My birthday's coming up and a good friend of mine is an artist who does sports/fantasy/pinup artwork and he wanted to do a painting for me this year.

He's done covers for Beckett sports cards, various comic companies, sci-fi novels as well as some of the stars themselves(Herschel Walker, Kevin Harvick, Magic Johnson, etc.).

Anyway, here is the painting he did for me:

p.s. he does private commissions for those that might be interested. Just PM me and I'll pass on his contact info.

I know for a fact that he's done Shaq. I'm pretty sure his first Beckett cover was a Shaq but he's done subsequent one's as well. I don't have the scans on hand but I can try and post them later.

I thought about having him go all out and doing a Barnstormer, Admirals, Giants, pro-bowls, etc. but it was a lot better to go fewer and bigger with the poses.

Each pose represents a SB appearance BTW. 1999, 2001, 2008.

Panther, Barnstormer, and Cardinal. ;)

Yeah, I figured that. After this year it will be even. :D

I think we'd all know the 3 poses he'd choose for his Bill Gramatica picture, but I would still laugh if I saw it.

here's the one of Shaq that I was thinking of(note that it's from 1992 so it's no surprise that my memory was a bit hazy)

WOW! DEFINITELY Wall-Worthy...

1st off, HAPPY EARLY BIRTHDAY!! Birthdays are a refelective time. Hey, did ya' think you'd live long enough to see the Cards in the Super Bowl?? I wondered myself. Now, we just need to get back and WIN the darn thing. Anyways, your friend is very talented and now you have something to celebrate BOTH your B'Day and our Super Bowl appearance. Pretty Kool! Take Care! Mark :)

Thanks. And no, I didn't think I'd ever see the Rams or Cardinals ever in the Super Bowl so Warner has provided a wild ride.

My plan, with the Warner painting, is to finally make the trip to see a training camp and maybe get him to sign it for me.
