A few pics from the US Open…we proudly wore our global icon tennis caricature Play Strong® t-shirts…had a woman run up to us and stop us about the tees…”I love ‘em! Where can I get one!?” she screamed hysterically, well uh, she asked enthusiastically…of course I loaded her up with cards and info…that was fun…the US [...]

This one for Play Strong Sports…cool t-shirt for the swimming fanatic…I think probably Michael Phelps is inspiring new swimmers as well as the whole sport of swimming all over the world…this illustration was done with brush and ink (I love my Pentel Brush pen), type and color work in Photoshop…

When words and phrases like “beast” and “awesome” and “unbelievably incredible” just won’t do, we now have “Phelpsian”…try it in the next situation when something truly remarkable and awe-inspiring happens and see how good it feels and how all the people around you gasp at your mastery of hip expressiveness…go ahead, unleash your inner champion, [...]

Today fan favorite American and 28 year-old James Blake shocked the former world #1 Roger Federer by not only winning a set (which he’s only done once in eight previous meetings), but by dominating and demoralizing the Swiss’s usually flawless game, final score 6-4, 7-6…not even close buddy Tiger could help Fed this time…

The butterfly has got to be not only the toughest swimming stroke, but the coolest and most powerfully impressive to watch…certainly one that Michael Phelps has perfected…here’s a black and white illustrated version…

I’m a huge tennis fan, and a huge James Blake fan…seems he’s the only American man left in Olympic tennis with a shot to medal…exciting, but the Olympics and tennis don’t seem to be a compelling match-up…Russia’s Mikhail Youzhny said it best in an interview with the ITF: “In all other sports they have four [...]

Nine world records were set in Omaha about a month ago at the US Olympic Trials…Michael Phelps said, “Hopefully we can come back in a month and show that the U.S. is the best swimming team in the world.” I’m wondering if perhaps this might be the best team EVER…what do you think? This illo [...]
