Artie Wilson played five years for the Birmingham Black Barons where he twice led the Negro American League in batting and became a mentor and friend to a teenage teammate, Willie Mays.
A speedy left-handed hitter, Wilson epitomized the table-setting leadoff man. He hit so often to the opposite field that some teams played three infielders on the left side against him. He was also an accomplished base-stealer and a slick fielder, especially adept at turning the double play.
Artie Wilson / 11"x14" art print
This Artie Wilson piece was created entirely in Procreate on an iPad Pro. Procreate allows me to generate high-caliber artwork using a robust layering system, stunning filters, and thousands of importable brushes that mimic, and enhance, all the tools I would use on a traditional canvas. Your 11"x14" print will be signed and numbered by the artist. This Artie Wilson painting is limited to 100 prints.
