Description
For your consideration I am offering a series of my hand- painted & illustrated caricatures of sports immortals. Each creation is unique as I airbrush and paint the subject direcrtly on authentic period letterhead of the team the player best represents. Such is the case of my creation of young Mickey Mantle wearing his home pinstripe flannel uniform on original New York Yankees team letterhead.
I personally framed & matted this artwork using finest archival materials completely acid-free. This particular caricature of "The Commerce Comet" took me roughly five days to complete using airbrush,oils and watercolor.
The frame measures 16 x 20 inches while the artwork is on 8 x 10 standard letterhead. I have provided photos of the various stages of this work of art.
Abstract
My sports artwork focus on my memories as a Major League Bat Boy with the Reds & Twins while rubbing elbows with the legands of the game of both leagues. With that being stated, I respectfully offer my artwork with an intense love for historical accuracy, while revealing the complex characters I encounterted with a nervous, self-doubting perfectionism. My artwork has appeared in national publications, and in particular Playboy Magazine ( Political satire) throughout the years which offered visibility. In conclusion I try to express my creations... which encompasses photography and sculpture,with a strong feeling for color and motion... but most importantly historical realism, skillful arrangement and when the brush is engaged... painting delicacy. I would be honored & humbled to find my creations to your favor.
