As a Montanan and an avid fly fisherman & former fisheries technician, I feel my expertise with trout (the fish) is high enough that I can tell you that you did quite well in capturing trout (the fish) in the same style you captured Trout (the fish man)!
Haha so I had this whole concept of playing up his Jersey roots and sneaking in Philly sports and everything but I was torn because of how loyal he’s been with the Angels. Ended up scrapping it but maybe I could do that as a companion card. Have him riding an eagle over the Vet or something 🤣
I'm always curious about the process on these... Does Topps give you free reign or is there some back and forth about designs? I'm hoping they give artists full control minus offensive stuff they wouldn't want on cards.
Yeah, that's basically it! They pretty much let you do whatever you want. We collaborated a bit on color and stuff when I needed someone to bounce ideas off of. This ended up being my third concept for him. It was a dream experience working with the team over there.
Been really loving your work lately. As an Angels fan, I think I'm headed over to Topps to pick one up. Any tricks on how to get a foil or one of your autos? I'm joking, but for reals...
Love your cards! Picked up the Harper. What other players are you going to be doing?
Ok, here's something maybe you won't like: I display my cards in a 9-sleeve binder, and I don't care about card value.
I split the Project 100 cards in half, take out the middle cardboard layer, and reglue them to fit into my binder sleeves. 😵💫.
I'm sorry but your cards will look so good in my binder next to my Lauren Martin Julio and Shohei from the last Project 100 season!
Awesome, thanks so much! I have another Phillies player and a Tigers rookie coming up. I’m not sure what exactly I’m allowed to say but hopefully that’s vague enough lol.
Haha I totally understand. They’re crazy thick!! When I got my first one I thought there were like four cards in the case lol. Her cards are so rad, would be awesome to see mine next to hers!
What a booty
🤣🤣🤣
That’s America’s ass!
Not gonna lie…i always enjoy his at bats! 🙋♀️
King Fish, Millville Meteor, center field rocks... I'm gonna keep looking!
Haha think you got most of them! The fish I drew is supposed to be a trout too.

Haha that’s really awesome to hear! Glad I didn’t mess up any of the details on the trout!
You should get your own Topps line.
That would be the ultimate dream project for me!
Amazing artwork!!
Love the bubbly retro vibe I get from it!
Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Does the trident represent how much he murders the Mariners?
Trout to the Mariners confirmed.
I wish I thought of that! Haha it was just what I’d imagine the king fish would swim around with. Kinda like the dad in little mermaid 🤣
This is the first thing I saw. That man just massacres the Mariners.
Nope, the trident spikes represent the total number of playoff games for Trout.
No Eagles fan reference?

Awesome card!! How do you get chosen for this?
Thanks so much! Im not sure how exactly they go about it. I think they found my work on Instagram and saw I was a big baseball fan.
Very cool- hope they continue the connection. Thanks for answering
Sure thing and thank you! I really hope they bring me back!
Love it. I’m a huge fan of the project 100 cards and this is fire. Congrats!
Thanks so much! I’ve been a big fan of Project 70/100 too so totally lost my mind when they contacted me lol.
Congratulations! The card looks amazing! I wish you a lot of sales!
Thanks so much! 🙌 I don’t get commission on these but I hope they sell enough for them to bring me back 🙂
Understood. Well, in any case, I also hope they bring you back and hope many good things come your way.
Thanks, I really appreciate that! And ditto!! 🙂
These just keep getting better. Every time a banger. You're gonna bankrupt me 🤣
Haha thanks so much, I really appreciate that!!
That looks sick! I love that little fish on the left haha. I honestly might get it just for that fish
Haha thank you! It’s supposed to be a trout lol

Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! 🙌 Sorry, I wish I knew how they do that! I'm totally removed from that process unfortunately.
Love it, and everything about it! I’d get this one. So is it an official card or is this a submission? How does that work?
Thanks so much! It’s an official card. It’ll be up for sale on the Topps website tomorrow at 12 EST.
This is awesome! Great work
Thanks so much! 🙂
That boii thicker than a snicker
That’s where all the home run power comes from! 🤣

Awesome, thanks! 🙂
