Finished Piece from over the Summer

I ended up losing a bet with fellow caricaturist Robert Bauer from Detroit for the Stanley Cup finals. Robert obviously is a Detroit Red Wings fan and I'm a Pittsburgh Penguins fan. Well they are fantastic and one of my clients. It works out well. :) So the Pens lost in game six and i had to pay up.



I ended up doing a 11x14 digital painting of the Captain Nick Lindstrom. Part of the bet was that you had to put Stanley Cup Champions just to rub the dirt in a bit deeper. He fortunately had a great face and I like the Red Wings uniform, but I didn't let Robert have a free ride. I had to put my feelings on the bottom partof the drawing. :)

Working on this for the banner for the Penguins Games this year.  The Pens are using the blue 1968 Throwback jerseys they made popular in the Winter Classic on New Years Day 2008 as a third jersey this year.  They are selling like crazy.  So I decided to use a photo from the WC and see what came of it.
