This portrait is a tribute to the amazing achievements of Willie Mays, legendary baseball player who played with the Giants in New York and San Francisco, and then the Mets in New York. With thanks to Barry Bonds and Willie Mays for their generosity in allowing me access to their archives and photographs for the purpose of creating this tribute, and for Willie Mays in making time to sit for his portrait (the live portrait is integrated into the collage in the upper right corner). This artwork will be on display at the George Krevsky Gallery, 77 Geary Street, San Francisco, as part of their annual Art of Baseball show from March 31st until April 30th, 2005, along with my portrait of Jackie Robinson..
