Earlier this week, i was in Fort Lauderdale to unveil my tenth Super Bowl commemorative artwork for the NFL. I can’t believe it’s been ten years! I don’t know if it will hit me until i get back to Miami for the actual festivities in February, but the NFL has been an absolute pleasure to work with. I’m honored that they have allowed me to create a ten-year Super Bowl pop art collection…..a collection about which i’m very proud.
Some wonderful people joined me for the unveiling. First of all, i have to extend my thanks to Kim Bokamper – a gentleman, former Dolphin great, and brilliant businessman. He opened the doors of his incredible sports bar – Bokamper’s – to us and to the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee for this incredible event. Dolphins defensive end Randy Starks and Miss Florida USA 2010 Megan Clementi, also helped me to unveil the piece.
I am also honored to be working with Altadis USA this year…specifically Jim Colucci and Janelle Rosenfeld….to create the first Super Bowl Montecristo humidor. We unveiled that at Bokamper’s too and it was absolutely spectacular.
You can see a video of the entire event in the Media Room of my website.
I’m looking forward to going back in February for a week of events including two gallery shows with Wentworth Galleries, an appearance at the Taste of the NFL, two humidor signings, and a stint in the Dolphins team store on Pro Bowl Sunday and Super Bowl Sunday. It’s going to be an exciting week and we hope to see as many of you down in South Florida as possible!
