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!  

The University has sent me a cease and desist letter requesting $30k annually 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 would amount to $30k.  Which is why the price is $30k. 

Before PSU sent me a cease and desist letter, I drew this artwork to capture the entire Happy Valley and State College experience. I did a lot of research to make sure it was an in-depth, meaningful, nostalgic, and a personal experience for every PSU fan. Within this unique piece, you will find numerous State College buildings, dorms, restaurants, bars, and tons of sports history. I couldn’t forget to add “the Creamery” and of course Joe Pa makes a few appearances; as well as hundreds of other State College references. 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 every State College fan can relate. I hope you enjoy this collage as much as I do. Look close, do you see what I see?
