"He picked the image by the way, and my time that I spent with him is absolutely priceless."
This week brings artist Bruce Sulzberg to the show to talk about his experience working with and painting Rafael Nadal. A child prodigy, Sulzberg has spend decades developing a unique 3D painting technique, and brings to life athletes like Lebron James, Prince Fielder, Muhammad Ali, and tennis' own King of Clay.
A junior and college player himself, Sulzberg understands the lifestyle, work ethic and mentality of athletes, and isn't fazed by the superstars he works with. He sought out Nadal's team and made an adventurous (and costly) trip to Spain to pitch his vision in person. After wowing Nadal, "VAMOS!" came to life based on a photo of the Spaniard from the 2014 French Open.
