Painted Gloves teams up with the Milwaukee Brewers Fantasy Camp

Pleased to announce that I'll be guest of the Brewers Fantasy Camp in January.

Helping to add to the fun on tap for the players, I'm creating special baseball glove paintings for the Fantasy Camp and more.

Custom baseball glove art being created for the camp includes this Bergino Mini-Glove adorned with the Brewers Fantasy Camp logo. Love that classic 'mb' glove logo!

Also on the glove is a glimpse of Beer Barrel Man, a Milwaukee baseball icon going back to the 1940s when the Brewers were a minor league club. 

And the logo word 'Milwaukee', as it appeared on their road jerseys back in the 1980s. All this on a glove that's only 6 inches tall meant to hold business cards.

While in Phoenix with the camp I'll be making an presentation about my work and will have glove paintings featuring players on display.

Glove art with player portraits commissioned by the Brewers will be unveiled at Camp in January.

Big league thanks to the Brewers Fantasy Camp team for inviting me to contribute to the camp experience. Follow Brewers Fantasy Camp on Facebook and Twitter.

If you'll be in Phoenix area January 21-24 and would like to see my work, please contact me.

And if you're interested in a custom mini-glove painting with your team or corporate logo, let's talk.

Glove Art for Richie Ashburn-Harry Kalas Foundation Dinner

The Richie Ashburn - Harry Kalas Foundation commissioned a custom painted glove as a fundraising item for their annual benefit dinner in Philadelphia last week (May 12, 2014).

A special vintage glove with a hand-painted rendition of the Foundation's handsome logo was created for the event, leaving plenty of space for player autographs.

Past and present Phillies signed the glove just before dinner was served, including Hall of Famer and Manager Ryne Sandberg and All-Star Ryan Howard (pictured above and below), Larry Bowa, Kyle Kendrick, Cody Asche, Gary 'The Sarge' Matthews, Ruben Amaro Sr., and Larry Anderson.

The 1940s Wilson glove became a one-of-a-kind keepsake for one lucky bidder during the evening's live auction.

Named after the Hall of Fame player and the Hall of Fame broadcaster, the Ashburn-Kalas Foundation provides free baseball camps for over 1,000 youths in the Philadelphia-area each summer.

A big thanks to the Ashburn-Kalas Foundation for asking me to create this custom artwork and for the opportunity to be a part of the event.

And this was an especially significant project for me. My first and favorite glove as a boy, the one that planted the seed for a love of classic gloves, was my dad's old childhood glove -- a Richie Asburn signature model. Incredible how life moments can come full circle sometimes.
