Street Art


This one I named Street Art. a clarification: this is a parody chiefly of Shephard Fairey's "obey" poster, which I submitted in March 2012, before I ever saw the parody of Shephard Fairey's Obama Hope poster that Topps used for Brand New Series 2 and released as a preview after October 2012. The Obama Hope poster was/is so pervasive in contemporary culture that I don't claim that the Topps in-housers were inspired by this concept of mine.

Wild Style Kyle


This one I named Wild Style Kyle.

Pull-Up-A Cher




This one I named Pull-Up-A-Cher/Hannah Seat. I haven't decided on the background colors for the painting, this drawing here has yellow upper, blue lower background, but I'm not going to use that for other versions.

Home Boyd


This one I named Home Boyd/Capped-On Carlos/Gang-Bangin' Gilbert.

Lego Len


This one I named Lego Len or Lego Lenny. His boogers are a combination of lego and mucus. The line of mucus is made of mucus but attached to lego blocks at the end and mucus dripping out of his lego nose. I first submitted him in March 2012 using a different sketch and different layout.

Betty Blooper


This one I've named Betty Blooper and Detached Didi or Detached Debbie. A variant of this that I mentioned to Topps but didn't draw, she was throwing a shotput instead of a discus.
