Sketchy.

LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr May 13 2010 12:59 PM

Mets fan/artist Joe Petrucchio creates a sketch book entry for every game this season... win or loss. It's like having our own Bill Gallo. But, y'know, good.

Edgy DC May 13 2010 01:01 PM Re: Sketchy.

Is that coloring with markers or watercolors? Have you invited him to join yet?

John Cougar Lunchbucket May 13 2010 01:07 PM Re: Sketchy.

No need to bust on Bill Gallo, the man fought in WWII for god sakes.

themetfairy May 13 2010 01:10 PM Re: Sketchy.

Very nice!

It'll be fun when the Mets win the World Series this year and I can buy a copy of his book to remember the great run.

Lotsa good stuff from Joe. Nice find, Leiter. seawolf17 wrote: It'll be fun when the Mets win the World Series this year and I can buy a copy of his book to remember the great run. I'd pay for that book even if the Mets don't win another game for the rest of the season.

PELF!! PITCHES 5 innings, 106 pitches, SHITS!

Welcome abordick. Thanks for the illustrations. If you don't have a publisher lined up, Crane Pool Press is interested, and I'm 69% serious.

I think the Willie Mays "catch" piece on your site may be the finest depiction of a baseball play I've seen in a long time. LOVE it. And welcome Abordick.

Benjamin Grimm May 14 2010 11:50 AM Re: Sketchy.

I suspect that having five penises is something of a talent.

Centerfield May 14 2010 11:52 AM Re: Sketchy.

Yeah, nice try "I know everything about the Mets I even created a website" guy. You don't get in either.

Frayed Knot May 14 2010 11:53 AM Re: Sketchy.

Guy with five penises walks into a doctor's office -- doc takes one look and says; "Five Penises!, how does your underwear fit?" Man answers; "Like a glove"

Benjamin Grimm May 14 2010 12:19 PM Re: Sketchy.

Now that we've welcomed him with an onslaught of penis comments, I hope we haven't seen the last of Joe the Artist.

[/trying desperately to sit at the cool kids table with Seo and CF] Pssh. The desperation helps, but you did get on. I've tried five times, and they wouldn't have me. Hell, Millionaire wouldn't have me. THAT's resourcelessness, Heather.

Rockin' Doc May 14 2010 07:25 PM Re: Sketchy.

I really like the sketches. They demonstrate great creativity and talent. I think a chronological series of sketches representing the season would make a great book any true fan. I envision a sketch for each game accompanied with a boxscore and a brief game summary. Welcome to the Crane Pool. I hope to discuss the Mets and baseball in general with you in the near future.

Swan Swan H May 14 2010 07:49 PM Re: Sketchy.

I just read Joe's bio. Some very impressive credentials. He's a Met-lovin big shot, all right. I love the Ali stuff, and the Lennon angel is awesome as well.

Kong76 May 14 2010 07:52 PM Re: Sketchy.

New to thread, welcome joepet. Very cool images, you're very metstalented. Frayed Knot wins with the glove comment, but jeez this thread got all over the underwear map quickly.

Zvon May 15 2010 09:32 AM Re: Sketchy.

Hey joepet, you are my new artistic idol! Love your stuff! The 1st link in this thread works but the other 2 are not working for me. Id like to see more. Welcome aboard, Zvon (in honor of the late great Warren Zevon)

Benjamin Grimm May 15 2010 10:45 AM Re: Sketchy.

Excellent stuff. In what medium did you do the Willie Mays and Ted Williams pictures? My guess is acrylics?

A Boy Named Seo May 15 2010 01:14 PM Re: Sketchy.

That's stunning, man. The Ali's you've done were some of my favs. Welcome aboard, dude.

Hey, Joe, about how much time do you spend on each one? What size are they in real life? Sorry if this is on the blog and I missed. It's Sunday Funday and I'm buzzin.

metirish May 17 2010 04:27 AM Re: Sketchy.

I wonder what Jerry's post-game chuckle sounds like from up there.

Benjamin Grimm May 17 2010 04:39 AM Re: Sketchy.

5x3? Really? They're just the size of a small index card? That's surprising!

Rockin' Doc May 17 2010 05:49 AM Re: Sketchy.

With all the text and detail I definitely was surprised they were done on a 5x7. I was thinking more standard letter sized 8x11 or so. They are awesome no matter what size you are doing them. I enjoy having you share your talent with us here at the the forum.

Friends, we are in the presence of Mets royalty. Our artist friend is too modest to tell us that he is the one who designed the 1980s racing stripes uniforms we know and love from the 1980s. The whole saga is revealed on today's Uniwatch blog! A must read!

G-Fafif May 20 2010 07:44 AM Re: Sketchy.

Great chronicling of a (thus far) not so great season AND he designed our last championship uniforms? If the guy can bat third, then we know he can do it all.

Benjamin Grimm May 20 2010 07:48 AM Re: Sketchy.

If he can bunt, then we know he can do it all! I'm learning this season that bunting is what it's all about!

Cheers, Joe. That was a great read and the original sketch is killer. Lookin' forward to the full-blown ESPN interview.

The interview is up on ESPN now. Great read... and some killer links, too. I love the Elvis stuff.
