| | Fastball! Here it is, my first commisioned piece. Had a guy ask me to carve him a Yankee baseball player. Not being a big sports fan it took some research and a semblence of a pattern. Found a cartoon I liked from the New Yorker, adjusted it, gave it a new head and here we go. I brought this to my office and already have an order for a Red Socks player.
