Sig. Showcase: Danny McBride



Eastbound and Down is easily one of the funniest shows I've ever watched and that's in largest part due to Danny McBride.  He's just a naturally funny guy.  The show's writing and how Danny delivered the Kenny Powers character as a ridiculous man-child was masterful.  The character does and says some messed up things, but it's hard to dislike him being that he's the type of person that never had to deal with maturation and accountability due to his ability to throw a baseball "faster than f*ck". 

Not that long ago I had about ten or so signed cards that I had doubles of certified and encased by Beckett to be able to offer them to collectors.  The double of the card pictured by far and away garnered the most activity.  This one though stays in my personal collection forever.

La Flama Blanca


Ever since I made my White Sox Michael Jordan card in the style of the 1990 Fleer baseball set I've been eager to use the template again.  I almost used it for a Jim Belushi Cubs card from the 1990 movie Taking Care of Business, but that just wasn't doing it for me so I scrapped the card in mid design.

Then one day last week I got an inspiration to make a Kenny Powers Charros card using the '90 Fleer template.  Season 2 of Eastbound and Down was every bit as funny as the first season, and that first season was an absolute riot.  This is actually the third Kenny Powers card I've done.  I've still got to get around to posting the other two on here.

I'm not a huge fan of any Fleer baseball design outside of this year.  To me they're usually kind of boring designs.  The 1990 design is clean.  I like the white background with the color coordinating borders and the flowing nameplate.  I also like how the players break the top border.
