The Benchwarmers Suck

So, here we have "The Benchwarmers Suck." I wanted to do something horizontal, I wanted to do a crowd. I wanted to use background shadows to create a striping effect through the image, I wanted dynamic structure and I wanted it to be fun. I hadn't done a team sport theme in a very long time so went there with this. I think I succeeded in satisfying all of my personal requirements for this piece. As a matter of fact, I think that this is a minor masterwork in the field of homoerotic art. I think whoever owns the original will be a very smart and happy collector.
