Speaking of art

October 1, 2008

The Sport Artwork Forum ran this interview with baseball artist Dick Perez, whose style would be instantly recognizable to a certain segment of baseball card (“art to go”?) collectors.

The forum ran a similar Q&A with John Hanley.

Several years ago, when I was researching the Montreal Expos, I spoke with Andres Gallaraga. It was one of my first athlete interviews and I think we were both a bit uncomfortable. But I had heard somewhere that he was an artist and asked him a few questions about that. That seemed to relax him a bit. I didn’t use any of that stuff for my project, but I learned a bit about getting people to open up by talking about things they like.

Other sports art sites you might find interesting (not solely about baseball, though):

American Sport Art Museum

The National Art Museum of Sport
