In June I was notified that my artwork "Smokey" Joe Williams from my series "A" Game In The "B" Leagues, took first place (Profesional artist category) at the annual Jerry Malloy Negro League Conference in Indianapolis, Indiana. I am humbled and honored, as my work was chosen from participants around the United States. My winning entry along with the other winners work will be on display at the National Art Museum of Sport in Indianapolis, Indiana from June 21st until October 2011. I also would like to give Ovation a shout out, because they supported my series "A" Game In The "B" League during it's stay at The Museum of Tolerance during the first quarter of 2011. The exhibition was exposed to thousands of people. One of those people being author Byron Motley, whose father was a Negro League umpire. He held a lecture at the museum, and my exhibit was made part of that lecture. I was able to give the museum director and the participants of the lecture a detailed tour/discussion of the exhibit. Byron was amazed at my work and encouraged me to enter the contest. I did and got the results I wanted.
I do encourage everyone on Ovation to go to "A" Game In The "B" Leagues to learn more about the Negro Leagues and the players that made it legendary. Thanks for your support!
