Sharpie, the world’s most popular family of permanent markers made by Sanford, is proud to welcome Sam Bass, the first officially licensed artist of NASCAR, as its guest on May 2 from 10:00am to 12:00noon (Booth No. 1808) at the National Art Materials Trade Association (NAMTA) annual convention held at the Hyatt Regency Chicago May 1 – May 3. Bass will be showcasing his works and autographing fine art posters of his latest creation, a piece depicting one of NASCAR’s “young guns” – Sharpie sponsored driver, Kurt Busch (#97 Ford). For more than 20 years, Bass has been immortalizing the legends of NASCAR with his realistic illustrations using Sharpie markers and his watercolor originals. From the late Dale Earnhardt to Jeff Gordon to Kurt Busch, Bass has captured the personalities that catapulted NASCAR into the fastest growing spectator sport in the United States.( Sam Bass PR ), see full PR on my Collectibles Links and News page .(4-25-2003)
