STREET, CARDS AND DESIRE: BLAKE JAMIESON AND HIS JOURNEY TO TOPPS PROJECT 2020

BY RYAN CRACKNELL

GROWING UP IN THE 1980S AND COMING OF AGE IN THE ’90S, BLAKE JAMIESON WAS ALL ABOUT THE BASH BROTHERS — MARK MCGWIRE AND JOSE CANSECO. FROM MARIN COUNTY, JUST NORTH OF SAN FRANCISCO, HE WATCHED THEM LIVE AT THE OAKLAND COLISEUM WHEN HE WAS YOUNG. AT HOME, HE AND HIS FATHER AMASSED A COLLECTION OF AROUND 70,000 BASEBALL CARDS.

A lot has happened to Jamieson since then, something we all experience when youth gives way to adulthood. His journey has had plenty of stops but, in many ways, is coming full circle. Now an artist working out of New York, Jamieson’s work can be found in Topps Project 2020. In turn, it has helped bring him back to the hobby that was a major part of his earlier years.
