SportSketch365 #8 – Big Nose Weird Lefty Football Guy

Went with kind of a sepia look with this one…my daughter’s artistic feedback was “His nose looks big…and his left hand looks weird.”

SportSketch365 #3 – Hairtastic!

Okay, 16 ink cartridges later I’m done with Polamalu’s hair...Troy Polamalu is part Donna Summer, part Jr. Seau and part Fabio…fun  to draw, the commercials of Polamalu are pretty hilarious…he’s listed as 5’10″ but with hair, 6’9″…

Who’s Stronger? NFL Lineman Or Shawn Johnson?

Okay, I’m watching Oprah’s special today getting amazed all over again by the Olympics…especially the gymnasts (the fly through the air turns and flips and landings, whoa!) Then later I checked out the Monday Night football game…these football players look like big lumbering cardboard cereal boxes compared to the body strength and agility of these tiny little Nastia Liukins and Shawn Johnsons…who’s stronger? Even star running back Adrian Peterson looked slow and stiff compared to these girls…

Offensive Line – The Key To Football Greatness

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)…

Football Rarin’ and Ready To Rumble

The fields near my house are already teaming with soccer and football practices, tournaments and games…the Pop Warner games are already in high gear…College football action’s already been exciting…NFL ready to rumble…we’re fired up in my house (picking the Chargers to go all the way!)…lots of football illustrations to come (Illustrated Sports #46)…who are your picks?

Illustration Friday – Fierce

What is it about some coaches? The glare, the bark, the threat of lung-crushing wind-sprints? The high tube socks, the aviator reflector glasses? August football two-a-days are coming up…fierce coaches will be out in full force…Move those hooves! (Illustrated Sports #21)

Where’s Bill?

Has anyone seen this man?

The 250 lb. R-Burger

Looks like Big Ben (Ben Roethlisberger … is that really a name?!) and the Steelers are back from the motorcycle-accident-of-a-season that they had last year. I’m lovin’ it, this team can play and is fun to watch. Of course the big test is this weekend, the smokin’ hot Patriots! Found this illustration I did a couple years ago when Ben grew the beard for the Super Bowl (of which he was the youngest QB ever to win, not too shabby!) I threw in a Tom “The Patriot  Missile” Tom Brady just for kicks. Enjoy…
