MUSTACHE WEDNESDAY: LEROY NEIMAN

Our Mustache Wednesday pick: sports artist Leroy Neiman.

He is not smoking his mustache, by the way, though if he could grow a smokable mustache that would place him at the top of the Mustache Wednesday pantheon. (HT: Worst Fan.)

If I ever saw that in my pool I’d have to drain it.

It’s actually not a mustache. It’s an eyebrow graft that went horribly, horribly wrong.

Little known fact: he painted all of his work with that mother.

Who wouldn’t want a painting of a football game as seen through throught the eyes of someone who had several hits of strong acid?

This must be from when we played a home and home with UGA in the 90’s.

Now, if you’re going to go with a total bad-ass that even the Boz would kneel before, I’d go with Caravaggio. Granted, he didn’t paint any football, but he was Perrilloux-esque in his ability to absolutely crush the chances of certain success despite the unbelievable level of talent held in his stache’d face. Gauguin was fairly badass’d too, in a Bobby Petrino kind of way.
