Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
There is actually a Sports Art museum in Alabama called The American Sport Art Museum and Archives (ASAMA).
Each year they recognize a top "Sports" artist. It is a great eclectic collection so there is something for everyone. Art is so subjective so like joelsabi who finds Peter Max cheesy; however, he likes Dick Perez or perhaps may like another photo realistic artist.

Also in this next Huggins and Scott auction they have several pages dedicated to sports art. I consigned 5 pieces of art to them since they were doing so much art. Probably some good bargains to be had!

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
Very well put when it comes to art. It is very subjective and not everyones taste runs in the same vein. I only have one piece, it was done by an artist out of Denver whos name is Rob Wood. I've always wanted a true piece of art and his was affordable enough so I could have one. His work is along the lines of Peter Max I believe. I would post a pic, but the last time I posted it on a board everyone told me they hated it. But that's ok, I like it. And last month I was able to get it signed by the athlete, so now I really love it.
A few weeks ago, SCD's website had art of some lady from Canada. It was amazing. I saved a pic, here is a copy of it. If I remember correctly this was done with pencil.

Re: OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations
Another amazinf artist is Stephen Holland- his work is a bit pricey but I think worth it if you have a sports memorabilia room to put one in.
I recommend looking up these pieces he did.
Alex Rodriguez
Babe Ruth
Albert Pujols
Lou Gherig
Nolan Ryan
Michael Jordan
Tiger Woods
Roger Clemens
Sandy Koufax
