"Sweetness"

Hi all,

I post my artwork on the boards from time and I thought I'd share this interesting commission that I just did. It's a 1976 Walter Payton (AKA "Sweetness") rookie card made from candy wrappers and candy boxes! This was much more challenging than the cut card artwork that I normally do. Definitely a funky piece!

For those that don't know, OREO is an ethnic slur, meaning black on the outside and white on the inside. It has been for years. Not sure if it's still used today.

Oh man, that certainly was not the intent here. I used the Oreo boxes because the colors matched and Oreos are sweet...

Great piece, but I have a question. Why aren't the borders pure white?

I wanted it to be obvious that it was made from candy packaging, so I mixed in some logos and such. I departed from the actual image of the card in multiple areas for this reason.
