Magic Johnson/Larry Bird by Jason Swain

Possibly the greatest, on court rivals in NBA history. Jason has captured the essence of two of Basketballs greatest players, Magic Johnson of the Los Angeles Lakers and Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics.

An era in Basketball history that witnessed these two greats coming together, to engage in on court battles, that are now as legendary as the players who created them.

This portrait has been created by Jason, from a photograph taken at the
1987 NBA Finals/Boston Garden.

This portrait is available as a Limited Edition Canvas Giclee.

I love the postures of their bodies and the expressions on their faces- these two rivals locked in battle for the same goal- and the music made me want to jump outta my chair and slam some basketballs through hoops!

Thank you folks for the kind comments, it's good to get back into it again after such a rollercoaster year. Looking forward to working with Shanon on some more projects.

Only thing that you should change in your painting tactic is that backround must be always painted first. Cuz then u dont have to worry about painting an arm or hair with that black colour by accident.

btw great work

Nice to know you read them, Jason! You've got a heck of an ally in Shanon. Looking forward to seeing more projects from the team...

[Cherryhill6]

Awesome! I look forward to seeing more of your beautiful art, and Shanon's videos. Great team!

Again you have proven what an amazing artist you really are. It never ceases to astound me how great your work is.

Thanks for sending me this Shanon.

This is so brilliant, I love all of Jasons work, there is nothing more satisfying than seeing a blank canvas turn into a great piece of art...Jason, you are one talented guy and Shanon, you have excelled yourself again...Love you both!..
