How Teams & Agencies Use My Art

Gifts & Recognition

Custom portraits for players, coaches, team legends, owners and key partners. Common uses:

Major signings & contract extensions
Milestone moments (100th cap, 1,000 games played, retirements)
Gifts for ownership, board members, and partners

Suites, Clubs & Offices

Statement pieces that make premium areas and internal spaces feel more like your club than generic hospitality. Common uses:

Corporate suites and partner‑branded spaces
Club lounges, tunnels and concourses
Front office and training facility walls

Fans & Retail

Limited‑run prints or collaborations based on key players/moments that can enhance the fan experience at retail, online shop or as member perks. Common uses:

Special‑edition prints for anniversaries or cups
Season-ticket-holder gifts
Charity auctions for the club foundation

Agency Relationships

Personal pieces that prove you value relationships and reflect the level of talent you represent. Common uses:

Lobby and recruiting walls
Client milestone / retirement gifts
“Agency legends” walls featuring your most accomplished clients
Long‑term client recognition

How the Process Works

1. Discuss the subject & scope
We clarify who it is for, where it will hang, and your timeline (event date, reveal, etc.).

2. Concept & approval
Your team shares photos and brand guidance. I develop a composition, size recommendations, and pricing for approval.

3. Paint, frame & deliver
I complete the painting on an agreed timeline and submit for final approval. Then, I coordinate framing and ship it insured. Digital files and prints are created from the approved art.

RECENT PROJECTS

Seattle Kraken

The team commissioned a painting to celebrate Adam Larsson's 1000th NHL game, which was presented to him during the pre-game ceremony. It captures his 15-year career with the Devils, Oilers, and Kraken. The clear spot varnish reads “1000 NHL Games Played.”

"It was an easy decision to reconnect with Kyle when Adam Larsson reached his 1000-game milestone. Communication was seamless throughout. We shared reference photos spanning Adam’s career and the teams we wanted represented, and Kyle took that foundation and did his own research to build out the final composition.

The finished piece meant a lot to Adam and his family, and it was just as well received by our staff and front office. We were proud to display it for our fans as we celebrated such a special achievement."

- Aaron Wiggan, Vice President of Brand Creative, Seattle Kraken

Arizona State University

Sun Devil Golf Gallery

ASU's Golf program commissioned 12 paintings for its new, state-of-the-art player training facility. It features 11 of the school's current stars on the PGA and LGPA tours, and a portrait of the five National Championship winning coaches. It shows current players and potential recruits the global weight that the Sun Devil Golf program carries.

"When I saw Kyle's art, I was like, 'Wow, that's amazing.' That was exactly the look and feel we wanted. It's not that often where you have a vision for something and what it'd be like and it ends up being better than what you thought. I'm really thrilled with how it came out."

- Matt Thurmond, Head Coach, ASU Men's Golf

Adolfo Cambiaso's 50th Birthday

The USPA needed a special birthday gift for the greatest player its sport has ever seen. Adolfo's wife chose a sentimental photo with his most decorated horse, Cuartetera. The painting was unveiled at his surprise 50th birthday party at the National Polo Center in Wellington, FL.

"It was an amazing night! He is the greatest polo player ever, and we made history by being a part of a very special night with his family and close friends."

- J. Michael Prince, President & CEO, USPA Global

Coming off of back-to-back Stanley Cup victories, the Panthers partnered with Amazon to convert the suite level of Amerant Bank Arena into an exclusive art gallery.

My painting captures pivotal members of the team reflected in the Cup and celebrates its South Florida roots. The clear spot varnish reads "Florida Panthers Stanley Cup Champions."

“The Florida Panthers are proud to launch the ‘Celebration of Arts’ program with our partner Amazon to spotlight the abundance of artistic talent within our South Florida community."
