Year in Review: 2021 Artwork

Year in Review: 2021 Artwork

The year 2021 has been such an enlightening year, full of producing artwork for clients, and myself. Similar to previous years, accomplishing everything from private murals; oil paintings and pencil drawings for individuals; some branding packages including an original logo and website; and new murals which will be showcased for 2022; a handful of new Biondo Art merchandise including designs for stickers, magnets, and t-shirts. It’s so exciting!

Let’s review the entire scope of work we completed this year with our motivated clients!

PERSONAL

BUFFALO ROYALTY

The Buffalo Bills have been having such a great couple of seasons, and continuing on a great path for the 2021 season. As kings of the AFC East, Josh Allen has been the subject of some of my artwork. This 18″ x 24″ oil painting contains some art deco elements with some realistic portrait qualities. These were sold in limited edition prints of 20.

JOSH ALLEN PORTRAIT

The Buffalo Bills momentum carried right through with a bunch of wins towards the end of the season. I created another Josh Allen piece which is an 11″ x 14″ pencil drawing portrait in a realistic style.

Purchase an 11″ x 14″ print of this right here!

STEFON DIGGS PORTRAIT

Since I was able to draw Josh Allen, I had to pair him together with another drawing in a similar style. This time with Stefon Diggs, which is one of Josh Allen’s favorite receivers. I’m hoping to make more drawings to add to this series in the offseason.

You can order both Josh Allen & Stefon Diggs 11″ x 14″ prints here!

BUFFALO ON THE FIELD COLORING BOOK

Re-stocked a few times on the Buffalo On The Field coloring book. Had some fun creating this and thank you to all that have supported this project.

This is a 22-page coloring book with a selection of Buffalo Football illustrations I made for some seasons years ago, and now available to be colored at your own leisure!

There’s still so many, so come get some here!

GOODFELLAS

Josh Allen, Stefon Diggs, and Cole Beasley are the Goodfellas! Inspired by the classic movie and Bills Mafia fanbase! Truly, fan-favorite this year! Let’s go Buffalo!

“Ever since I can remember, I’ve always…” been in Bills Mafia!

FINE ART COMMISSIONS

BRICK HOME OIL PAINTING

Beginning with a blank canvas, and only using paint to allow the image emerge requires time and patience. I love the outcome of this painting. It was commissioned by my friend Mike to give as a gift to his parents.

SOPHIA

My sister introduced me to a really great client, Jaime (which worked on a custom Mickey Mouse oil painting a few years back), whom recently lost his dog, Sophia, that passed away. We worked together to look through pictures and complete something that treasured her memory. He loved it so much!

MOTHER & SON PENCIL DRAWING

Using a few photo references to replace some features to create an entirely new composition, I was able to create this piece for Maria to give as a gift to her husband to remember his mother. Personally, I think it’s such a sweet gesture to capture her memory.

IN MEMORIAM

In this delicately painted portrait, I worked on this for my friend, Phil, as a gift for a family friend! Truly commemorating a great man! May you rest peacefully.

TWO BUDDIES

We love our dogs, right?! I know that I love them! After all, a dog’s a man’s / woman’s best friend! I was able to create a composition with these two beautiful dogs in a custom 8″ x 10″ oil painting.

DELLY PUPS

My brother is one of my favorite people, and has helped me in so many ways as we matured. There’s so many laughs and amazing days between us that it could already fill a lifetime of memories. I drew this for him to hang in his house. It’s a portrait of another family pet, Del. He is a Buffalo Bills fan too!

BEACH SUNSET WATERCOLOR

It’s always such a wonderful memory to be able to stand where the water meets your feet on the beach watching a sunset! Capturing this in a watercolor painting became a gift for my friend, Jeff, to give to his girlfriend from a memory on their Cancun trip.

ILLUSTRATIONS

26 SHIRTS: Pancho Power

One of the biggest supporters of the Buffalo community is 26 Shirts, producing graphic tee’s and much more to raise money to help individuals in need. The Teacher’s Desk helps with giving school supplies to teacher’s and students within the Buffalo community as well! The two companies joined forces to be able to produce backpacks filled with school supplies for students to bring one of Pancho Billa’s wishes to reality. Ezra Castro was a Buffalo Bills superfan that also had an idea to bring his story to a children’s book which Roselyn Kasmire wrote, and I illustrated. All of us came together to produce t-shirts to raise funds for The Teacher’s Desk to provide more supplies and backpacks to students. I’m beyond honored to help with this design!

HOT BUFFALO

I just couldn’t stop creating Buffalo-themed artwork, especially with our Buffalo Bills being on a hot streak! I designed the Bills logo early in the year with an illustrative style.

MURALS

WISH YOU WERE HERE

How I wish you were here! Inspired by the lyrics of Pink Floyd and imagery of a sunset and beach lifestyles of Longboat Key. These were painted in one of the coolest private backyards that I’ve ever been to! It was absolutely gorgeous, and so much fun to work here, especially with great clients!
