Albert Pujols Painting Finished

THE FINISHED VERSION of Albert Pujols after adding the dots. This is the first in a series of ballplayer portraits I'll be doing. This one took roughly half a year to complete in working around my normal work schedule. Will be working on a Jackie Robinson portrait next.

In Progress: Albert Pujols N.L. MVP '09

OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS I've been working on an Albert Pujols painting, and thought what better time to post my progress with The Machine claiming his third N.L. MVP award. And if not for Barry Bond's tainted legacy, this might have been Pujols' fifth MVP award. I'll be posting the finished version eventually.

Albert Pujols: Halfway Up Mt. Maris

IT'S BEEN OVER A DECADE since Big Mac and Sammy both broke Roger Maris' single-season homerun record, but all we've been left with is all the steroid garbage that has littered the baseball landscape since then. Yet just over halfway through the 2009 season, Albert Pujols has rekindled thoughts of ascending Mt. Maris having launched 31 big flies in 82 games. We used to marvel at the greatness of recent right-handed hitters like Alex Rodriguez, Manny Ramirez, Vladimir Guerrero and Edgar Martinez, but Pujols surpasses them all. Somehow the ESPN SportsCenter Pujols commercial doesn't seem too far from the truth.
