Nice work, as always! Keep up the sharing of your images here.
These things are amazing...seeing the closeups (like all the faces in his neck and face) and then looking at those areas on the original photo is really cool...doing the signature must have been a bit tricky
Nice work!
WOW!
Sweet!
Incredible work!! What do you charge for commissioned jobs?
very cool. great talent
Thanks, everyone!
Signatures are always tedious....lots of XActo knife work. Ohtani's wasn't as difficult as someone like Mantle - mainly because Ohtani's sig is fresh to the hobby. We've had 60+ years to look at the 1952 Topps or 1954 Bowman Mantle....those signatures carry extra pressure to get them right because they are so recognizable.
I'll shoot you a message shortly with the commission information.
Thank you all again!

As I say every time a new piece of art is shared, this is an example of some of the neatest things about the hobby. Awesome talent, great piece, and thanks again for sharing with us.
Thank you all! Looks like I'm getting the time away to come to Cleveland, so I hope to meet many of you at the National. More pieces will be completed and shared before that time comes, however!
