80s – Matthew Lee Rosen

@eephusmarked and I were coincidentally working on similar ‘86 Mets pieces this week… Mosaic on the front. Gum on the back. #1986 #80s #newyorkmets #topps #baseballcards #worldseries #bubblegum https://www.instagram.com/p/B_82ejTnVwe/?igshid=18ub9807j8wci

Schmidt (10), Maddux (19), Smith (13) & Sandberg (9) have combined for a lot of Gold Gloves (GG). That’s some fine Gucci leather! #80s #topps #baseballcardart #pink #bubblegum #goldglove #gucci #leather https://www.instagram.com/p/B-2D_pbHpU6/?igshid=panqfx3yde2a

Knuckleballer Charlie Hough pitched 25 seasons in the bigs. TWENTY-FIVE! You know what his career record was? 216 Wins 216 Losses That’s tough luck Charlie. #baseballcards #baseballcardart #topps #charliebrown #pink #gum #bubblegum #80s https://www.instagram.com/p/B-wuzbdndmT/?igshid=bhl7m45ybr1l

The trivia questions on the back of ‘85 Topps always make me feel 8-years-old again. Who was the last pitcher to win 30 games in one year? #80s #1985 #topps #baseballcards #baseballcardart #pink #bubblegum #trivia https://www.instagram.com/p/B-U0X0GnqQF/?igshid=1x5g6cxci6wrp

I’m at home… making art. A few days ago I painted a Dwight Gooden gum stick. Yesterday, I painted his nephew… Gary Sheffield. #baseballcardart #baseballcards #80s #milwaukeebrewers #garysheffield #topps #futurestar #pink #bubblegum https://www.instagram.com/p/B92OHOXne2j/?igshid=v42wjma2hqrg

Making my artwork can sometimes be therapeutic. Fitting that I chose to make this piece yesterday… the worst day since the market crash of ‘87. It was the spring of ’87, when Doc failed a drug test, beginning his own crash. #baseballcardart #baseballcards #80s #newyorkmets #dwightgooden #topps #recordbreaker #pink #bubblegum https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ronGYH5ZR/?igshid=xty0c95o5vpw
