Baseball and Illustration

What illustrators can learn from the game of baseball.

I’m a Baltimore Orioles fan. Beyond the O’s, I love the game of baseball. As a fan of baseball, I can’t help but notice the parallels and lessons that directly apply to something else I love: illustration.

With outfield assists from fellow baseball fans Sarah Bunting, Tad Carpenter, John Hendrix, Kenard Pak, and Matt Tavares, we discuss the lessons artists can learn from our national pastime. So pull up your socks and chew on some gum—we’re talking baseball and illustration!
