original artwork, along with the original card

artwork is 14"x17", (20" x 30" framed ...triple matted, museum glass...photo coming!)

pen, pencil, and marker

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

this particular entry to this series is a little different! back in high school i was lucky to be part of a very good high school team...we made the state finals both my junior and senior year, winning the state championship my final season....i played second base, and our shortstop on that team went on to play college ball, then got drafted by the padres! he eventually had a cup of coffee in the bigs with cleveland before moving on to a very successful 8 year career in japan....greg larocca now spends his time as a batting instructor in new hampshire....and we're proud to say he's anona's batting coach! this one's for coach greg!

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

~~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)
