New Painting of Aaron Judge Titled 62

NY Yankees Aaron Judge

Original painting created by artist Edgar J. Brown 2022 | http://edgarbrown.com

Hand painted on canvas New York Yankees Aaron Judge American League MVP titled 62.

In this painting I wanted to actually capture the moment, movement and the historic NY Yankees impact as he breaks Roger Maris record he set in 1961. The blue highlight represents Roger Maris spirit shining his light down on Aaron Judge… that spiritual moment 62nd home run was hit.
The background is intentionally black and white capturing that 1961 New York Yankees old school vibe with the stadium split in half. The right side is the traditional Yankees architect and the left side is the Texas Rangers Stadium with three banners displayed – 60 for Babe Ruth, 61 for Roger Maris, 62 for Aaron Judge and the Yankees side has two banners All Rise and MVP.

Commemorative Hambletonian Artist 1994 and 1996

/1 Comment/in /by

The Hambletonian at the Meadowlands Racetrack, is the most prestigious race in Harness Racing. It’s hard to believe that almost three decades ago I was named the Hambletonian artist of the year in both 1994 and 1996.  The original 1994 painting is currently hanging in the Meadowlands Racetrack corporate office. The 1996 original painting is in my private collection, both paintings were published and the image was used to create 275 limited editions lithographs, 2500 posters and 30,000 program covers.  I was thrilled to hear that in 1995 the Hambletonian artist of the year was Leroy Neiman.

Big John McCarthy UFC Referee

/in , /by

I had the honor of being commissioned to paint the former UFC Referee Big John McCarthy. The painting they wanted me to create was of a famous UFC 71 fight between Chuck Liddell and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson. They submitted a photograph of Big John McCarthy stopping the fight between the two fighters to use as a reference. They gave me creative liberties in how I approached the event and portrayed the crowd. Essentially this was an iconic fight in history and Big John has played a huge roll in the history of the Ultimate Fighter. I needed to make this monumental moment come to life, I needed to make you feel the event, to hear the crowd coming to life as Big John jumps in to protect a champion who has just succumbed to his challengers blows. The original painting is 30″ x 40″ acrylic on museum-quality canvas that was delivered to Big John McCarthy.
