Featured above is the first Celtic's Team Caricature illustration by Mudge Studios for the Massachusetts Lottery's Green Stuff Campaign. The Celtics players represented include: Dennis Johnson, Larry Bird and Danny Ainge at Bottom from Left to Right. Top Left to Right showcases Darren Daye, Kevin McHale and The Chief- Robert Parish. It was pretty cool to be a year out of college and working on projects that involved one of My Favorite Home Teams. I've had the privilege of attending a few of the Celtic's Home Games when the then Big Three (Bird, McHale and The Chief) owned the parquet. I also had the opportunity to meet Robert Parish when he took a tour of Salem Sportswear back in the day. I was then working in the art department when he dropped by and said hello to us all. Man, he was TALL!
I believe that it was the following year, when I was assigned to replace Darren Day with Jim Paxson. That's right, the well known older brother of John Paxson of Chicago Bulls Fame. That reminds me, I went on to produce a few additional team caricature illustrations for other State Lotteries.
