Shane Victorino Baseball Glove Art

The Philadelphia Phillies honored Victorino during a pre-game ceremony on August 3 at Citizens Bank Park, presenting him with this one-of-a-kind painting as recognition of his All-Star Phillies career.

sean-kane-shane-victorino-flyin-hawaiian-phillies-glove-art.jpg

The "Flyin' Hawaiian", a two-time All-Star, won three NL Gold Glove Awards over eight seasons in Philly and was part of their 2008 Championship team.

Shane's celebration after hitting his pivotal grand slam in Game 2 of the 2008 NL Division Series is featured, too.

sean-kane-shane-victorino-flyin-hawaiian-phillies-glove-art-overhead.jpg

For this painting commission, the Phillies chose photo references and sourced an Akadema baseball glove just like the one Shane used in the outfield.

Creating the Victorino Glove Artwork

sean-kane-shane-victorino-flyin-hawaiian-phillies-akadema-glove-art.jpg

The painting was created with acrylic paints and on an Akadema outfielders glove. Once the team selected from a variety of designs I presented using photos they chose, work began on preparing and painting the glove. This included hand-lettering of text, Phillies logo and portrait painting.

 

sean-kane-shane-victorino-flyin-hawaiian-phillies-glove-art-short-handle-brush.jpg

The tight space in the glove required chopping the brush handle in half so I could fit it and my hand in there to paint.

Baseball Artwork for the Philadelphia Phillies

This is my fourth painting for the Phillies. Previously I painted catcher "Chooch" Ruiz, a glove for Ryan Howard, which was also presented in an on-field ceremony at Citizens Bank Park, and painted base for Jim Thome.

Thanks to the Phillies for partnering with me to create this special gift and here's to Shane enjoying this keepsake artwork for years to come.

The Phillies sent me a game-used base with a connection to Thome's time on the team for this painting commission.

sean-kane-jim-thome-phillies-hall-of-fame-base-portrait-art-5249.jpg

The base was on the field as first base when Thome hit his final Phillies home run, a walk-off homer in 2012.

sean-kane-jim-thome-phillies-hall-of-fame-base-art-5154.jpg

Creating the Thome Base Artwork

The painting was created with acrylic paints and is 15 x 15 inches. Once the team selected from a variety of designs I presented, work began on preparing and painting the base. This included hand-lettering of text, Phillies logo and portrait painting. Quite a bit bigger than my usual glove art, this one clocked in at 120+ hours.

sean-kane-jim-thome-phillies-hall-of-fame-base-hand-lettering-5092.jpg

Thome signed with the Phillies in 2003. Over parts of four seasons with the team, he hit .260 with 101 home runs, 281 RBI and a .925 OPS.

sean-kane-jim-thome-phillies-hall-of-fame-base-home-run-art-5180.jpg

Thome finished his career with 612 home runs over 22 seasons and was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2018.
