Weigh In

This was a piece I did while I was freelancing for a company doing graphics for the UFC.  This was before they had their own in-house crew.

At the time, I didn’t quite know what I was doing and didn’t have a pitch prepared for the company.  Dana White seemed to like it. I was in his office to show it to him, but at the time, I didn’t know who he was in the organization. In any case, it was a missed opportunity.

I got busy with other clients and I didn’t do more of these, though I have some somewhere that are still in the drawing stage. But those fighters are long gone.  This was from the weigh-in before Randy Couture fought Josh Barnett.

This is probably my favorite painting technique. I really need to do more of these.

If I was asked, I’d do more of these as a commission. I love doing portraits.
