Philly Special
Mixed Media Dimensional Wall Commission
Wood, Plexiglass, Vinyl, Glitter, LED Lights, Mounting Brackets
 
Celebrate the spirit of the City of Brotherly Love with “Philly Special,” a vibrant, dimensional mixed-media tribute to Philadelphia’s rich cultural, historical, and sports legacy. Commissioned by a private collector, this one-of-a-kind assemblage features iconic symbols and legends—each crafted with layered wood, radiant plexiglass, hand-applied glitter, and glowing LED accents that bring the city’s energy to life.
 
From Dr. J’s electrifying leap to Nick Foles’ legendary Philly Special catch, this piece captures the unforgettable moments that shaped Philadelphia pride. The Phillie Phanatic embraces joy at center stage, surrounded by visual nods to Wawa, Rita’s Water Ice, Broad Street signs, the Liberty Bell, LOVE Park, Citizens Bank Park, and even a vintage 45 vinyl celebrating the song that cannot be listened to without thinking of Philly "Gonna Fly Now".
 
A collision of sports, history, and street culture, “Philly Special” is more than an artwork—it’s a glowing monument to everything that makes Philly unforgettable.
