I haven't always been the biggest sports fan but this has changed within the past few years. Just going out and cheering on my favorite teams brings joy to my life and I love every minute of it.  Of course, I like some sports and certain teams more than others.  I am a Pittsburgh native so I always make some noise for the Penguins and, this past summer the Pirates, to represent my city. I have, however, been a Chicago Bulls fan since I was around 4 or 5 so they always will have a special place in my heart.  For this project I decided to develop a series of trading cards for some of my favorite players from various sports teams. I took current photos of players and created a look that blends a vintage with a contemporary look, reminiscent of the early baseball cards of the 40s and 50s. I think this represents an aspect of my style while highlighting players who I think are some of the best in the game.
