"Boomstick" - Rosen Artist Series
Boomstick was inspired by vintage Bazooka packaging, a product of Topps Chewing Gum Incorporated. The comic illustrations from the gum also found their way to the back of the baseball cards, and the two products have always been closely associated.
Inspired by vintage Bazooka gum packaging. Baseball card artist Matthew Lee Rosen repurposes junk wax to celebrate the pop culture of America's pastime. The smell of chewing gum and card stock triggers fond memories for anyone who opened up wax packs as a kid in the 1980’s. His work aims to recapture that part of our childhood. We've partnered with him to design a series of bats that, hopefully, transport you back to the good 'ol eighties. Cheers!

WE ONLY USE HAND-SPLIT WOOD FOR EVERY ART BAT!
STANDARD GRADE MAPLE AND ASH: All of the wood for our art bats is selected from hand-split stock - the same way they did it in the old days. Why is this important? It's all about getting the straightest grain possible. Nowadays, many wood providers use large saw equipment to cut lumber, producing high yields but also cutting across the face or tangential grain. Hand-split, lumber naturally follows the tangential grain, strengthening the bat and lets the wood’s natural beauty shine through.
HAND-PAINTED QUALITY
Each art design goes through a process of hand-painting with stencils and spray paint, laser engraving or even select designs employ screen printing to get all of the details just right.
