"Last week after Deshaun Watson and his team were defeated by the Ravens I wanted to highlight his wins off the field as he has been using his platform to speak out against injustices in America."

“I was inspired to create this because of recent events, witnessing millions of people all over the world demanding change. I believe that love is finally overpowering hate, and that change is becoming a reality instead of a dream.”

Watching their textures and beginning to blend with my own studio practices of reflection, brought this piece about - a glimpse into Scott’s power move!

“For my inspiration I drew a glorious run from the Seahawks’ last game against the 49ers.”

“A quick series of action packed plays between Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones showed me the keys to any victory. Focus, Confidence and Personality."

“A Hail Mary pass from an exciting young QB emerging as the future of the NFL. Snatched out of the air by maybe the best receiver in the game.”

“This play by Justin Herbert against the Jets was fire and is probably under the radar. Off the run he threw the ball like a dart directly at Keenan Allen’s chest, you have to be good to throw that hard WHILE running.”

“I wanted to capture this moment because it shows the complicated combination of traits required by the wide receiver. Some of these traits being control, strength and quickness. You can see it displayed in the anatomy of the character who is D.J. Moore. The elegance of a body catching a football is beautiful.”

"Watching, waiting, hoping at the edge of my chair with a palette in one hand and the paint brush in the other. Will he? Can he? Graduate from college? Become a successful adult, man, husband and father? Be as smooth, cool, calm and collected as Calvin Ridley making that catch? What a catch."

“The inspiration behind this piece is the determination of Teddy Bridgewater. Especially during these hard times, coming back from an injury and continuing to fight on is similar to the determination we need to pull through these rough times. I wanted to capture success and drama as well as the fighting spirit in this piece. He is a joy to watch.”

“As an artist, I enjoy reimagining things or events, it allows me to take my creativity beyond my comfort zone. This quarterback moment from the Los Angeles Chargers vs. Las Vegas Raiders game, with the outstanding action poses and the interaction between the players, gave me the idea of transforming it into comic-inspired illustration where players emulate superheroes.”

“This is an artwork depicting AJ Brown as a giant in the midst of opponents. Having gone through the video clips of AJ Brown’s matches so far, his fast and unstoppable abilities are constant from match to match. That’s why he is being beastly represented in the illustration and his opponents smaller. Making his opponent smaller in height is not done with a mindset of humiliating their strength but to project AJ’s uncompromising strength to maneuver his way out in every game. The painting style, especially the brushstrokes speak more of how rugged American football is. It is a game for the fittest and it is always rough. However, the artwork showcases the undefeated strength of AJ Brown himself.”

“This moment by Karl Joseph (42) and the Cleveland Browns stood out the most to me because it was the earliest momentum grab I’ve ever seen. It set the tone for the rest of the game. In turn, I made sure the illustration exudes that power as well. The thick black border around the player highlights him and the torn football pieces in the background aid in describing the magnitude of the moment. They are painted in team colors to show the effort of everyone behind it all.”

“I chose this moment in the game because it was a risky, bold move on the Buccaneers’ part, and a moment that distinctly placed them ahead of the game.”

“I chose to create a piece celebrating the Chiefs win and amazing team. Mahomes’ accuracy, Hill’s speed and Kelce’s ability to be wide open when it counts made them the obvious choice for this piece. It’s inspired by their game play, the tension of the two best quarterbacks in the NFL coming head to head at the Super Bowl and my LOVE for Street Fighter & Mortal Kombat game art.”
