This little graphic I did last year for Nick Mendola is catching on like wildfire. I’m getting plenty of inquiries about it, so I decided to make some shirts. Since some of you jerks are stealing my art and selling these shirts anyway, I figure I may as well be the jerk selling them. I have struggled with the idea of getting back into shirts for a while, but the demand is such that I feel like this may work better than my last foray into the apparel world. Also, rumor has it that Ryan Fitzpatrick has seen this on a shirt already, and loved it. So, let’s do it. GET A SHIRT HERE
••NOTE: I had to change & clean the design up a bit for shirt production.
The Sabres have made it into the postseason! To celebrate, I made this Gerbe graphic that I’ve been wanting to make. For old school NES fans, you’ll recognize the inspiration.
Overall, I’ve grown to really like this Sabres team. While last year’s squad was a division winner, they didn’t show the guts and grit that the Sabres of 2010-2011 have shown. Nathan Gerbe has emerged as a team leader, and inspiration to watch. He was one of our better forwards last year in the first round loss to Boston, but it looked grim for him at the beginning of this season. Thank God the team stuck with him, and Nathan has shown Buffalo that he’s the kind of player we have been waiting to root for since they switched from red jerseys. Gerbe reminds me a little bit of Donald Audette in a way. He’s small, feisty and has one hell of a shot. That empty net goal he scored versus Montreal pretty much tells us all we need to know about his work ethic, and desire to win.
Speaking of a desire to win, Thomas Vanek has been wearing it on his sleeve. I’ve always bristled when people have called him lazy. He’s becoming a superstar in front of our very eyes. With the added ice time & responsibility, he’s become the Sabres Optimus Prime. The guy has been making plays everywhere on the ice, and his passes tonight against Philadelphia were laser-sharp. It would be a travesty if Vanek is not named the Captain of the Sabres for years to come.
Hey maybe they should toss this jam into the mix down at HSBC. This is not only hilariously awesome, but it’s just the kind of anthem fans have been clamoring for. Well, maybe not . . . but they should still play it on the reg. This is what I call “Jumbotron Gold”.
Well it’s here, and it’s earlier than usual: THE NHL TRADE DEADLINE. As my wife is watching the never-ending oscars, I’m in the office reading up on all the NHL rumors I can find. This has traditionally been my favorite day of the year (if you exclude birthdays and wedding anniversaries) since I was 7 years old. I remember racing out to the car after school, making my Mom turn on WGR and waiting in anticipation to see if the Sabres made any trades. I remember … Continue Reading
With Terry Pegula set to introduce himself as the new Buffalo Sabres owner in a few hours, I decided to create this ‘Hope’ graphic as a way to calm my anxiousness. I’m extremely excited, as is most everyone I know, to hear what Mr. P has to say . . …. Continue Reading
