Reddit user, fact_school_cat, requested an artist to paint a picture of the Founding Fathers Playing basketball:
There is not nearly enough art depicting our country’s Founders playing basketball, a game which was not invented until 100 years after the final colony ratified the Constitution. I want this art.
This is a new idea of mine, but I’d love to hire an artist to create this work. I haven’t quite decided on content, but I’m thinking either a team of Founding Fathers versus international enemies (think Kim Jong Eun — a real basketball fan) or versus a team of my least favorite players (think Andray Blatche). The game should probably take place in Philadelphia’s basketball arena.
This is a strange but serious request. Get back with me and let’s talk it over.
Thanks.
PS — if you know a better way to commission this work online, I’d love to hear about it.
A fellow Reddit user, I_may_be_Dead also known as Aaron Needham, took on the task.
Cool right?
