Liquid pencil is pretty useful. Just takes a while to get round your head that you’re ‘painting’ on graphite. Anyway here’s a liquid pencil sketch of Ken Stabler!

Showing sole older stuff because I've only got paintings in the prep stage at the moment! Back in 2018, I toyed with hand painting a set of vintage NFL themed art trading cards. I thought they could be cool art pieces for collectors on a budget. Maybe start them back up again?

Best I could fit into the vintage Damac border but I think it works ok. Dolphins and Jets (when I do them!) are already drawn out at the right aspect, so I won't have to crop those as much as this one. (Might look a bit dark on your device but this is just a draft)
