Texas Bowl Golf Tournament
Dec 1st
Good Morning Campers!
Headed off to the Kingwood Country Club for a golf tournament benefiting the Texas Bowl. Going to see a bunch old friends and acquaintances from the Oilers, Astros, UT Longhorns, and other teams. Looking forward to seeing Cat Osterman’s golf game. I suspect it’s pretty good. I usually get paired up with Ed Biles and Vernon Perry (lots of laughs with those two) at Kenny Houston’s tournament (same organizer); we’ll see what happens here. It’s nice and cool/cold this week. I’ve never swung a club in a hoodie. It could be an interesting day.

Baylor and Coach Grant Teaff Artwork Unveiling
Sep 15th
Grant Teaff by Robert Hurst (Baylor University)
Here’s my recap on the Grant Teaff Artwork Unveiling at the Texas Sports Hall of Fame, which was held last Thursday (September 10, 2009). For those of you not familiar with Grant Teaff, he’s a legendary Baylor University football coach.
The event was fun and went well. Approximately one third of the print edition and the original painting were snapped up. My understanding is that the painting will be presented to Baylor University, where it will reside. Coach Teaff was quite gracious and I enjoyed meeting many of his friends and family. Coach and Mrs. Teaff were well pleased with the artwork and Mrs. Teaff said that I was the first artist who captured Coach Teaff’s nose correctly. Portraits are my specialty so I was pleased to hear I got Coach right. If you, or any Baylor Bear fans you know, are interested in obtaining artwork that celebrates Baylor University football go to this page on my web site to view and / or order it. I’m excited to have artwork that reflects the great tradition of the Baylor Bears. Teaff has signed the prints so it makes this piece extra special. This lithograph will be sure to please any Baylor fan. More >

Arlington Sports Collector Show
Aug 20th
If you need to avoid me this weekend, the best place NOT to be will be at the Arlington Convention Center August 21 – 23. I’ll be working on a couple of commissions (one of Baylor Coach Grant Teaff and one for Rodeo Austin) and pestering some Dallas Cowboys. I’ll be slinging paint, so wear your rain slicker. Not responsible for “contact splatter”. Oh and BTW, I will have lots of great Dallas Cowboy artwork, prints, lithographs, paintings – both autographed and not – with me.
College Baseball Hall of Fame Induction Notes
Jul 30th
Hello Sports Art Fans,
I just returned from the 2009 National College Baseball Hall of Fame induction in Lubbock Texas. This event just seems to get better each year. I can imagine what it’ll become once ground is broken on the brick and mortar building. The plans are for a 27,000 sq ft building that includes a state-of-the-art, kid-friendly, 7,000 sq ft interactive room; a recessed baseball field; and more features too many to mention in this short post. The folks that designed Minute Maid Park and the new Kansas City Royals Museum are heading up this project. The results will be a destination vacation stop.
The inductees this year, included Joe Carter, Kirk Dressendorfer, Barry Larkin, Keith Moreland, Rafael Palmeiro, Ron Polk, Branch Rickey, and Todd Walker. Gordon Gillespie could not attend as his wife has become ill and Darren Dreifort could not either, as he is recovering from hip surgery. My best wishes to both. (To see and purchase the autographed limited edition prints I created of them click here.) More >
