Custom Painted Fender Guitar & Louisville Slugger Bat

I was honored to be selected as one of 30 artists commissioned for a special collaboration between Major League Baseball (MLB), Fender Guitars, and Louisville Slugger during the 2019 MLB All-Star Week in Cleveland, Ohio.

Celebrating the intersection of art, music, and America’s favorite pastime, the collaboration brought together artists representing all 30 MLB teams to transform iconic Fender Stratocaster guitars and Louisville Slugger baseball bats into one-of-a-kind works of art.

Selected to represent the Texas Rangers, I created a custom hand-painted guitar and baseball bat inspired by the bold spirit of Texas. Using multiple layers of aerosol paint, I incorporated the classic red, white, and blue color palette into my signature abstract geometric style. The result was a vibrant pair of original artworks that brought my contemporary street art aesthetic to two iconic pieces of American sports and music culture.

The completed pieces were featured in a public art exhibition at Midsummer Village in Cleveland’s Public Square, alongside custom creations from artists across the country. Following the exhibition, the collectible guitars and bats were auctioned through MLB Auctions, with proceeds supporting charitable initiatives and music education programs.

This unique partnership brought together three legendary brands, celebrating creativity, craftsmanship, and the power of art to connect communities through sports and music.
