This month’s Art Gallery display comes from the 2012
Topps Wacky Packages Old School 4 release. The artist is Mark Pingitore, a
freelance animator who has worked with Topps on the Garbage Pail Kids and Wacky
Packages lines. He is also a fellow Art Institute alumni so I gotta support the
guy there too.
Because Mark works almost exclusively with GPK and WP
his illustrations has that goofy humor. This card is entitled “Sweating
Bullets”, sadly even though the card is considered a one of a kind there are
other Pingatore WP sketch cards that are almost exactly the same with slight
differences, like one has the same image but sweating three bullets.
This was another opportunity purchase, I was looking for
Wacky Package Autographs and came across this sketch card for
just a few dollars, I believe $2.99, so I tossed in a bid and won. I picked up this card last year, and I like it but with my current goal of controlled discretionary spending I would not
have picked it up.
