     This section provides information about some of the artwork created for the United States Garbage Pail Kids All-New Series 6.  The information below describes the sketches and paintings that are shown above.
     Luis Diaz provided the artwork he had created for one of the All-New Series 6 characters.  The item number, card numbers, and final character names are listed below.
• Item 1:
Cards: 3a Me Too Lou and 3b Mirror Max.
 
Luis had painted a tiny picture hanging on the wall behind the mirror.  This picture was of the Series 9 character 355a Beasty Boyd / 355b Semi Colin.  Unfortunately, Topps cropped out that picture for the cards.
     Brent Engstrom provided the artwork he had created for the All-New Series 6 (see images above).  The item numbers, card numbers, character names, and artwork details are listed below.
• Item 2:
Cards: 2a Showerin' Howard and 2b Rinsin' Vincent.
 
Brent wrote "Shower Ted" on the artwork, but Topps ended up using different character names.  The rough sketch and color rough showed more of the person that was in the shower.  The second rough sketch and final painting are much more zoomed in on the shower head, which was the Garbage Pail Kids character.
• Item 3:
Cards: 5a Canned Carl and 5b Dogged Doug.
 
The rough sketch has the dog drawn in the background.  The rough sketch has the dog appearing very nauseous at the sight of the dog food.  The dog on the rough sketch was drawn much more like a cartoon compared to the final painting.  The final painting just shows the dog's mouth instead of the entire dog like in the rough sketch.
• Item 4:
Cards: 7a Hangin' Hayden and 7b Hung Hunter.
 
The rough sketch and color rough show the man's face, and there was blood on the Garbage Pail Kids character. The man's face was removed from the first painting.  Also, the first painting had the man's suit the same color as the Garbage Pail Kids character's suit, and the blood on the Garbage Pail Kids character was changed to cracks in his skin.  The final painting changed the color of the man's suit, so it was different than the color of the Garbage Pail Kids character's suit.
• Item 5:
Cards: 9a Carol-Sel and 9b Mary Go Round.
 
There were a couple attempts at painting the character.  The final painting corrected the character's facial expression and had cleaned up some of the background details.
• Item 6:
Cards: 13a Tara Too and 13b Naughty Natalie.
 
Brent created the rough sketch for this character, but John Cebollero was the artist that ended up creating the final painting.  The original concept had blood squirting out of the tattoo at the tattoo artist, but the blood was changed to puke in the final painting.
• Item 7:
Cards: 25a Socked Brock and 25b Refer-Reed.
 
There were a couple attempts at painting this character.  The final painting had the facial skin stretched a little better than what was done in the first painting.  The final painting also had additional details added to the person that was being hit.
• Item 8:
Cards: 37a Cat Sup and 37b Bottled Bailey.
 
The original rough sketch for the concept had the ketchup being added to a hot dog, but Topps had Brent change the hot dog to a hamburger.  The logo on the character was changed in the final painting.
     Dave Gross provided the sketches he created for the All-New Series 6 (see images above).  The item numbers, card numbers, final character names, suggested character names, and any additional notations are listed below.
