeks I have been reading everything I can find about Roy Lichtenstein and I have probably watched every documentary that exists on YouTube. I am in no way saying this is of his level, I am just saying this is my 2026 digital version of this STYLE of pop art.
If you look at the nonsense I create and you are a baseball card nerd, you can probably guess that the Laughlin Fleer cartoon cards are some of my favorites. I thought it would be funny to make a modern one...
I don't think this song is about a physical prison at all, it is about what it feels like to have anxiety/depression/mental illness. Watching the world do all the things that you know are supposed to be normal or fun and never really participating in them for whatever reason...
...stuck in Folsom Prison and time keeps dragging on. When I was a kid, it was just a cool song I heard on an old record I found. As an adult, it has an entirely different meaning to me.
Marlene Dietrich.
One of the most iconic movie moments ever. For some reason she always makes me think of Madonna - or, I guess technically Madonna makes me think of her.

Freddie Mercury | Icon.
So many hours of my life have been spent listening to Queen. It is so cool to me to think as human beings that we have the potential to bring such peace or joy to so many people even long after we are gone. #Queen #FreddieMercury #BubbleGumPopArt

Better look that one up. It wasn’t the same one, but it was called the World Series.
Old Hoss Radbourn.
Had the best season ever for a pitcher in 1884-won the pitching triple crown, pitched every inning of the World Series. The World Champion and the best player in baseball pitching 678 innings. #BubbleGumPopArt #OldHoss #BaseballCards
Recently, I found out that the video for Rapper’s Delight was actually footage taken from a syndicated music show in NJ called the Soap Factory Disco Show. I thought “How cool would it be to have the original ad?” It doesn’t exist, so I made it!!
Thank you so much!
Louis Santop.
I thought it would be fun to create something totally different of him. It is kind of crazy that everything you see of him is some form of that one famous picture. Sometimes art is about filling in the gaps in your own weird way.
Thank you, friend!
I'm glad baseball is back with Pitchers and Catchers reporting. It's too bad we won't have a spring training appearance on Johnny Carson by Mr. Baseball himself Bob Uecker. The world misses him. #topps #baseballcards #bubblegumpopart
Dock Ellis | Psychedelic Legend.
If the stories about Dock Ellis don't at least make you smile a little bit, all hope is lost.

Babe Ruth
It seems like I do a lot of stuff of Babe Ruth and players from a long time ago, and I guess I do. Sometimes it feels like we used to have fun with celebrity instead of it being actual worship and an ultimate goal in life. I miss that. #CardSky #BabeRuth
Andy Warhol.
There is something about fighting painful memories or realities with color and seemingly benign images that requires an unspoken strength. Almost like hiding your emotions in plain view, and having an inside joke with yourself that the world is never privy to. #CardArt #PopArt
Anne Hathaway.
She is so striking and beautiful. I was trying to think of someone who would look really cool with the registration being off, a white knockout of the silhouette. and then a hard pure black screen layer on top. #CardArt #BubbleGumPopArt #AnneHathaway
Chappell Roan
...because if anybody is cover art, she would have to be at the top of the list! I think she is awesome. She is brave and stands up for herself, and expresses herself exactly as she wants to, I admire that a lot. #ChappellRoan #CardArt #BubbleGumPopArt
Tom Brady.
After him being like Darth Vader for so many years, it has been wild to listen to him as a broadcaster and to see him interact with sports card collectors. He is basically just a sports nerd like the rest of us. #TomBrady
I meant about ushering sports into the televised mainstream. There are no iconic Jim Brown moments.No trophies, no overtime title games etc., no moment that says “Jim Brown”. Football’s popularity can literally count as it’s true birth the Colts winning the championship in overtime on TV.
