Hines Ward of the Pittsburgh Steelers

Thank You again Eugene. Im originally from Pittsburgh, & graduated from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh way back when. My first job out of AIP was Picture Pages with Bill Cosby designing childrens workbooks. Franco Harris owned part of that & would come into the studio from time to time. He was a super nice guy. I played in the band in school, & we performed at one of the games. They loved us! We brought out a huge American flag that just about covered the entire field! Now I brought back some of my own memories! Now I'm missing it again. Thank You so much again, you are so kind! CC :)

Me too! But I moved to AZ in 90... my how life tends to get away from us so quickly. I graduated from The Art Institute of Pittsburgh back in 85. It is a beautiful & amazing city. And yes, if your from Pittsburgh, you will forever be a Steelers fan! I love Hines, he does have a contagious smile doesnt he???? I think I posted above that while drawing him, I kept smiling to myself! Is he married??? lol!!! so cute :D Oh!!!! I forgot to thank you for the wonderful compliment on this drawing! Thank you Michele! See?? I was blinded by his smile! ha ha ha Carla :)

I have to say this Curtis, I remember the first time when Franco came in my little studio to shake my hand. I thought wow, he has such nice skin, soft hands, & a soft & gentle voice. He is such a gentle giant & very kind. I also remember my mom yelling at me for not asking for his autograph! lol! I was just so shy back then... Again, thank you, Carla :)

Thank you Curtis! I dont know if you read my bio, but I used to work for Franco back in the 80's I also lived down the street from Mel Blount many moons ago... Ya, Hines is my fave!!! he is too cute on dancing with the stars! Thank you so much for the compliment & congratulations on your sale!! I dont have the greatest eyesight, & what brought me to your page was the woman next to you... I was like, is that oprah???? lol!! thanks one more time & cant wait to see more of your work, Carla :)

He is just such a happy cutie pie lol! I like watching him on dancing with the stars too... I love Pittsburgh & I long to get back there. Thank you so much Carol :)
