Original artwork of Joe Montana in Kansas City Chiefs uniform displayed on white desk with red Prismacolor pencils used to create the piece. The artwork shows Montana throwing a pass against a deep red background.

Fall's second colored pencil piece from his junior year at Jasper High School captures NFL legend Joe Montana during his Kansas City Chiefs tenure. Created in 1994 on red illustration board, the artwork shows a marked improvement in detail from his first colored pencil work, particularly in Montana's facial features and the rendering of the Chiefs' iconic uniform. The composition, featuring Montana's ghosted arrowhead logo in the background, hints at the layered imagery technique that would become a hallmark of Fall's later work
