Inspiration for the Artwork : “Our young hero finally gets a big play. He has made it around the end and down the sidelines when he is distracted by Cheerleader, Mary Lou,( 7th grade curse of puberty).
A third stringer; visual clues are pants so baggy his knee pads acting as shin guards, patched uniform, worn shoes (subs are always last in line when uniforms are handed out).
Our hero is about to be launched into space by a flying tackle by our ruff necked linebacker (visual clue-his broken nose, you never messed with a broken nosed kid growing up).
Our stop time image has only the cheek of the tackler touching our hero. His arms are still encircling his victim, who is oblivious in his moment of jr. high glory.
All this adds up to life’s lesson- One moment you’re on the top of the world the next you’re landing in the 2nd row bleacher.”
