MoreMonty Sheldon is an artist who inked the Jabba the Hutt comics and pencilled the early Classic Star Wars.
As a youth in the early 1970s, Monty enjoyed drawing and creating stories told through pictures and words. His first passion was with the comic book medium, leading him to attend the Joe Kubert School of Cartoon and Graphic Art for two years and eventually working at Dark Horse Comics for nine years.
During the first 32 years of his life, Monty had three distinct and very separate passions: Art, Baseball, and Collectibles. Upon viewing another artist’s painted baseballs at a memorabilia show in November 1997, Monty had a genuine epiphany. He realized instantly that he could combine his three passions into one object, the Artball®. A typical Artball® features two panels of art, which includes the combination of close up portraiture and then a full-length painting of the player in action, along with two panels of text. The text portion includes a brief biography along with that players lifetime statistics. Every last bit of the baseball is painted, including the stitches.
