artwork by stacey carter based on photos by mark weiss
These two paintings by Stacey Carter, “Summer In NYC” series, were based on two black and white snapshots I made in 1991 or so. The one on the left features my friend Ed Burns shirtless in the foreground. (It also features a guy named Gary Greene slightly out of view, to Ed’s left). These images were part of the baseball art show series at George Krevski Gallery in San Francisco.
I feel a little funny downloading this image and then importing it to my blog, except for the fact that the art is based on and derivative of my work.
Gary Greene and I are producing an artists panel at my Dartmouth reunion in June, which is what made me suddenly think of this.

speaking of baseball this is a weird place to shout out to Eric Hanson and his tribelines series (of poems about virtually every game the Indians play). For example:
Balls would fly out of the park
Fausto kept guys in the dark
Tribe continued winning ways
Royals remained in a daze
Choo and Sizemore, Sandy too
Even Carlos when ‘twas through
Joined the evening’s homerun hitters
Packed more punch than Philly’s Schmitters
Sweeping KC – it feels good
Leather, pitching, also wood
At top notch as Cleveland rolls
Making mockery of the polls.
Wah-hoo-wah, I say (or “yoo hoo” as Imperial Teen would say, which reminds me that I used a Mickey Mantle picture on the poster when they played the Cub)
