1987 Doug Flutie Caricature for Salem Sportswear

Doug Flutie Caricature • Salem Sportswear •1987 Pellon Sample

First off- Doug Flutie is Wicked Awesome!

Mudge had the pleasure of creating the above caricature of Doug Flutie for Salem Sportswear way -way back in 1987. This Doug Flutie t-shirt assignment was special as it was to be Mudge's first drawing of many NFLers for Salem Sportswear's line of officially licensed Caricature products. Just so happened that Mudge grew up and graduated college in Massachusetts in 1986. In '87- Doug Flutie, who came from Boston College Fame with his November 23, 1984 "Hail Flutie" pass and The Heisman Trophy, was returning home again to play for the NFL's New England Patriots. There was so much excitement in the air with Flutie's return to the area that  t-shirt orders had to be fulfilled asap. Mudge was honored that Salem Sportwear chose the local kid to do the artwork for this one!

Well, Turns out that Doug would play two years for the Patriots and then head up to the Great White North to play in the Canadian Football League. In the CFL, Doug Flutie would absolutely dominate the Canadian League capturing multiple Grey Cups, setting a season's record 48 Touchdown passes and earning multiple MVP honors and the CFL's Most Outstanding Player six times!

After doing everything a quarterback could possibly do up there, Doug Flutie returned to the NFL playing for the Bills. In Buffalo he secured a spot in the Pro Bowl and also took home the honor of Comeback Player of the Year.  Next stop was San Diego where he suited up for the Chargers for a few years.  In 2005 Doug had one more important stop to make. Yes…  Doug returned home to the Patriots to finish his remarkable career!  Doug Flutie is the definition of Gamer. Standing at only 5 ft 10 in and weighing only 180 lbs, Doug was able to accomplish what many had said just couldn't be done. Doug, you Rock!

Mo Vauhn The Hit Dog Caricature

 Mo Vaughn The Red Sox Hit Dawg! 1994 Lowell Sun

Maurice Vaughn aka 'Mo' and 'The Hit Dog' is only three years younger than I am. Mo played in the Major Leagues from 1991-2003 for three MLB Teams. Of course I remember him as Boston's First Baseman where he was awarded the AL MVP Award in '93. Mo had a  colorful personality, did a lot of charity work  and was definitely a leader in the clubhouse. Unfortunately, things were not always so smooth with the team's GM. Mo eventually moved on to play with the Anaheim Angels in 1999.

I remember getting the call from my local newspaper to do a caricature of Mo Vaughn number 42 of the Boston Red Sox. It was May of 1994, when many people still got their news from their daily paper. As always it was a pleasure having my work published on the sports page of the local paper  that some of my friends and family would peruse. I am lucky to live where I do. The New England Sports Teams are solid!
