I always wanted to do a print of Prefontaine (did a painting of him years ago).

That poster by Olly Moss is really inspiring. Never heard of him so had to research his work (and the event depicted in this poster: Olympics in Berlin where it was USA's Jesse Owens versus the Nazi's need to assert "Aryan racial superiority"). Anyway, I think Olly Moss is a genius. I just purchased a couple of t-shirts from Threadless.com with this awesome Olly design: The Food Chain
As much as I don't want to, I'm going to probably have to wait in line Thursday night at G1988 LA. Unless they will be taking phone orders...

Wish Millward's Gibby print was this moment... But I understand the Dodger moment is more epic for most...

Looks like Olly shouldn't have been so quick to make one about 1936, when according to this writer he could have made one about 2010.

Maybe a print with a mogul run and the star and stripes just beating out the maple leaf?

I'm sure no one cares, and the environment in Vancouver was different than watching it on TV, but:rossi1102 wrote:Looks like Olly shouldn't have been so quick to make one about 1936, when according to this writer he could have made one about 2010.

Hmm...I'm not so sure. It's quite serious and makes grand claims.
I primarily watched CTV. I saw plenty of coverage about the luge death and the top USA athletes, including Vonn, Ohno, Lysacek, and the long-track speed skating teams that beat out favourites. Any good commentator (like Catriona Le May Doan) knew exactly how each athlete from all over the world worked, what records they have, and the commentators also spoke favourably towards them each time they competed. I learned a lot about many athletes from other countries - most of whom I knew nothing about before these Olympics.
It makes sense that the networks would primarily cover Canadian athletes. It's not like these are the first Olympics where the host country focuses on their own athletes. I get the point that they should be focusing on other athletes (successes and tragedies alike) without immediately referring back to Canadian athletes, but maybe it's a way to get viewers to relate to the situation at hand. Yes, Rochette's mother passing away overshadowed South Korean Kim Yu-Na's gold medal win, but I never knew who she was before this. And everyone who watched the broadcast knew that Yu-Na gave one of the best figure skating performances of all time, technically speaking. Emotionally, however, of course people will connect with Rochette more. Because she went through a personal tragedy and still skated a couple of days after.
With the whole "Own the Podium" program, Canadian sports took a turn for the best. They're finally realizing that you have to think a certain way to become #1. You can't keep saying that "we all did a good job anyway" when you really wanted the gold medal but managed to come in 4th place. Athletes from here used to be more lackadaisical before learning the Olympics were going to be in Vancouver.
Love the Prefontaine. I see that guys image all over the place and that's a nice representation.
I dig the seachickens print too, but the numbering on the jersey is really bothering me. My brother is about as die hard seahawk fan as they come so I might grab that for him.

It seems like the artists were not as inspired for this event. Maybe it is bad timing? I guess I was hoping for a more serious take on the history of sports. I guess Danger's piece spoiled me. I still hope it is a success for Mitch.
