OT - Sports Paintings & Illustrations

[b.heagy]

In the early 1970's, there were a series of prints distributed and done by a guy named David Boss. They were pretty cool items because they came already mounted on a antique looking frame and the process used to manufacture the prints made the pieces look like original artwork. Most of the major NFL teams were reproduced and now and again, they show-up on eBay anywhere from $25-$100 bucks.

Now, now gentlemen, an art critic, like myself, knows he is friendless. It is a thankless job, but necessary. Especially, in the world of sports.

I spoke with Hef just the other day and he and the girls, especially Kendra, love LeRoy's body of work. Pastels add just the kind of grittiness an artist needs for a good football image. I personally like the boxing pictures in pastels, they are so realistic, they almost scare me.

As far as the other comment I made, please excuse my insensitivity. Now if you can paint that what's-his-name Chicago White Sox pitcher in pastels, well, you may have something there.

I'm sure Dave at Mastroauctions would enjoy it very much.

Bill,

Nice pickup. I've never seen a Steelers print before. Very cool.
