Sketchy.

Guy with five penises walks into a doctor's office -- doc takes one look and says; "Five Penises!, how does your underwear fit?"
Man answers; "Like a glove"

[Benjamin Grimm]

Now that we've welcomed him with an onslaught of penis comments, I hope we haven't seen the last of Joe the Artist.

Let me get that finisher's medal before you write me off as being talented....

Pssh. The desperation helps, but you did get on.

I've tried five times, and they wouldn't have me. Hell, Millionaire wouldn't have me. THAT's resourcelessness, Heather.

I really like the sketches. They demonstrate great creativity and talent. I think a chronological series of sketches representing the season would make a great book any true fan. I envision a sketch for each game accompanied with a boxscore and a brief game summary.

Welcome to the Crane Pool. I hope to discuss the Mets and baseball in general with you in the near future.

More and more this is becoming a hostile posting environment for us normal people. We must redouble our dick-joke-making efforts! And then redouble those redoubled efforts!

That's four times the cock jokes!

I'm gonna need some help here gang.

[Guest Swan Swan H]

I just read Joe's bio. Some very impressive credentials. He's a Met-lovin big shot, all right.

I love the Ali stuff, and the Lennon angel is awesome as well.

[Guest Kong76]

New to thread, welcome joepet.

Very cool images, you're very metstalented.

Frayed Knot wins with the glove comment, but jeez this thread
got all over the underwear map quickly.

[Zvon]

Hey joepet, you are my new artistic idol!
Love your stuff!

The 1st link in this thread works but the other 2 are not working for me.
Id like to see more.

Welcome aboard,

[Benjamin Grimm]

Excellent stuff. In what medium did you do the Willie Mays and Ted Williams pictures? My guess is acrylics?

[A Boy Named Seo]

That's stunning, man. The Ali's you've done were some of my favs. Welcome aboard, dude.

"Stunning" is the first word that came to my mind, too.

Well, after "whoa."

[ashie62]

I must testify to your awesomeness! I really enjoyed looking at your work-Ashie

aw, crap...

[batmagadanleadoff]

The view from last place must be dark. And smelly.

[A Boy Named Seo]

Hey, Joe, about how much time do you spend on each one? What size are they in real life? Sorry if this is on the blog and I missed. It's Sunday Funday and I'm buzzin.

[metirish]

I wonder what Jerry's post-game chuckle sounds like from up there.

[Benjamin Grimm]

5x3? Really? They're just the size of a small index card? That's surprising!

[Guest Rockin' Doc]

With all the text and detail I definitely was surprised they were done on a 5x7. I was thinking more standard letter sized 8x11 or so.

They are awesome no matter what size you are doing them. I enjoy having you share your talent with us here at the the forum.

[Benjamin Grimm]

joepet wrote: Hope that's a good surprising. LOL

More of a neutral surprising.

Please feel free to join in some of the other threads too, Joe.

Season in your pocket!

[Guest metsguyinmichigan]

Friends, we are in the presence of Mets royalty. Our artist friend is too modest to tell us that he is the one who designed the 1980s racing stripes uniforms we know and love from the 1980s.

The whole saga is revealed on today's Uniwatch blog!

A must read!

[G-Fafif]

Great chronicling of a (thus far) not so great season AND he designed our last championship uniforms? If the guy can bat third, then we know he can do it all.

[Benjamin Grimm]

If he can bunt, then we know he can do it all! I'm learning this season that bunting is what it's all about!

I'm Jewish so I don't have my moleskine anymore.

Wait, what?

[A Boy Named Seo]

Cheers, Joe. That was a great read and the original sketch is killer. Lookin' forward to the full-blown ESPN interview.

[Fman99]

The interview is up on ESPN now. Great read... and some killer links, too. I love the Elvis stuff.
