I’m a New Yorker living in Minnesota. The 2001 NFC Championship game was a match-up of my two favorite football teams: the Giants & Vikings. I was looking forward to a good, hard fought, exciting game.

The Giants won 41-0 (or as receiver Randy Moss put it, "41-doughnut").

The Vikings looked confused, overmatched, and completely overwhelmed. It was like watching children trying to compete with adults.

This is not the first piece I've done featuring my Giants—back in 1991 the Giants won the superbowl and I created an illustration to celebrate that event.
