These paintings draw inspiration from ‘Casa de McDowell’s’, an earlier painting featuring similar plaid couch and outfits. Being Basketball Hall of Famers, Walt Frazier & Julius Erving not only deserve to be recognised for their skills on the court but for the way they dress as well. Painted in the colours of their most notable teams, the New York Knicks and former New York Nets, both players are pictures in plaid outfits and sofas to reflect on their vibrant style. Both paintings clearly show a resemblance to the plaid series. However, these works are more personal as both people pictured have had a great influence on the artist in terms of confidence and ways of dressing.
