Champagne, Guinness, and a flight home
Bringing Home the Cup captures one of the most iconic moments of the St. Louis Blues’ Stanley Cup celebration: Patrick Maroon, a St. Louis native, holding the Cup on the flight home from Boston, seated next to Conn Smythe winner Ryan O’Reilly, who’s drinking a Guinness in a nod to his Irish heritage. I painted the piece live and auctioned it on the rooftop of the Angad Arts Hotel to benefit STL Impact.
Inside the Art: The Story Behind Bringing Home The Cup
The Blues won the Cup in Boston, which meant the celebration started in the air before it ever touched down in St. Louis. The party continued once the plane landed, through the championship parade and into bars, restaurants, and businesses across the city, as loyal Blues fans celebrated a title decades in the making alongside the team that finally delivered it.

Print Technique & Materials
Prints are reproductions of original paintings using a high-quality inkjet printing technique known as "giclee."
Unframed and framed artwork is printed on archival cotton rag paper, which is acid free and will resist fading and discoloration for generations. Unframed prints on paper are unsigned and feature a 1.5"-2" white border around the image. Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
All framing is custom made to the exact specifications of each image, with an acid-free white mat and acrylic glazing (glass is prone to breaking when shipped). Most prints are non-traditional sizes and will not fit properly in mats or frames purchased off the shelf, therefore custom framing is recommended.
Canvas prints are referred to as "gallery-wrapped" because the color or image wraps around the sides of the canvas and it is stapled on the back. The canvas is wrapped around 1.5" deep wood stretcher bars and arrives ready to hang.
Framed canvas prints feature a "float frame," which has a 0.25" gap between the edge of the canvas and the frame moulding. The frame is 2" deep.
Custom Mat for Unframed Paper
Most unframed prints are non-standard sizes and will require a custom mat to properly display the artwork, though the outer dimensions of the mat will fit standard frame sizes.
You can purchase a custom mat from your local frame shop or online. If online, we suggest Matboard & More. Choose Arctic White in Decorative Quality, or if you prefer to upgrade, select White Art in Conservation Quality.
