No spoilers. Just want to give everyone a heads up, in case they were concerned. I didn’t know what to expect going in and was really taken by surprise. You see, there were several scenes were I, a grown man, audibly cackled and/or snorted.
Be prepared. You have been warned.
WADDUP 12s
Might be the luckiest guy on earth typing this, but my THIRD print has been officially licensed by the NFL!
I am proud to introduce
---THE STRIP 60---
First, congratulations bird bros!!! This game was a good watch, but writing it cranked up the excitement as usual. SUCH a defensive smackdown. Is there a name for this defense like the LOB?
To create the work, I paused and played Steve Raible's broadcast ten seconds at a time while writing every word of his play descriptions in black ink on white paper. After scanning the original artwork (which comes in around 18,000 words) I upload it to photoshop and color each letter individually to achieve the desired effect.
The print is a Limited Edition of 125 and licensed through an amazing organization called the Deacon Jones Foundation. Elizabeth Jones, Deacon's widow, runs the Foundation with staunch commitment to their cause of aiding disadvantaged youth while funded by licensed, limited-edition runs of original NFL artwork.
As a working artist I have to express gratitude for such an insanely unique opportunity. The chance to license some weird art like this with a huge organization like the NFL is basically a pipe dream without an amazing group of people helping to make it happen. Huge thanks to the DJF, Fanatics, and the NFL. And my wife. And Witherspoon for doing such a pretty hit.
go eagles.
edit: if you can't read the fine print at the end, it says (the "Marilyn Monroe/THEY LIVE" artwork hanging behind my easel just won a blue ribbon at the San Diego County Fair).
I want to make a gift for my son’s birthday and am hoping to find 4 Threads, Lettermen, or similar patch/autos with the letters J, O, E, or Y.
There are plenty on eBay. However, this is not for a collection or resale, so I’m not interested in paying $20 for a Collin Delome or Greg Volez card. I’m hoping to keep this under $30 total for 4 cards.
Let me know if you have anything or any ideas on how I could find these types.
Shit’s bad.
