Confession: I really like going to baseball games, but I don’t like baseball. I’m enthralled by the specifically American pageantry of the whole thing for a little while, and then I’m good for another year or so. With no particular love of the game, I’m always tempted to make one of these about Noam Chomsky’s sports quote, or my long standing personal contempt for that soon to be “pardoned”(?) degenerate from my old workplace, Pete Rose. But from the start, me doing 199c has always been about me “playing ball”. Whether that was pivoting to commercial art, staying in a bad relationship, toning down the content of my work, or in this case, simply enduring long after the novelty of “living my dream” has worn off. If we count my work output as art (which I usually don’t, but for the sake of argument…), I’m creeping up on 20 years of this, with no clear end in sight. The scary part? If I could go back and explain it all to that kid at the racetrack who had to deal with Pete Rose (who was a degenerate), I’m certain he’d still trade it all for this. What do you do?

“It's good to see the American dream is alive and well. Phil started at the bottom, shining shoes in an alley across the street from Riverfront Stadium, and sucking dick for nickels under the Roebling Bridge. But by keeping his nose to the grindstone (and with the slightest touch of networking) here he is today in charge of an MLB club. If it can happen to him, there's hope for all of us.” - boilface on Reddit

On June 11, 2024 Super fan 19 Year Old William Hendon was charged with 2 counts of criminal trespass after running onto the field during a Reds game. Heldon landed a backflip before being tased by Reds police shortly after. This piece documents the absurdity of that moment while paying homage to Johnny Bench.

Mr. Red Man

When I was a little leaguer, I always wanted to grow up to be a big leaguer, and to be a big leaguer you needed to chew a big "chaw". To be a Red Man you needed to be a Red Leg, so now the only Big League Chew I chew is purple and tastes like grapes.

Making a "Fake Watch" brand has it's ups and downs. What can be thought as gimmicky, or questionable in the community in which the medium exists often times feels like an up hill battle. When I began to make these watches it always felt like a concept, or art therapy to me. The outlet for general skills in craft, and creativity far outweigh the product itself... however it has felt more and more important to make some of the best quality work I can when pouring myself into a watch. This is easily one of my best. I’ve participated in this specific art-show for years, submitting at least 5 different pieces for the respective years. I was beyond happy to be asked to come back, and I could not wait to showcase this new practice in creativity. I love the Reds, and the city I’ve grown to call home… But I love art, and the transformative power it can have on the creator, and viewer far more than either of the aforementioned. The idea behind this watch is that if purchased the new owner can request any dial in the set to be installed for their new piece. This is somewhat of an interactive process that will actually complete the piece as a whole. Nothing feels better than making a watch for someone, and getting to be a part of this show feels even better.

Mixing curiosity and nostalgia is a big portion of my work. Because I've grown up a Reds fans and in the Cincinnati area, Opening Day has played an important role in kicking off the season. It also symbolizes the beginning of summer and for those of us that means brighter and better days are ahead. Let’s just hope the Reds do better this year.

I was a hockey player for a large portion of my life and honestly didn’t pay much attention to baseball. But I have always found it interesting how hitting a fastball is considered the hardest skill to learn in all of sports. As someone who was always working on their slapshot, I understand the extremely minute mechanics that going into perfecting an athletic movement. For this piece, I wanted to highlight these mechanics in relation to the Cincinnati Reds. I did not have to look much further than Ken Griffey Jr. (Cincinnati Reds 2000-2008) as an example of someone who has locked in the art of swinging a bat.

"That ball had a family!" - John Sadak To celebrate this iconic moment, I created a three-color, silkscreen, limited-edition print—only 25 signed pieces available. This isn’t just a tribute to a home run; it’s a snapshot of Reds history, commemorating the power, the call, and the undeniable magic of the game.
Jimmy Henderson
Mr. Redlegs
Gel Plate Print with Acrylic Paint
15.5in x 20in
Having long had a fascination with mascots across all sports, Jimmy Henderson explores the variations of iconic Cincinnati Reds mascot Mr. Redlegs along with the iterations of the Reds logo through the ages. Using digital collage methods along with familiar imagery and iconography, Jimmy explores a visual mashup that displays his love of baseball, mascots, and logos while bringing back memories of a trip he took with his dad to the city and the Great American Ball Park. This is then produced using the analog method of gel plate printing to create a one off print and housed in a hand-painted frame incorporating the bold colors that Reds fans all know and love. Street art, collage, gritty textures, and a minimal color palette inspire and form the foundation of the singularly produced piece.

This year is the year—so we say. Seasons of fleeting highs and inevitable lows wear on even the most faithful. How does one endure the slow burn of 162 games or even nine innings. As the seasons change but the team remains the same, we find ourselves again at another 7th-inning stretch in the middle of August, suffering through another game with the Marlboro Reds.

There Was a Game Today?
Acrylic, Watercolor, Pen, Marker
12in x 9.5in
I've always had a general disinterest in baseball. I've appreciated how excited the Tri-state gets for Reds Season but I never felt that emotion within myself. The biggest joy I get out of the Reds is seeing the Big Sign outside the stadium which has been a key sight on my bike rides and walks with my fiancée. I based my piece on this sign as it has allowed me to share in that communal enjoyment of the Reds with the blank-faced baseball representing my ambivalence in the sport in place of where the logo sits on the sign.

As a kid, summer vacation meant long trips to obscure towns for my brother’s baseball tournaments. I couldn’t tell you how the team played, or how well they ranked, but I remember the pride, investment, and occasional drama. Sports exist to serve a need for catharsis and identity that becomes really apparent when things bubble over, and hit outside the rules. I explore these concepts by presenting another cathartic memory in baseball history on material symbols of the sport as canvas. The story pans out for Reds fans like the hero in a comic strip, with details mattering less than a sense of pride that underscores the value of expressive relief and home-team identity.

This is a celebration of my collection of Cincinnati Reds memorabilia, each piece representing a lifetime of passion for the game. For me, a Reds hat is more than just a cap—it’s a symbol of where I come from and what I love. No matter where I travel, I wear my Reds hat as a badge of pride, a reminder of home, and a connection to the game that has shaped me. Baseball isn’t just a sport; it’s a tradition, a community, and a way of life. And for a true fan, the hat says it all.

A City of Forgotten Mascots
Dye Ink Print on Paper
11in x 14in
A City of Forgotten Mascots digs into the beer-soaked, marketing-fueled weirdness of Cincinnati’s past, where the Great Ameri-CAN mascots once reigned supreme. Born from the city’s brewery boom, these aluminum-skinned icons turned baseball games into a frothy fever dream. Bear-Can was a soft pitch to the kids, while Joe-6-Pack—the original mustachioed everyman—eventually morphed into Mr. Redlegs, the face of Reds fandom today. These characters weren’t just mascots; they were a reflection of Cincinnati’s blue-collar bravado, its brand-conscious swagger, and the fine line between sports tradition and corporate spectacle. What happens when a city’s most beloved figures are crushed, scrapped, and left to rust in the archives? This is a toast to the ones left behind.

Poison Socks
Acrylic on Paper

After doing some research on the Reds history I picked out a few stories I loved along with some personal things to base my pieces on. Poison socks, sheep cutting the grass, a player being ejected for napping during a game, the first team to fly, and a Cinci song from Babes in Toyland (the movie not the band).

Pete Rose was the definition of hustle—diving headfirst, outworking everyone, and leaving it all on the field. This piece, Charlie Hustle, is a tribute to that relentless energy and the mark he left on baseball, especially here in Cincinnati. Love him or hate him, there’s no denying he gave everything to the game. He belongs in the Hall of Fame, no question. This print is my way of honoring the player who embodied what it means to go all in.

Q: Who is the smartest pitcher you ever covered? A: Tom Seaver (Reds Pitcher), by a wide margin. He would break down each pitch he threw and why he threw it if you asked. He not only was a baseball genius, he could carry on an intelligent conversation about any subject.
