Sean Taylor Tribute Painting

Thank you. He spent 200 hours on it.

My daughter is an artist for a living,this guy is not very good .I showed this to her(she is a Skins fan) and she said if he spent 200 hours on that thing them someone is getting cheated!

She can tell all of that by looking at a picture on the internet? Without seeing the painting first hand? Without knowing how big it is, the kind of paint used and how many layers of paint used? Also, what does 200 hours include? Does it include setup and cleanup time after a painting session?


I call b.s. on your daughter's call.

This was posted on Extreme skins I just didn't have the time to edit it. To remove the logos from this painting tells me that they no longer consider Sean to be a Redskin and thats why I left them there. I have brought this painting out for the fans to see at a local sports bar for "Free", which it wouldn't be if it ended up at the Stadium. I have challenged a lot of the naysayers over at Extreme skins to email me with their own version of events and all I've heard is crickets chirping. So if you get the chance to get down to Pentagon Row shops, pop in a check out the portrait and let me know how you like it cause the fans deserve to see this for free not this organization.
Cheers

Well up until you said that they no longer cosidered Sean to be a skin I was starting to feel you just wanted what was fair. This organization did a ton for Sean and his family and still do to this day. It seems now you have something against the organization and it was even more clear when you had to throw in the little kids story. Why did you bring up the logo issue at first if you did not know there was an issue with trade marks to start with? I'm just not buying these entire story and think its more two sided then your leading us to believe. By the way I do like the painting.

I see I'm going to be bangin my head against a wall here no matter what I say. All I'm going to say is make your own mind up. I know what happened and thats all that counts and I hope you take your daughter to the bar to see the painting cause I'm guessing you only saw it on a computer, then you can give me your honest art critque.

Yeah, the painting is 6 feet tall ... more like a mural.

Are you kidding me with this??? Tacky..and some of the other statements here as well! Sounds more like your daughter is a jealous artist. Have her look at the art on his website, so she can turn even greener. I suggest she and you go take a look at it in person. A real artist is an art lover as well, and not just of their own work, and would never make a statement like that without seeing it up close and personal.You will both be blown away at just how magnificent this piece is. I agree with the artist, removing the logo's would be wrong, and the Redskins insisting he do so, would be a total shame...and yeah it is like saying he wasn't a Redskin. Guess it is OK to plaster the logo all over crap like plastic mugs and coasters..oh well that is OK, because they are making a profit. Read the article folks...really read it. They didn't have a problem with the logos until he wouldn't give it to them for free...duh this is a no brainer. They get it for free and start printing it on plastic mugs, coasters and T-shirts and the Hospital gets nothing. Hell yes he should get paid for painting this. How many other artist out there donate a percentage to charity?They approched him, not the other way around. So did Santana Moss, and then backed out on the advice of an agent who doesn't know art from a fart. Oh and I don't know about the rest of the Skins fans, but would love to hear something from the Redskins..Dan S.
I am hoping that they will do the right thing here, either buy the painting and let the hospital benefit, or let the artist find someone who will.
Kudo's to J. Swain for stepping forward and explaining, at least he is honest!

This has nothing to do with Sean,her Degree comes from the Corcoran as an artist looking at it artistically.....the value that has been placed on it and the hours don't add up.

Your daughter is growing up to be a Giant "one" too. ;)
