1988 Topps Braden

Back for Series 2 of this year’s Bay Bridge Series Virtual Art Show! Follow @battleofthebayart to see awesome A’s and Giants themed baseball art created by 20 artists, going on now thru Sunday, August 22!

Inspired by illustrated sports cards and initiatives like Topps’ Project70, here’s my rendition of a Dallas Braden 1988 Topps baseball card. Mother’s Day 2010 = the 19th perfect game in MLB history in the most awesome tribute to his mother. What an unforgettable day.
