Hand-made collectible art card
The 1989 Topps All-Star cards are among the more iconic design elements from the Junk Wax era. Print runs were beginning to dramatically increase in the mid-80's. Today, hobby and industry experts estimate that Topps printed 3,500,000+ sets in 1989.... compared to just 250,000-750,000 10 years earlier.
The repeated pattern, a common element in my artwork, is used to convey the massive overproduction of print runs in 1989. My initials on this piece are a facsimile signature applied in vinyl.

Designer gum sticks. Pop art that actually pops!
My G-Sticks are a series of bubble gum artwork, inspired by that one stick of gum that was stuck to the last card in the wax pack. Typically tilted by 9 degrees, as a nod to the starting 9 on the diamond.
Here's what you'll receive with this order
- My original ink illustration, directly onto a vintage piece of wax pack bubble gum.
- Each illustrated gum stick is backed by a custom-designed setting, and typically placed in the exact position in which the image would appear on the actual card.
- These art cards may be created using a heavy 75pt black stock, an original card, or just the clear case by itself.
- Cards are protected inside an Ultra Pro One Touch magnetic card holder... finished with my matching Rosen signature label.
- My G-Sticks made with black stock are signed on the back, and all cards will ship with bonus autographed items.
