This print titled, “Eighty-Six” was created in 2011 to pay tribute to Mr. Hines Ward. Taking over 70 hours of drawing time and countless hours of research, this artwork captures all things Hines and proudly represents his accomplishments both on and off the field. This special image was created as a "visual-biography" of Mr. Ward, and tells the tale of his life from his birth in Korea to Atlanta where he attended Forest Park High School. The next stop for this great athlete included the University of Georgia and then on to our wonderful City.

Hines has broken many records and received numerous awards along the way and I was honored to learn about each and portray them inside this piece. In addition to his masterful and fearless moves on the playing field, Hines’ philanthropic works are generous and greatly displayed within the image. His mother is very dear to him and she is delicately represented many times within the collage, as well her name in her native language.  Numerous accolades about his life are proudly displayed within this piece which I offer as a tribute to an admired man and superior athlete. 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 manilla 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:
