d’Ark Knight and d’Arnaud
spring…as in hope springs
eternally to hot summer nights
of euphoria and despair
For the uninitiated, Matt Harvey (The Dark Knight of Gotham aka Batman) and Travis d’Arnaud (who seems not to have acquired a nickname yet) are pitcher and catcher for the New York Mets.
Pitchers and Catchers! Can spring be far behind…?
This is where we left the Mets in October. We’ll see where 2016 takes us. “You can’t predict baseball,” as John Sterling, the Yankees broadcaster, is fond of saying.
Beautiful sketches! You should contact the Mets with your portfolio. At least let them see them and they can make up their own minds. Seriously. Very energetic and eye-catching. They should feature them in posters, signage, something. These deserve a much wider audience. (Not just being kind) 💙

I’m always excited when baseball season starts rolling back around, Kerfe! I hope your Mets really go all the way this year – I’ll be pulling for them again. Not sure about the O’s, we’ll have to see, but I always enjoy watching them play.

No doubt! I wish you’d draw Chris Davis. 😉 Seriously, there is so much movement and energy in your sketches, particularly your baseball stuff. It is amazing. I found this out when I once tried to do something similar. Yeah, yours are really great! 😀

These are amazing! (Even though the Mets beat out my Cubs in last year’s postseason, haha) I’m so excited for the beginning of baseball season. Winter is officially over! 😛
