“Denver had the chance to pick who they wanted to play…
They chose us. And we used that as motivation all the way through preparation and through the series.
They chose us. They didn’t have to choose us. They chose us.”
- Chris Finch
Rory McIlroy commissioned this pencil drawing after last year's Masters Tournament.
The artist (@KeeganHall) provided context on Reddit:
• Spent 6+ months working on it
• Estimates 600-800+ total hours
• Worked on it 6-7 days each week
• Uses a Pentel Graphgear mechanical pencil
Hall says this piece was incredibly challenging because so much detail went into such a small area. For context, the original is smaller than 30x22, so each face in the crowd is essentially a quarter of the size of a fingernail.
This is the second piece he has done for Rory.
Ye originally wanted Lauryn Hill on “All Falls Down” in 2004 as it interpolates her song “Mystery of Iniquity,” but he couldn’t get the sample cleared at the time
Two decades later he brings her out to perform it together for the first time in front of a sold-out crowd of 80,000 fans 🔥🔥🔥
LEGENDARY 🤯
INTERVIEWER (reading resume): Uh, under "Skills" here you have "Knew who Mrs. Doubtfire was right away."
ME: It was Robin Williams. It was their dad.
INTERVIEWER (whispering to colleague): This is our guy.
