"Troy - 43" - print

  • $ 30.00

This print titled, “Forty-Three” was completed on January 21, 2011-just two days before our beloved football team clinched the regional title. I felt compelled to complete this piece prior to XLV as my collages have seemingly brought our hometown great luck in the past. The year I created the Pittsburgh Football collage, our fair city won that magical trophy and the year I drew the Pittsburgh Hockey collage, we won the cup. Like this fearless Troy, I had to get into “the zone” in order to draw this one. With over 65 hours of drawing time over a 3 month period, I researched everything I could get my hands on. I watched film highlights and read biographies until I truly felt a connection. Then my vision met the paper and the images started to appear. As you look into this piece you will see hundreds of personal images that respectfully represent Mr. Polamalu's faith, family, dedication, heritage, and how deeply he is admired by the great city of Pittsburgh. Look close, do you see what I see?

When I drew this I never imagined her would see it.  But one day he did!  He loved it!  He signed one for me and one for my Dad. (SEE PIC)  Troy is a great guy! He was very appreciative of the creativeness of the artwork.  

 

 

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:
