Yes, that’s the name of my New Orleans Saints XLIV Super Bowl win celebration piece. It took me longer to release this than I wanted, but then again it took the Saints a long time to capture the title. Hope it’s worth the wait.

Prints, limited editions giclees and the original painting are available. Click here to go to the Saints artwork page on my web site.

Also, Drew Brees will be doing a signing in June. Contact me at hurst@adamnfineartist.com if you’d like to order a print, giclee or painting with his autograph.

Got the Moxie commission I posted about earlier. This will be interesting. Lots of research. The final image is to be used as a poster and other merchandise for fund raising toward the Moxie Museum. A nostalgic look into the oldest “soft drink” in the U.S.,1884. Began as a nerve tonic. For the continuing saga visit my Facebook Fan Page.
