Love your artwork. Β Especially the paintings on jerseys! Β I've recently been doing art of basketball players and would love to show the athletes my work. Β How do you get the autographs? Β Do you do commissions for the actual athletes?

Hi Jen, thanks for the compliments. I get most of my art signed at local autograph signings. Best site to check out is signings hotline: www.signingshotline.com/fre/fr⦠...There's a way to search for athlete signings in your area, and by the sport as well. I've never been commissioned by an athlete directly, but I've worked with some sports memorabilia companies and stores who have commissioned me to paint for them, which sometimes includes getting the chance to meet the athlete themselves. I've heard stories of artists getting commissioned directly by athletes at autograph signings as well. If you have any other questions, I'd be happy to answer them...Good luck with everything!

I would have to go with Marty Brodeur. I used to go to Devils pracices and games a lot to watch him play and he's always fascinated me.
