Green Bay Packers Artwork

Hi All,

Alright - I'm excited.  The Packers are one game away from the Super Bowl.  They play Seattle this weekend.  It's going to be a tough game and a lot of fun.

The Packers are my favorite team.  I'm from that area originally and have followed them since I can remember.  Throughout the years I've enjoyed drawing my favorite Packers.  With the playoffs coming toward the end - The Super Bowl, I'd like to share some of my newer and older Packers artwork.  I hope you like it.  Go Packers!!!

Hall of Fame Linebacker - Ray Nitsche.  I met him once when I was about 10
years old.  He was a nice person and one of the toughest players ever, on the field.  Picture
produced using Wacom tablet and Painter software.

Current Pro Bowl Linebacker - Clay Matthews.  Photoshop and Wacom tablet
starting with a pencil sketch.  Love this guy - he's a gamer!!

The late, great Reggie White.  One of the all-time greats and an even better person
off the field.  This painting was produced with opaque watercolors (gouache), on
illustration board.
Brett Favre - pen and ink with Photoshop.  Of course we all know about Favre; the guy could flat-out
play Football.  
I have always enjoyed cartoon drawings.  This is one of former Packer wide out,
Donald Driver.  Driver was one of Brett Favre's favorite receivers to throw to.  He
was a great.  I drew the illustration with pen and ink - colored it with Photoshop software.

Usually when I'm making this kind of artwork, I like to try new and different things....it's
play-time for me.  This one started with a tight pencil rendering, then scanned and worked
it with Photoshop.  Dorsey Levens - former Packers running back.  He was a tough runner
and a good receiver out of the backfield.

Eddie Lacy - current All Pro running back for the Pack.  This guy is a load - stout and runs with
incredible power.  The pic is comprised of photo reference, painted in Photoshop.

Aaron Rodgers - All World Quarterback for the Packers.  Pen and Ink cartoon, painted with Photoshop.
Love this guy - he's an amazing player.  We'll see how he plays this weekend.
Last one - Pen and Ink picture of Reggie White.  I've done many pen and inks of Packers over the years, so I had to include at lease one that's just an ink drawing.  RIP Reggie.

I hope you enjoy my collection of some of my Packers artwork.  I enjoyed drawing them.  I can't wait for the game this weekend.  We've got friends coming in from the midwest and family from San Diego...should be a lot of fun.
Enjoy the game and remember - if your team doesn't win - don't take it too hard.  I sure hope the Pack can make it and win the Super Bowl - but only two teams will be there.  It's been a great year so far...we'll see what happens.

Peace,

Tom
