2022 is going to be exciting! It is amazing to see the progress I am making as an artist. This first ever attempt at painting was done on a whim to honor my friend @cedrickwhardman, each new piece teaches new lessons. I engage the work as a meditative and therapeutic practice to enhance my own well-being as well as personal growth. I would love to hear your thoughts.... Reposted from @art_n_legends From our upcoming Sack Masters, Inc. #nftart project... No. 01/60 "Last Man Standing" 16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvas Artist π¨: @officialdonwestjr This piece represents the first original painting from the artist, Don West, Jr. In this first of its kind Legacy Collective art project, West will be painting a canvas of all the members of the exclusive 100 quarterback sack club creating uniquely rare collectible NFT's from the originals. Cedrick Hardman, DE, #86 Drafted No. 9 overall in 1970 out of North Texas by the San Francisco 49ers, a member of the famed 49ers #goldrushdefense, he ranks #23t All-Time on the @sackmastersinc list. Hardman racked up 130.0 career sacks during his pro football career, amassing 122.5 sacks with the 49ers and Oakland Raiders of the NFL and 8.0 sacks in a single season campaign with the Oakland Invaders of the USFL. 49ers: 108.0 sacks Raiders: 14.5 sacks Invaders: 8.0 sacks Hardman's 108.0 sacks with San Francisco 49ers is an all-time high for the franchise. The NFL did not recognize the sack as an official defensive statistic until the 1982 season, so officially Hardman is credited with no sacks. In 171 NFL games Hardman averaged 0.72 sacks per game, which ranks him tied for 15th all time when compared to those with at least 100 career sacks. #art #legends #artnlegends #nfl #sanfrancisco49ers #49ers #raiders #usfl #oaklandinvaders #cedrickhardman #qbsack #qbsacks #sacks #quaterbacksack #sackmasters #purveyorsoftheqbsack #nftproject #nftartproject #nft #nfts #artproject #acryliconcanvas https://www.instagram.com/officialdonwestjr/p/CYDJar5FuQl/?utm_medium=tumblr
