Wow, I didn't know that Topps supplied the artists "cadrdstock"! Good thing I didn't waste it on official GPK cardstock! Anywho, to each its own! Misspelling aside, my point was that out of all the characters you could have picked to put on that card, that is what you chose? It looks awesome but isn't popular. Mind boggling that you would do this and go ahead and painstakingly paint that Dead Ted on unofficial stock. Swap places and that card goes for 250+. Just saying, if you are trying to make money know what the collectors want. I understood your point. You made it clear by how you "gingerly" stated it . The great thing about being an artist is that I can create as many images as I want. I can illustrate many characters on official or unofficial stock. If it sells, great! If it doesn't, then I have something to frame or give away as a gift...No sweat off my back and no need for you to "boggle the mind" about it. It's not that deep! My point again is "Good thing I didn't waste it on official GPK cardstock! Anywho, to each its own!" (Just saying!) Ciao! Update - SOLD!!! (Revel Laughs!!!) Well it looks like it wasn't an "absolute waste of cardstock" and I do "know what the collectors want" (Just Saying!)

Thanks for the inquiry and comment. The Topps Company is one of my many art clients. As with most of my clientele, I try to provide the best quality product within the given specs. As a rule, most professional artists abide by this graph: *Good, Fast, Cheap: You Can Only Pick Two! It is ufortunately companies limit artists potential. I guess when you draw for the "man" you must abide by their rules if you want to make a living. I get it, just wished we could have a strong new set instead of these generic low grade so called GPK. With that said it looks like Topps only wants fast and cheap going by what we have been getting since BNS. I forgot to mention that each artist works at their own pace. Some can knock out illustrations quick without quality loss and others need ample amount of time to achieve a certain look. It also can boil down to personal tastes in art. (I know that many of you use John Pound as a measuring rod to rate GPK art .)

I'd like to share a photo of a recent GPK Soundwave commission. Painted in acrylics. Hope you like it! Also, I've been receiving inquiries for art commissions lately. Unfortunately, my schedule is pretty tied up to take on more commissions at this time. Hopefully things will open up after GPK-CON. Now you see here folks, here is a piece worthy of being on a mainline GPK series. Now why aren't there any of these high quality like pieces on the newer releases? This literally destroys everything since BNS 1. It is pretty obvious Topps is rushing the artists or under paying them. Seriously wtf? This is the kind of quality Topps should make the artist accomplish to make great sets. Layron, you got some serious explaining to do on wtf is going behind those closed Topps doors.

Hey GPKUG's Just want to share a couple of images I worked on for SuperToyCon. I was commissioned by the staff to illustrate and design an official t-shirt for the Con, that I'll be selling at the event. Here's a low-res pic of the design: I'm also the only vender that will be exclusively selling the SuperToyCon posters at the convention in Las Vegas, August 5th-7th. Here's a low-res screenshot of the design: Hope you like 'em!
