barrybonds – Matthew Lee Rosen

Got tons of concepts in my head, but I can’t paint all of them… so, some become prints. Removed the stats from the back of Barry’s ‘87 Topps… foreshadowing his steroid-inflated numbers & exclusion from the HOF. Did the same for the other juicers. #1987 #topps #baseballcardart #barrybonds #markmcgwire #rogerclemens #rafaelpalmeiro #josecanseco #steroids https://www.instagram.com/p/B-FpO8Sny_Z/?igshid=zbknhm69yha8

The small Topps Traded sets only required one checklist (1T – 132T)… it makes a cool piece of pop art. #baseballcardart #MatthewLeeRosen #topps #toppstraded #1986 #pink #bubblegum #barrybonds #bobbybonilla #josecanseco https://www.instagram.com/p/B8zJTPdnbbL/?igshid=mwkacet7yehe

Since I’m not home, in the studio, making new art… I’ve been busy working on my website. For those who’ve inquired…my bobbleheads are now in the shop 😁 #baseballart #popart #bobblehead #erniebanks #mrcub #chicagocubs #barrybonds #sanfranciscogiants #peterose #cincinnatireds #yadiermolina #stlouiscardinals #matthewleerosen https://www.instagram.com/p/B8NuGYsnjWH/?igshid=1alrspirih3gi

Barry Bonds Gum Stick (1986 Topps Traded)

I’ve enjoyed making my gum stick concept, and the the paint looks real! Barry Bonds Gum Stick (1986 Topps Traded)

I’ve totally enjoyed making my gum stick concept, and the paint looks real! The monochrome black represents the player’s exclusion from the Hall of Fame, and the gum is the negative mark left on his career. #1986 #topps #barrybonds #bubblegum #baseballcardart by #MatthewLeeRosen https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OLx1lncS_/?igshid=ab7o5n87o0lq

New gum stick completed. Barry Bonds ‘86 @topps traded… all blacked out to symbolize his tainted career. #1986 #topps #pirates #barrybonds #baseballcard #pink #bubblegum #popart #baseballcardart by #baseballcardartist #MatthewLeeRosen https://www.instagram.com/p/B6MR5iLnl2Y/?igshid=6keraugx1874

I couldn’t destroy these perfectly mint & iconic cards in the name of art, so I designed a card display… featuring the graphics from the equally iconic 1986 @topps Traded Set mini-box. #topps #baseballcards #baseballcardart #baseballcardartist #baseballart #carddisplay #sportsart #popart #vintagebaseballcards #oldbaseballcards #baseball #1986 #vintage80s #toppstraded #josecanseco #barrybonds #willclark #bojackson #andresgalarraga https://www.instagram.com/p/B4DFiMKHY93/?igshid=18mwiqfmga4fg
