"Art Rooney" - print

  • $ 30.00

This print titled, “The Chief” was originally created in 2009 with approximately 50 hours of drawing time-over a 2 month period. I drew this special piece after seeing the exceptional one-man play, “The Chief” with my father.  The performance, history and persona portrayed in this play were so moving that I felt I had to look a little further and create a tribute.  In 2010 I was invited to the 38th annual Art Rooney Awards and Fundraiser to display my artwork. Mr. Hines Ward was receiving the award that night, and the promoters used my artwork on easels as the entrance display for the event. They displayed my Hines Ward piece and my Art Rooney piece at the entrance to the event. Both pieces were offered for the auction to benefit the evening. I am so proud to say that the actor Tom Atkins, the man that played the Chief in the one man play now on DVD was the high-bidder for the chief piece. It was an exciting and humbling experience to know that the man that played the Chief in the play for so many years will now have my artwork in his home to remind him of his own accomplishments.  Art Rooney Sr.'s accomplishments in the wonderful world of sports are forever unmatched, but it was his work and dedication outside the gridiron that compelled me to commemorate this great man. Look close, do you see what I see?

A video explanation of the "Visual Biography®" COMING SOON!

"Personalization" is when Chris HIDES/ADDS names, words, or phrases INSIDE of one of his existing artworks!  It looks like part of the original artwork!  ($20).  Up to 5-words.  People rave about "Personalization" at my art shows because it makes the artwork more of an original.  It literally ties a person, family, or organization INTO the artwork.  They become a part of the overall "Visual Biography®" of the subject.  Add your name, or all the family members names, or "Happy Birthday Susan!", or "Congrats Billy, love Mom!"....anything you need to make it special to you.

Matted artwork is ready to display, or gift!  If you CHECK "Add a Black Matte" (+$15) then your 8"x10" artwork will arrive already affixed to beautiful 11"x14" Black Matte.  Matted artwork also includes a sturdy backing board, all inside a crystal clear sleeve.  MATTED ARTWORK IS READY TO DISPLAY OR GIFT!  

 

If you choose NOT to "Add a Black Matte", your artwork will arrive as just a print (8"x10").  You will need to purchase and matte your own artwork. 

Buy with 100% confidence that your artwork will arrive in perfect condition!!! If ANYTHING happens during the shipping process (even if it's not my fault) I will replace your order 100% free. Rest assured that 99.99% of the artwork arrives unscathed, but if yours would get bent, damaged, etc. .....I will make a quick exchange free of charge. No questions asked!
UNMATTED ARTWORK: Is delivered in a sturdy cardboard mailer, stamped "Do Not Bend" many times.
MATTED ARTWORK: Is delivered in a high quality manila envelope, stamped "Do Not Bend" many times. 

You can download or print the accompanying materials for each "Visual Biography®".  There is at least 1 piece of information to accompany each artwork.  Sometime more.  You'll see I am pretty inconsistent with what I have across different artworks since my marketing strategies have developed and changed over the years.  But, at least you will have what I have!   Here are the links to the available downloads:
