This 8" x 10" stipple illustration of Vince Lombardi, completed during Fall's freshman year at Missouri Southern State University in 1996, marks an early intersection between his academic art training and passion for football history. Created for a beginning drawing class, the portrait captures Lombardi's iconic features - his characteristic fedora, distinctive brow-line glasses, and iconic smile - through thousands of meticulously placed dots, demonstrating Alvin's early mastery of the pointillism technique that would later influence his detail-oriented approach to sports illustration.
