Meet the DC Sports Artist

Today we want to take a chance to bring some attention to a local sports artist in the DC area. The man we speak of is Paul Nichols, or the “DC Sports Artist as he calls himself on Twitter.

Paul got his start doing sports art back in 2008 when he did a big Alex Ovechkin caricature and it just took off from there. Nichols is known for doing sketches during games, often giving the pieces away to his followers. He donated four pieces of Capitols caricatures to the Green Turtle down at the Verizon Center. The four pieces are hanging directly behind the bar at the Green Turtle right when you walk in.

Nichols has found that interest in his Redskins art-work far outweighs anything he’s seen with his Caps and Nationals stuff.

Here are a couple of his Redskins pieces
