I had a jumbo-sized Bert Blyleven card laying around. So, how could I not make this? Look at him in that t-shirt… that’s a Hall of Fame stuff right there. #bertyleven #cleveland #clevelandindians #topps #toppsbaseballcards #1980 #80s #80svintage #80sfashion #1985 #photoframe #tshirt #funnytshirt #fart #farts #fartjokes #lovetofart https://www.instagram.com/p/ByAjzjaHpbc/?igshid=kl2z2igaw19t

Sad to hear about the passing of Bill Buckner at age 69. Played 22 seasons in the majors and had his best years with the Cubs. He’ll unfortunately be most remembered for his error in the 1986 World Series. I’ve used a few of his cards to make some artwork. Original artwork by #MatthewLeeRosen #toppsContinue reading

Dave Parker was friggin’ awesome. In 1976, the Pirates were on a losing streak, so Parker wore this t-shirt to the ballpark to get his teammates goin’. The photo of him is classic! Painted on an acrylic photo frame with his 1980 @topps Superstar 5×7 card. #daveparker #pittsburghpirates #pittsburgh #topps #toppsbaseballcards #1980 #80s #80svintage #80sfashionContinue reading

For painting number 29, I wanted to make another Bazooka Bubble, and who better to use than Javy Baez! Since I prefer vintage over today’s styles, I found some 2019 @topps Heritage cards that emulate the cartoon work of the Bazooka illustrators from 1970.

Flew home last night and completed the latest Bazooka… Diamond No. 28! This one features reprints of 1963 @topps Roberto Clemente and 1969 Nolan Ryan to highlight the backs of the cards that featured comic strips from the Bazooka Joe illustrators. Noticed a funny error on the back of Nolan’s card too…. “unleased” his fastball.Continue reading

Bazooka Bo came out pretty badass… like Bo himself. Made with 20 of his 1986 @topps traded rookie cards. Look at how thick his neck is! #1986 #1986topps #toppsbaseball #vintagebaseballcards #junkwax #80svintage #80s #topps #toppsbaseballcards #baseballcards #oldbaseballcards #bojackson #boknows #royals #kansascity #kansascityroyals https://www.instagram.com/p/BxU3D7KnZgB/?igshid=8wundbvnncx
