So for this week’s Wax Paper Pop Art I thought I’d provide a teaser for a set of stickers that I’m going to share on next week’s Peel Here column. 1989’s Baseballs’ Greatest Grossouts sticker cards were the follow-up set to Donruss/Leaf’s 1988 sticker set Awesome All*Stars…
The illustrations on these wax packs were done by (I’m 99% sure) B.K. Taylor, an artist I’m becoming increasingly familiar with due to my explorations into the Scholastic newsletters and their publications like Maniac, Dynamite and Hot Dog. Taylor did all sorts of artwork for Scholastic, from sticker sheets to comic strips, as well as illustrations for some of their books. I believe he also did the artwork for the Zero Heroes sticker cards (based on his art style and relationship with Donruss doing their Odd Rods stickers in the late 60s and 70s.)
So check back next week for some of Baseballs’ Greatest Grossouts…
