Happy Birthday MJ 🎉

Topps Project 2020 was my first introduction to the concept of card art. Topps collaborated with 20 artists to create a series of 20 reimaged iconic baseball rookie cards in the eyes of each artist.

Ermsy was one of the artist in Project 2020. His unique and creative illustration style really caught my eye. He released a limited edition print /50 inspired by Michael Jordan’s 1986 Fleer rookie card. This is one of my favorite pieces by him.

Anyone else collected Topps Project 2020 or Project 70 card art?

Inspired by the Pokemon posts today. I wanted share one my of favorite Topps Project 2020 card. I commissioned Ermsy to hand embellish over his original Ichiro Suzuki card #22 with a Pokemon theme. Ermsy also had an Ichiro companion card where he added Pikachu to go along with the Pokemon theme. I uploaded an image of the original cards so you can see the before and after.
