AT THE REQUEST OF THE UNIVERSITY, THIS ARTWORK IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. [NOT FOR SALE] If I sell one they will fine me approximately $30k for use of their logo. Which is why the price is $30,030. It’s a $30,000 fine for me to sell another one. So that $30,000 for the University and $30 for me. HA!
Ironically enough, the Special Events Coordinator for WVU asked me to create a "Visual Biography®" of for thier school, for the 2010 Montaineer Week festivities. I did. Everyone loved it. The Assistant to the President even purchased one for the President's office. Then a couple months later their attorneys sent me a cease and desist letter, requesting $30k for 'use of the logo' and requiring a hefty percentage of the sales. Being a small time artist, I had to comply and stopped selling them immediately. If I sell another one, the fine and legal fees woudl amount to $30k. Which is why the price is $30k.
I drew this artwork to capture the entire Morgantown experience. I did a lot of research to make sure it was an in-depth, meaningful, nostalgic, and a personal experience for every WVU fan. Within this unique piece, you will find numerous buildings, dorms, restaurants, bars, and tons of sports history. I put countless hours of thought, research and investigation into the smaller-internal images within this collage, before I put the pen to the paper. I interviewed a diverse group of folks consisting of current students, recent alumni, older alumni, and die-hard sports fans so that everybody can relate. I hope you enjoy this collage as much as I do. Look close, do you see what I see?
