And the winner is... Pascal!

The winner for the Summer Olympics challenge is:

Pascal Kirchmair

Pascal's passion and enthusiasm for illustration always comes through each and every week. His portrait of Rafael Nadal really captures the feel of victory. Congrats, Pascal!

My other favorites were Matucha's and Candace Trew Camling's. It seems most artists here are not so attached to sports illustration. I guess you never know. :)

Summer Olympics

I have been having fun watching all of the events, but I especially like track and field and gymnastics. It's cool too, because Shawn Johnson and Lolo Jones are from West Des Moines and Des Moines. I felt bad for Lolo when she tripped, but both athletes are champs in my book.

Anyways, my illustration is a homage to the Jamaican track team, who seems to be tearin' it up out there!! I still think I like the winter events better, but I always look forward to the Olympics.
