Hello - I'm
JARED KELLEY, one of Topps' official MLB Living Set artists. Thank you for your interest in this
2023 TOPPS FINE ART PRINT featuring
RICK MONDAY on the
Chicago Cubs. This print is a RARE hand-embellished fine art print. In fact, this is the first series of prints I've ever altered! The American Flag was hand-painted by me directly onto the official Topps fine art print. I use artist-grade acrylic paints which have some UV protectants pre-mixed into the paint. This print has not been varnished, since that would risk warping the paper. It comes unframed. If you plan on displaying this print in direct or indirect sunlight, I highly suggest you invest in "museum glass", which eliminates nearly all reflections and blocks most UV rays from penetrating the artwork. I have personally signed & hand-numbered this print in BLUE FOIL. Unlike traditional inks and paints, the foil will NEVER FADE. It has a super short edition of only 10 signed prints.
This print is numbered 10/10. It ships unframed, atop a foam backer board for protection, and wrapped in a clear bag.
ATTENTION: Because this is a customized print, consisting of hand-painted embellishments, there may be some slight airbrush overspray and paint speckles visible within the portrait as well as possibly on the white border of the print. This is an aspect of painting on a print. Much care was placed in preventing the occurrence of overspray and speckles, but it's never 100% preventable. Therefore, this print, while numbered 10/10, truly is unique and distinct among the other embellished prints due to the slight imperfections from the painting process.
If you are not familiar with Topps' fine art prints, they measure 10x14 inches on artist-grade textured paper. The colors are extremely rich and vibrant and come very close to identically matching the original artwork used for the print. As the artist who created the original artwork, I am very pleased with the quality of these prints.
