Artist Daniel A. Moore has been documenting great moments in sports on canvas since 1979, when he released his first limited edition fine art print entitled, "The Goal Line Stand". The painting commemorated Alabama's great defensive stand against Penn State in the Sugar Bowl to clinch the 1978 National Championship. These prints quickly became collectors' items and have appreciated by well over 5000% in value, currently selling for upwards of $2500 each on the secondary market.
Mr. Moore has been commisioned to create paintings for the SEC, MLB, NFL, NBA, USGA, PGA, the Sugar Bowl, the Outback Bowl, the Citrus Bowl and the Liberty Bowl, as well as numerous universities. His original works are proudly owned and displayed by museums, corporations and private collections and his artwork is familiar to millions of people across the nation.
In addition, Mr. Moore's talents were sought after by the United States Postal Service, commisioning him to create the paintings for the 1997 "Legendary Football Coaches" commemorative stamp series. These handsome stamps feature, Vince Lombardi, "Bear" Bryant, George Halas and "Pop" Warner.
Two years ago, Mr. Moore received the prestigious international honor of being named 2005 Sport Artist of the Year by the United States Sports Academy. The academy recently selected Leroy Neiman as the 2007 Sport Artist of the Year.
To date, two hard bound books have been published featuring the artwork of Daniel A. Moore. The most recent of these, "Iron Bowl Gold", features 41 watercolor paintings that document the golden years of the great Alabama-Auburn gridiron rivalry. The book is a collaborative effort by the artist, legendary announcer Keith Jackson and "The Birmingham News."
