No Better View Than PNC Park

When I looked at the four weeks I have for vacation this year, I knew I wanted to spend a few days going to Pittsburgh to see the Pirates play when Cutch returns to the city where he spent 9 seasons to launch his career.

One of the best views in baseball, PNC Park has a beautiful backdrop for baseball.

I am officially on the six hour drive to the Steel City.

I realized I never got around to showing off all my sketch cards I own so I thought I should showcase this Brad Utterstrom 2016 Topps Museum Artist Proof 1 of 1 to show off the gorgeous city skyline.
When I was in discussion with Brad regarding this sketch he really wanted to do this image of Cutch instead of others I was showing him as reference.  I got to say, even without his face being shown or having a bat in his hand, this is a truly amazing piece of art.  It captures the feelings of a player on deck and looking at the city like "this is my town".

Thanks to Brad for the super awesome sketch.

If you would like to commission a piece of original artwork by Brad visit his website here.  If you set up a commission with him let him know that you saw the Cutch cityscape artist proof he did for me.

Thanks and Let's Go Bucs!!!

  2. Oh man... I'd love to get a sketch card done by him. But I've got too many cards on my eBay watch list to focus on that. Maybe one day. Hope you had fun at the games!
