Drawing Inspiration

I haven't been in the blogging mood much since New Year's Eve mostly because my grandfather on my mom's side of family had a stroke.  This came shortly after my mom had a stroke a few weeks ago.

I try not to get too personal on the blog, but please keep my family in your prayers.

I am going to show off a one of a kind sketch I received just before the holidays.
The original art has been in draft mode for awhile and I am trying to draw some inspiration for staying upbeat.

Brad Utterstrom who you may remember from drawing a pair of commissioned Topps Museum Masterpieces sketch cards here and here recently pulled a 1/1 of Andrew McCutchen and reached out to me.

He recorded the box opening on YouTube which you can view here.

A few days after reaching out, I had the oversized box topper original art in my possession.

It is pretty awesome in person.
I don't have any of the produced cards yet.
They'll be on my list one day, some day, just not today.

  4. That's absolutely terrible! You didn't specify, but hopefully neither stroke was too serious, and both will be able to recover with little to no lingering effects.

    1. No lingering effects for my mom. My grandfather is paralyzed on left side of body.
