Albie Espinola- Pal of Mine and a Modern Master

Last year, I wrote an article on Maxboxing.com about a friend of mine, Albie Espinola, whose art (specifically boxing-related) caught my eye. Albie is a British artist and fashion designer with an inimitable style and a flair for detail and long, long hours at the canvas. I just wanted to share his latest video, a time-lapse (I have to admit; Albie inspired me to do a variation of his theme with the Stereo Transmitted Disease video I posted last autumn) of a super-colorful rendering of a post-victory Manny Pacquiao celebration (complete with appearances by trainer Freddie Roach and Top Rank honcho Bob Arum!). After you check out this killer video (with an excellent, stylish, mash-up soundtrack made even cooler with ringside commentary), please click the link below the video to read my May 2010 article on this amazing talent!

Manny Pacquiao and Freddie Roach

My latest commissioned piece, an acrylic on 24" X 36" stretched canvas, of Manny Pacquiao and trainer Freddie Roach! Many thanks to Chris Piche (who commissioned this) for the fantastic concept!
