Magic: Kobe One Away From Best Laker Ever

Posted on June 20, 2010 by goplanet

“The great thing about the Lakers is that we judge by championships,” said Magic, who — along with Kareem, Kobe and crucial role player Derek Fisher — has won a handful of rings with the Lakers. “So when Kobe gets that next one, then he’ll be The Man; he’ll be the greatest Laker. And I’ll have no problem giving him that.” (Click to read entire article)

This Was A Bucket List Trip!

Posted on October 30, 2008 by goplanet

Not only was it a total blast being at the Met’s last Saturday game at Shea Stadium (September 27th…I’m just getting to writing about it!) with my son and a couple of friends, walking the warning track for the national anthem, witnessing Johan Santana pitch a shut-out and enjoying the all-you-can-eat BBQ in the corporate tent…it was a complete sensory overload trip (as an artist) seeing over 1200 t-shirts with illustrations and designs that I created on my drawing table loving the game and cheering like maniacs…(check it out at the GK&R site)…BTW, the Pitch In For A Good Cause Foundation has sold thousands of these t-shirts and raised tens of thousands of $ for charities, very cool!

Mets Broadcasters Pitch In For A Good Cause

Posted on September 10, 2008 by goplanet

One of my favorite illustration and t-shirt design projects this year has been for the world class, celebrity Mets and SNY TV broadcast team of Gary Cohen, Keith Hernandez and Ron Darling (aka. Gary, Keith and Ron). Lynn Cohen, wife of Mets play-by-play broadcaster Gary Cohen and director of the Pitch In For A Good Cause Foundation contacted me late last year with some ideas she had for their new website GaryKeithandRon.com, to benefit several of the broadcaster’s favorite charities. It’s a fun, interactive and informative website helping some very meaningful causes. Check it out, buy a t-shirt (over 12 designs, thousand already sold!) and pitch in! Terrific work Gary, Keith, Ron and Lynn!

Here’s the t-shirt design for Gary’s signature saying “It’s Outta Here!” (click to enlarge)

Offensive Line – The Key To Football Greatness

Posted on September 6, 2008 by goplanet

How many offensive linemen can you name? It doesn’t matter if your team has the greatest QB ever, with a weak O-Line, he’s gonna look like a confused beginner. The offensive line is the key to making the QB great and the whole offense come together. I did this illustration inspired by Jeff Saturday, a three-time pro bowler and Peyton Manning’s security-blanket-center who damaged his MCL and probably won’t play this season. Good luck Peyton, and heal quick Saturday! As we kick-off the NFL season let’s have a cheer for the unsung heroes, all the O-Linemen (Browns’ Steinbach, Joe Thomas, Dallas’ Andre Groude, Patriot’s Matt Light, Charger’s Marcus McNeil, Nick Hardwick…etc.)! (Sports Illustration #47)

Here’s the ink sketch (click to enlarge)…

Play Strong At The US Open

Posted on August 29, 2008 by goplanet

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 Open was awesome…I got Rafa Nadal’s autograph, see insert photo for proof…you may also wonder if that’s Woody Harrellson, no that’s my brother Jason, an even more famous actor than Woody in his heyday (he’s a legend in Croatia) sporting his Rocket Man tee…
