Here in America we will be celebrating THE Secular Feast on Sunday. The Super Bowl is way more than sweaty millionaires colliding into each other and hoping to raise the golden calf shaped like a football over their head. Its about clever commercials, its about parties , its about Bruce Springsteen yelping " Baby I was Born to Run..."

Two of my buds have had the talent and skill to be chosen to paint the POSTER for the Super Bowl. Mick McGinty, of Twice A Week , http://twiceaweek.blogspot.com/ and Chris Hopkins.

See Chris's Art at http:/www.chrishopkinsart.com

I've spoken a bit about Mick but I want to introduce the Viking Man of the North...Chris Hopkins. Chris and I went to Art Center together and we have maintained a friendship all these years. Chris is a truly gifted soul. He looks more like a lumberjack than an artist. His clients have included the NFL, where he painted numerous portraits of gridiron superstars. Most notably Steve Young and Jerry Rice. He also has gained Rock and Roll fame for painting the STYX album cover. Chris brings a distinct style to his portraits and he is a master of capturing character in all that he paints. He stages and lights his subjects in dramatic fashion and it always feels right. He is also one of the kindest and humblest artists buds I have had the priviledge to know and admire.

I also have the chutzpah to add one of my posters that I licensed to the NFL next to Mick's and Chris's posters.. If you can't get hired by them, make them an offer they can't refuse.
