For the last 5 months I have been working on the Topps project and i'm happy to say... its just about completed.  Ive designed 30 baseball cards to be included as part of their 2009 "Updates and Hightlights" set, and made full sized screen-prints of 21 of the designs.  Topps will make the 21 prints available starting Monday morning.  I've added the prints to my website with a link to the Topps site where they can be purchased.  Each print is created in a limited edition of 200.  I've included alot of teams that I've never designed prints for so there is a good chance you will see something for your hometown team.

Up next, the baseball playoffs and another Topps project illustrating UFC fighters!  See below for a link to the Topps site:

I decided to use Twitter as a vehicle for quick updates about prints and general on-goings around the sports Propaganda studio.

I'm hoping to update it often.

I'm excited to announce an art opening featuring my work in Boston's south end. The show will be at Michelle Willey - an upscale home goods boutique store (www.michellewilley.com) from April 4th through May 24th. The opening will be on the 10th from 6pm until 8pm at the store, food & Drink with a baseball theme. This should be alot of fun and if you can make it out, I would absolutely love to see you there. The show will consist of a variety of work, showcasing a number of players and teams around the majors. The space itself is really cool, high ceilings, partially exposed brick walls and large windows create a great contrast with the baseball work. I really think it will bring a touch of class to my art. If you have questions - please let me know and I will get back to you asap.

I have completed some new baseball propaganda prints I wanted to let you know about.
First, The 2008 MVP Dustin Pedroia print. Many of you have been asking when this would be completed when it was not ready for Christmas. I do apologize for the wait, MLB moved a little slow approving this one. It is complete now though, limited edition of 250, with an MLB hologram, editioned, signed and dated by myself. As always, all of my prints are hand made on 100% cotton archival paper.

Some other new prints include Grady Sizemore and Evan Longoria - both a first for their teams. Also, the Phillies World Series print is now 90% sold out, if it is a print you've been thinking about, you may not want to wait too much longer.

Hello Everyone!

I'm happy to announce that I have two new prints completed and available. First, a brand new David Ortiz Print. This design is directly inspired by the classic Uncle Sam "I Want You!" propaganda poster. It is an edition of only 200. Also, in continuing to expand to other Major League teams, I have designed a new Cole Hamels print, the incredible young starter on the Phillies. This is an edition of 250. If you have friends or family who are Philadelphia fans, please feel free to pass this along to them.
All the prints can be seen and purchased at www. sportspropaganda. com

As always, all of the prints are hand screen-printed in a limited edition on archival paper, signed, dated and numbered with a MLB hologram in the corner. Use code 2727 to receive a 10% discount. Also, the purchase of three or more prints gets you free shipping.


I'll keep this short and sweet…I've attached a couple of photos of the new designs, one of which includes a goofy shot of yours truly holding up one of the prints. Enjoy. Id love to hear from anyone who has questions or comments.

Hope your all well!
Chris
