“Vinny” Fall All-State
Alvin “Vinny” Fall All-State 1st Team, colored pencil 16in x 20in, (1995). Artist Private Collection
In this personally significant 1995 piece, Fall captures himself in action as a high school wide receiver, commemorating his All-State First Team honors. Created at 16" x 20" - a size that would become standard in his professional work - the colored pencil illustration demonstrates Fall's technical skill through the dynamic composition of a receiver securing a catch while being tackled. The piece includes a rendering of Fall's letterman jacket patch recognizing his All-State First Team selection, marking both an athletic milestone and an important step in standardizing his artistic format.
