Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

Les -

Not sure who the artist is (I can always look on the piece) but the is the Original Oil Painting that Matt Holliday's 2005 Diamond King Card was made from:



And me with Matt the day he signed the matte:



The Nick Swisher and a few others like this SOLD for over $1,500 each - unsigned!

Now these two aren't 'originals', but one is an Artist's Proof (10 made) and one is a Hobby Proof (500 made)... the Hobby Proof has a BV of $250... so what is the Artist's Proof worth???





All the best -

I should add that the Ryan pieces are signed by the Artist - C Paulsen - and they are the artwork used for the Nolan Ryan 1990 Bowman Art Insert.

I originally went to college for Art. It's Dale Earnhardt Jr. and I drew it like 6 years ago. Pencil drawing and then painted with oil pastels. Hope you like it.

I did that same style drawing for my art class, I had to do a superhero and my choices were limited. Can be seen in this picture.

1) Original painting of Mark McGwire from the 2001 Topps Gallery set, by Bill Purdom.

2) Original watercolor of Joe Jackson, purchased at auction about a dozen years ago. I want to say it's by Rick Rush, but do not remember for certain. Signature is hidden under the mat.

3) Original watercolor study of Mickey Mantle, painted by my wife. Signed by Mickey in 1991. Not only did he not hesitate to sign a piece of original art, but was very complementary. What a great guy.

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

Great topic. I just had to show you some paintings done by a friend of mine, Graig Kreindler. I have seen alot of original sports artwork but his talent is second to none. The following pictures really don't do him justice as you should see them in person as the details just pop out. Graig really does alot of research to get every little detail right. I know right now he is booked about two years out but I will be commissioning him to do a piece for me real soon.

The Christy Mathewson is my favorite and blows me away.

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

Here are two favorites of mine. The first(on the right) is by Lon Keller, and it's of Ollie Matson. Lon Keller was also famous for designing the NY Yankee's top hat logo.



Second up is a painting by an artist simply known as Craig. It's of Steve Largent, and was featured on the front cover of a 1982 Gaemday program.

Your friend has recaptured some great moments. Some real talent there. Have him send me some information at info@AllstarsArt.com

Re: OT: Show off your original sports artwork.

One of the things about posting art work is that a picture doesn't do it justice.

Here is a painting I commissioned of the Washington Nationals titled "Father's Day Walk Off" The artist is Opie Otterstad who does amazing vintage paintings and sports celebration pieces. It measures about 40x30 inches and the picture I took is not great.

That walk-off photo is pretty awesome. Do you have the guy's contact information? I would be interested in a much smaller piece.

Les - Funny coincidence. I forgot that Opie lives in Houston and has painted Jeff Bagwell many times.

Opie has been the official artist of the World Series celebrations for several years now too.
