Fazzino’s Final Report from Super Bowl XLIV

February 12th, 2010

I’m finally back in the studio. Actually arrived home on Monday, but then it snowed, snowed, and then snowed some more! Yesterday was our first full day back. There are a few more things I wanted to share from my Super Bowl experience before moving on to my next adventure.

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS TO THE NEW ORLEANS SAINTS! I’ve modified the final Super Bowl artwork to reflect the Saints Championship effort. What a fantastic game! I have to admit that i felt bad for my new friend Pierre Garcon, but it was heart-warming to watch the celebration in the French Quarter. Here’s the final Super Bowl artwork:

I had a lot of fun in Miami. Thank you to all of my collectors who came to the Wentworth Gallery shows in Ft. Lauderdale and Boca Raton. I enjoyed seeing all of you! I also had the distinct pleasure of meeting one of football’s greatest legends – Don Shula. He was the guest of honor at a cocktail party given by the South Florida Super Bowl Host Committee. We had the chance to speak for a few minutes and he autographed one of my hand-painted Super Bowl helmets. What a nice guy!

I can’t believe that this was my tenth Super Bowl! It is a great honor to be working with the NFL for this long and i’m looking forward to Super Bowl XLV in Dallas next year!

Pop Art Updates from Super Bowl XLIV

February 7th, 2010

It’s been a whirlwind this week down in Miami, where i’m making appearances for Super Bowl XLIV. I’ve done two cigar humidor signings, two national television interviews, a couple of local television interviews, two gallery shows, and i just finished a poster signing at the President’s Dinner at the Seminole Hard Rock Casino/Hotel - a fantastic event!

But the most important appearance i’ve made so far was yesterday, when i did the CBS Early Show with Indianapolis Colts Wide Receiver Pierre Garcon. Pierre, a Hatian-American, started a foundation – Helping Hands – to help those in need in his native country of Haiti. When the disastrous earthquake victimized the country last month, the work of Pierre’s foundation became that much more important. He and I have teamed up to raise money for the relief effort. We have both autographed one of my hand-painted, 3-D Super Bowl XLIV helmets and it is currently being auctioned on ebay with 100% of the proceeds benefitting Helping Hands. Take a look and bid generously!

Thanks,

Charles
