Bandits School of Baseball Uses My Images

Always interesting to see where my card images pop up. I discovered recently that the Queensland School of Baseball has been using a number of my images on their site.

All up they use five of my card images - four from my 2014-15 card design - Ryan Battaglia, Mitch Nilsson, Sam Holland and Maxx Tissenbaum, and one - Logan Wade from my 2012-13 card designs.

That now means that every single club except Melbourne have used at least one of my image so far. If only I was getting paid for them 😊

Perth Heat - Shave for Team Spencer - Use One of My Images

My team, the Perth Heat are in town for a series this weekend. I noticed at the game that I attended that many of the players are sporting rather luxurious beards. The answer as to why may be in a site I stumbled across earlier today.

It looks like several of the Perth players including Jesse Barron and Joey Wong will be raising money for Team Spencer by shaving their beards at next week's final home series. The website to donate money can be found at Shave For Team Spencer.

One of the images the site uses is my card design for the 2013-14 season for Jesse Barron. I'm more than happy for my stuff to be used in supporting Team Spencer :)

Canberra Cavalry Use One of My Card Photos

Spotted the following item on Facebook in a post by the Canberra Cavalry, advertising their Australian players for the season about to start.

Canberra Cavalry's Facebook page.

They obviously had issues getting photos of some of the players, as many of the photos aren't the best quality. I couldn't help but noticing that the photo of Aaron Thompson, who transferred to the Cavalry mid-season from Brisbane, just happens to be my card of him in Cavalry uniform from late last season, as shown below.

That means Adelaide, Perth and Canberra have all used my photos on Facebook, and NSW Baseball have had one on their site. I guess I'm just waiting on Melbourne and Brisbane to use one of my photos now :)

Happy New Year! - Brad Thomas' Big League Experience Camps Use My Card Design

Was flattered to learn that the Big League Experience Baseball Camps - being hosted by Aussie former MLB and current Sydney Blue Sox player Brad Thomas - are using one of my card designs for Thomas in their advertising and flyers on the Baseball NSW website. I can only assume that whoever designed the flyer must have seen my image on the web and thought that my card design was one of the commercial card designs for Thomas.

Oh, and a Happy New Year to everyone! Only a month of the regular ABL season left before the play-offs start.

Perth Heat Use One of My Card Designs On Facebook

Was happy to hear last week that one of my favourite players from my younger years - Graeme Lloyd - has been elected to Sport Australia's Hall of Fame. What was even better about the announcement was that the Perth Heat - whom Llloyd is currently the pitching coach for - chose to make the announcement on Facebook using my card design & photo of Lloyd from the 2011-12 ABL season. :)

Adelaide Bite Use One of My Photos :)

Jut so happened to see the following image on Facebook advertising 47 days to go til the Bite's opening home game of the 2013-14 season. Some of you may recognise this as my photo of Ji-Man Choi from last season that I used in a blog piece about the approachability of Adelaide players.

I also used it as my card design for him as well. It's nice to have one of the team's using a photo of mine, even if they have butchered using what looks like an Instagram filter ;)
