New NFL Season - New Packer Artwork

Hi All,

Well - it's been quite a summer and is shaping up to be a crazy fall. There's so much going on in the weather and natural disasters, social and political arenas, and just about every aspect of life.  Sometimes it's nice to come together and enjoy a little diversion.

Here in the USA, we love our American Football.  Tonight we had our first football game of the new season, but most of the games are played on Sundays.

As you may know, I'm a Green Bay Packers fan.  I've been a fan and been creating Packer artwork since I was a kid.  For the past few weeks I've been working on a new piece for 2017.  I've decided on Ty Montgomery as the subject.

Last year, the Packers wide receiver stepped up and stepped into the running back position when all of the Packers RBs were getting injured....and he excelled!  He's a team guy, who's willing to do what's needed.   He's a tough guy, hard worker, and I admire the kind of player he is -- I'm hoping he has a big year.

I created the artwork by drawing/painting it on my computer with Photoshop and a Wacom tablet.  I hope you like it.

He reminds me of another hard nosed player who used to play for the Packers -- Big Ray Nitschke.  He played the game with grit and passion.  It's nice to see players for the Packers carry on those traditions and continue to grind it out on the "Frozen Tundra" of Lambeau Field.  Go Packers!!

Enjoy the football season everyone.  It looks like it'll be a good one.  And...remember those who are having a rough time.  Lend a hand when you can.

Peace and Blessings,

Tom
