Everyone's favorite illustrator/personifier of cheesesteak shops, Jim Horwat, is also a huge Phillies fan. He's whipped up a print commemorating the 2008 team's World Championship (click image for larger version). It's just the thing for the sports/local art lover in your life.
While buildings with smiley faces are Horwat's thing, it's oh-so-appropriate here given the city's collective euphoria in the weeks after the Phils won and before Michael Nutter dropped the budget hammer on everyone.
The prints are available for $20 on Jim's site. (hint, hint.)
I can’t decide if the part that says, “Yes, Burrell is missing” is funny or if it makes me sad.
