The American sports painter Leroy Neiman is best known for his brilliant colors and his frenetic energy. Born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, probably in 1927 (though some sources say 1921), he and his mother were abandoned by his father at an early age, so growing up was difficult. He studied art in Chicago, and when Playboy got its start in 1953, Neiman's career took off. Playboy has featured many of his sports and leisure paintings over the years, and he now grosses more than $10 million a year for his paintings and serigraphs. His original paintings go for up to $500,000 each. Here are some splendid examples of his sports art. from football to the Olympics.

    And I hear now that what Elvis sings is the same song as I heared when I was a little girl and The Texas Rangers were on tv! Yes, that is a very long time ago: there were only black-white tv-programs.

    But John is also a very long time on this earth and God give him and his wife a long, healthy and wonderful life, because he makes life wonderful for us...

I enjoy it as much as we all do until now, as if we are watching a great show on tv, or live, YMCA, yes! waaw, Goooooood! Even Elvis is here and lives forever in John's videos! He sings the Anthem of Texas!!!! I cannot stop writing but I have to stop, thank you John!!!
