I've been thinking that it would be pretty awesome to get one of my paintings or sketch cards signed by the subject. I would never send a painting through the mail, but sketch cards I don't mind. Pat Neshek is legendary for his role in the TTM hobby, so I decided to sit down and do two sketch cards to send to Mr. Neshek, hoping he'd sign one for me and keep one for himself. I sent both out earlier this week and hopefully will report back a success.
Here are the two cards I sent out. Not to toot my own horn, but these look a lot better in real life than in the scan. Not sure why they scanned so poorly. Anyhow, these were done pretty simply and quickly in pencil. I used the 1986 Topps design for one and the 1993 Upper Deck design for the other. I know that he is no longer with the Twins, but that's what I think of him as. Hope he doesn't mind.
freaking sweet!! betcha he signs both and sends them back... he is an awesome TTM as well as a great player. I also think of him in the Twins uni but that's a "17" thing for me, really love that first card.
ReplyDeleteThose are very impressive. I'm sure you'll get one back with an autograph.
ReplyDeleteHe is great. I hope we'll be seeing one of these back soon.
ReplyDeleteYou know I had the exact same idea. Not just doing a sketch and having them sign it, but literally the same idea with the same player. I'd like to get Neshek to sign one for me too. I thought about doing two of them; one for him to keep and one for him to sign for me. I didn't like the sketch I did though, so I shelved the idea for the time being. You sketches look nice though. Good luck on the TTM
