I've never been a hockey fan (my apologies to those that are) but the images are wonderful to work with. I did this about the same time as yesterdays piece along with a couple more that I will put up next weekend. With Pittsburgh vying for the Stanley Cup, down 3 game to 2 I thought a little Super Mario might help them bring a matching title to the city with the Super Bowl champions.
I've always felt sports created the best drama which lend themselves to some of the best images. At the time, I was working in watercolour and tried to use the medium to show action and sweat and the elegance of the athlete. Whether I was successful or not is up to the individual.
