Old School All Stars




Isaiah "Sleepy" Pullman

Mick Reasor

Gouache on Rives BFK, 3.5 x 2.5 inches.

From a time before endorsement deals, earrings and astroturf when real men with politically incorrect nicknames played their entire careers for the same team, comes Old School All Stars. Original, One-of-a-kind miniature paintings by Mick Reasor featuring fictional heroes of the gridiron. This card portrays Isaiah "Sleepy" Pullman, linebacker for the Cleveland Cuyahogas. Sleepy's nickname comes from the somnolent state in which he leaves opposing quarterbacks.

Enlarged.
