Hi All! I'm one of the new artist on MLB Wacky Packages. I worked on sketch cards and am awaiting word as to when I can post some. I've been a WP fan since the mid seventies where I would pick them up at our local corner grocery store in Brooklyn. I was very excited to be asked to work on the set and hope to do so again as I'd love to take a crack at some of the classics!

I have also worked on Star Wars, Mars Attacks and Garbage Pail Kids for Topps. More recently I did 8 paintings for Upper Deck's Firefly The Verse set. My work can be seen at the link below.

Hi All! Just wanted to share my Artist Returns from WP 50th. Also wanted to show one of a few pieces I submitted to Topps to try to land some base card work.

Especially like "Twin Freaks." This was the deciding factor in whether or not I purchased this set. The pendulum swung in favor.

The new GPK/WACKY 4th of July set is up at Topps. I painted this one (not my concept, though)

Zenergizer · « **Reply #29 on:** June 29, 2017, 10:41:04 AM »

beautifully done, Robert! I love how it came out!

It was my concept, and not sure how many will be in the set, but I think I have
another idea there, too, that is being painted by one of the greatest

zerostreet · « **Reply #30 on:** June 29, 2017, 10:47:22 AM »

Cool! Glad you like it! Not sure who you are?

Do we talk on facebook?

The gag is good and art, too. It should be OL', not 'OL, though...a minor oops. [The missing letter is at the end of the word, not the beginning]

Thanks! And actually, I just uploaded the correct version. That was something that was caught before finishing the art and the topps site has the correct image!
