I have heard the quote, “the year that was” referring to the 1985 Chicago Bears. 

As we tune into Super Bowl XLII, on Bears fans mind is more recently Super Bowl XLI, where Chicago fell apart and quickly allowed one of the most glorious plays (IMO) to go down in history without a win to back it up.

Even with subzero temperatures and frigid winds, Devin Hester continued to keep fans in awe and visiting teams on the their feet as the ball flew threw the windy city air. 

As promised at the beginning of this drawing, I release my Super Bowl Day Drawing of Devin Hester. 

This is a finished copy of a bar stool that I auctioned off in 2007.  I decided to repeat the process and share with you as I go along the pictures of how I drew a pencil sketch of Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow the one, the only Pirate of the 21st century! Well, I am sure Mark and Annie would have something to say about that.  This piece  had an inlaid piece of jewelry within Jack Sparrows Dreadlocks.

The piece shown is a copy that I turned into a book bag for my mommy, I again produced the stars and celestial effect using photoshop, but the original circle image is what was created on the bar stool  With a gloss finish on the top and a flat black on the legs of the bar stool, the contrast really was quite interesting.

The picture on the right is now floating around Wauconda, Illinois or a near suburb as someone’s ass end is sitting on Johnny’s face drinking rum no doubt, no horror in that ladies!  

In the coming days, I will share with you the beginnings of a serving tray that I am working on with a very similar picture of our beloved Captain Jack Sparrow!

Congrats to John & Chrissy up in the snow covered tundra of Minnesota on the arrival of Madeline Rose - born on Christmas Day 2007 after a long night..but I hear there was an epidural involved in the process - you cheaters! What movies did you watch?

I looked at some pictures after Jake was born, during the early 90’s and the horrific HMO’s that were in place.. I felt like I went through a drive through delivery.. umm.. what would you like… “a baby” okay..your cost..over five grand, please pull forward.

Jake is now six foot two and over 250 - yeah, one would think that he would play football with my love for the game, but not happening in our household, but he sure can play good guitar.

Enjoy it to its fullest John & Chrissy - before you know it, she will be dating…and they may be just like John! I am looking forward to taking Madeline’s Flat Stanley to Victoria Secret as well!

I drew this using graphite and charcoal, I added the pink for the baby girl with Photoshop!
