Dave is truly gifted. Me and my family walked in and were greeted like family. Being a huge Dodger fan I purchased a World Series Canvas and a Vin Scully one. Truly satisfied with my purchase. Cant wait to go back and add to my wall. Thank you Dave and keep up your amazing work!-Jesse Q.

I have had the pleasure of working with Dave for the past 6 years. His work is second to none. Dave is pleasure to work with. I have purchased 10 plus pieces for myself as well as numerous pieces for friends and family. If you love sports and are looking for a unique look in your home or office give Dave a look. You won’t be disappointed.

I ordered artwork from David at his store in Laguna Beach for $257.26. I swiped my card using his Apple Square and did not receive a printout or electronic receipt. I provided my address in San Jose and he was to ship three pieces of artwork. Months went by and I inquired. He apologized and said he signed the artwork and it would be shipped. This went on for couple of weeks and I saved the text messages from him stating he was going to ship them. When I finally asked for a refund he stopped communicating with me. I filed a claim to my credit card company and they said it was reversed because it was an in-store purchase and I needed an invoice to prove the artwork was going to be shipped, which Dave never provided. He has multiple complaints on Google and Yelp reviews for the same issue. People buy artwork when theyre on vacation and its too large to carry back with them so it gets shipped. I am an art collector and have never had this issue. Dave needs to be held accountable for conning multiple customers and also wasting my time having to go through various avenues to get my money back. Im a working professional taking care of my dad in memory care and do not appreciate spending time that I dont have, but its not right that he scams people and is not being held accountable. I will take him to court if this is not resolved, which involves more time and money, but he needs to be held responsible so he doesnt continue steeling thousands of dollars from customers. Criminals go to jail for theft, This situation is no different than steeling money from someone when you take their money and dont provide the goods.

Love the cool baseball art. Shipped and received the same week. Couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

Dave is an amazing artist and I’m proud to hang multiple pieces of his artwork on my walls

This place has the best selection of sports memorabilia and Dave was awesome

After searching and searching for the right Johnny Cash painting I kept finding the same images redone over and over. Before giving up completely I decided to talk with Dave about an original custom piece and boy am I glad I did. My Johnny Cash (as I call it) came out amazing!!! The detail is mind blowing and the originality of it is great. Dave delivered as promised. I couldnt be happier. I have recommended Dave to friends and will definitely order from him again. Thank you Dave

Dave has a talent that is second to none. Each time that I have gone to see him, he is always eager to hear about what is going on in your life. Business relationships and even personal ones don’t measure up to the loyalty that Dave has, not just to his clients but to the work he is committed to bringing to the world.

Wish I would have read these reviews before giving him $1,000. Its been 3-4 years since I paid Dave. I have each and every text message with the promise the painting would be done. Multiple times it was going to be done per Dave for my sons birthdays and now graduation has came and passed and I still have not received the painting. Now, Dave is not responding to my text messages. Dave comes off as a very nice respectable man, but a man is only as good as his word and Daves word means nothing. Disappointed!

We have purchased several prints of Daves amazing work. Everyone we have given them to cant believe the work that he puts in to create his masterpiece. His drawings look like photographs and he is so great to work with. We have recommended him to many people.

Wow! What can I say? Dave is amazing! My friend (and pretty discerning art critic) Rollie Fingers, was being honored for the 25th anniversary of his induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Dave really came through! The piece was PERFECT, and Rollie couldnt have been more pleased! You are simply incredible!!!

Just walking around Laguna and saw this Dodger shop. Found a great painting of Dadgers pitchers

Dave...I am extremely ECSTATIC with everything once again. I have had the pleasure of working directly with you on several projects and truly amazed each time. You continually pull of miracle after miracle for me. The talent level has speaks for itself, but the finished project always exceeds my expectations. Looking forward to continually filling up the walls in my office and home with more soon!!!Thanks again and keep up the good work!!~your lifetime customerJason Bada BingSo Cal

I have purchased many art pieces and ordered numerous commissions over the past eight years from Dave Hobrecht. His paintings are black and white, remind me often of classic photography, incredibly detailed, with a unique perspective. Mr Hobrecht does get behind in his work and sometimes you have to be persistent and follow up on orders, but he has always fulfilled his promises.

Incredible artist. Did some custom work for me which turned out perfect....just what I asked for. I ordered some surfing and USC pieces for my kids rooms and office and home which he mounted and stretched and turned out perfect. Everyone comments about how awesome they look.Dave did several custom pieces for my friends which blew them away. If you want great pieces mounted and stretched or some custom work ask Dave and he will hook you up.

Dave did a truly amazing job on a painting I asked him to create from a number of different photos for a good friends 50th birthday. I cant even begin to describe how well received the painting was and the incredible details that could be seen in the art work. Dave completed it on time and I would not hesitate to commission him for another piece. Thank you Dave for capturing the vision perfectly.

Dave is an amazing artist. His work speaks for itself. Definitely a great gift for a sports lover. He captures movement and passion and intensity in his work. Easy to work with. I will definitely be ordering more art from him.

Do not know where to begin My Son Loves Baseball ( he is 12 Years old ) and Loves the Angels we walked in to Dave’s shop and my son happen to run across a Mike Trout print he had to have it and said he would pay for it with his own Money well he went to Dave and asked price and he almost had enough to pay for it Dave gave him a break and gave it to my Son for the cash he had .so the next day we were at my sons baseball practice and he had to take the print to show his friends. There was a boy there with special needs and when he saw the print he was so excited it was Mike Trout and fell in love with the print my son told him he could have it! To my surprise my son gave up the print that he paid for. After Practice I asked my Son why did you give the print to the young man he said the guy who drew it ( Dave ) gave me a break on the price and he didn’t have to and the kid can’t play baseball and I can save and get another one. A Proud moment when my son gave up what he loved to make another happy THANK YOU DAVE you were part of that!!!!!One last thing I told Dave the story he offered to give us another print Bigger and better I thanked him and told him my son is saving for one he can buy with the money he earns around the house .

Dave is an amazing and talented artist. He is also a pleasure to do business with. Thank you Hobrecht Sports Art for making special gift buying so easy! Ill be back for more soon!

This guy is amazing! He created a custom original of my son in an action shot at the plate. He was professional and got me the piece when promised. I would not hesitete to recommend him to all my friends. I cant wait to order my next piece. I posted the Picture with the original photo below. Again, its more than I could have ever hoped for...THANKS DAVE!

Amazing artist. His work speaks for itself. Could not be happier with the purchases. I also had a few custom pieces made and they were absolutely beauftiful. The artist was wonderful to work with at the same time.

I bought a print of Gronkowski for Christmas this year for my husband. The store worked hard to make sure that it arrived in Boston before Christmas and called to make sure that it did. In addition to an amazing picture I received great customer service. My husband loved what felt like a one of a kind gift.

Want to know what this guy is really about? Head on over to the Better Business Bureau where businesses cant hide behind fake or purchased reviews and check out how many open complaints this guy has. UNREAL and theyre all for the same issue... DELIVERY. Though it would be more accurate to say Failure to Deliver And dont be fooled by these fake 5 star reviews that all came in at the same time. This guy is notorious for ripping people off. Dont believe me? The internet is littered with people who have been taken by this guy. Check out the BBB OR Scott and Aarons reviews below OR Brian, R.S, Jessica, Cindy, Jesse, & James over on Yelp the list goes on and on and on. He even ripped off one of my best friends who lives there in Laguna. Youve been warned!

Dave is an incredibly talented artist. I am blown away by his work and he is a nice guy on top of it.

Be careful. I had Dave make me a custom piece and it was nothing like he promised and the entire time he pressured me for money. He was way late in delivering and the image in the painting was extremely poor quality. He refuses to make me a new one or refund money. I never hung it up. Its been sitting in my garage. He didnt even make it the size we agreed upon. Do t give him any money up front. Youll be sorry!

This company is ran by con artists. I bought 4 painting and only 2 were delivered. I have test periodically for probably 7 months or so and never received my other 2 paintings. I went to Laguna Beach and they since moved so I cant even get my paintings. Do not ever deal with these people.

BUYER BEWARE- Save yourself a HUGE potential HEADACHE and read the NUMEROUS 1-STAR Yelp reviews BEFORE buying. It wont take long to start to notice a theme. Dave is a COMPULSIVE LIAR with a LENGTHY history of RIPPING OFF CUSTOMERS like myself whom are FOOLISH ENOUGH TO PREPAY then either never delivering or only delivering A YEAR LATER under the threat of legal action.IN RESPONSE TO DAVES BELOW REPLY which perfectly illustrates just how delusional and out of touch with reality he really is; Dave mentions I’m upset because he wouldn’t write a refund check for a custom print I had purchased that he had sent me which is accurate aside from the custom part which is a blatant LIE. So what’s the problem you might ask? Well, there is one small detail Dave CONVENIENTLY FAILED TO MENTION WHICH IS THE REASON I WAS SEEKING A REFUND IN THE FIRST PLACE. He forgot to mention 11 MONTHS ELAPSED FROM THE TIME I PAID FOR THE ITEM(July 2016) TO THE TIME HE FINALLY SHIPPED THE ITEM(June 2017). That’s right, it didnt take Dave 11 days, or even 11 weeks, but 11 months after I had PREPAID for the item to actually ship and even then it was only under threat of legal action. What occurred in between was months and months of him dodging my phone calls(I paid for my item on 7/21 and didn’t get a single response from Dave until 10/3) followed by excuse after excuse and apology after apology and promise after promise to refund my money or deliver my item. If you’re interested in all the detail, including screen captures of our text messages in support of all my claims, please see my Yelp review.As for his claims of the credit card company siding with him, this is yet another example of the delusional world Dave lives in. My credit card company didn’t side with him, as I outlined in my Yelp review they merely reached out to me requesting more information on account of Dave lying and claiming to have delivered the item(this was in October 2016 and he didn’t deliver the item until June 2017) I asked why he would make such a blatant & false claim to which he apologized of course and claimed it wasn’t him and one of his guys(He’s very good at pinning blame on his employees) must have done it in error and promised to resolve the issue immediately. At this point I hadn’t read any of the other reviews thus didn’t know who I was dealing with so gave him the benefit of the doubt and voluntarily dropped the claim. Don’t take my word for it, though, you can see for yourself in the text log between Dave and I posted to Yelp..While you’re on Yelp you may notice BY THE PLETHORA OF OTHER 1-STAR REVIEWS THAT my experience IS FAR FROM AN ISOLATED INCIDENT RATHER HE HAS DONE THIS EXACT SAME THING TO A LONG LIST OF CUSTOMERS whom have had virtually the EXACT SAME EXPERIENCE AS MYSELF. If you’re having trouble finding the numerous 1-star reviewers, that’s because by some miracle Dave all the sudden received a flood of 5-star reviews. For everyone’s general awareness, there are companies that specialize in what they call “Online Reputation or brand management”. Essentially what they do is charge companies with negative reviews a fee to write a bunch of fake 5-star reviews to push negative reviews way down the list and to fraudulently raise companies star ratings. Did Dave hire one of these companies to try to silence all the people he’s ripped off over the years? Only Dave can answer that but let’s examine the facts: In the last 2 years Dave had only 1 review on Google and that was a 1-star review claiming he’s a con-artist and ripped the person off. Then all the sudden, Dave miraculously has 10 5-star glowing reviews ALL POP UP ALL WITHIN THE LAST WEEK? Hmm, one has to wonder what are the chances? Even more suspicious, all 10 lack any other activity and have combined to review a grand total of, drum roll please… 1 business, which just so happens to be Dave’s. Objective, unsolicited, legitimate reviews? YOU BE THE JUDGE

I had ordered six pieces of art from Dave one week before Christmas he delivered in three days and were wrapped, took away a lot of worries!
