Man creates epic "history" of football illustration, iconic Bills moment front and center

Lots of NFL and NCAA history in this illustration, as well as a couple movie references. Nice little trip down memory lane.

 

Of the Bills ones, there's Wide Right, Bruce Smith SI cover photo, Don Beebe landing on his head (but not him chasing down Leon Lett), Sammy Watkins' premature TD celebration against NYJ, and a fan with a Brady sign.

 

I didn't find the Music City forward pass, or any sex toys...

 

Here's a link to the artists page: http://www.roundheadillustration.com/

Good find, DPG!

 

For a Brit and avid soccer fan, the artist (Alex Bennett) puts a lot of American football knowledge into one illustration.  

 

It's very cool except that the Bills captured memories are mostly unhappy ones.

Yeah id imagine most iconic NFL moments involving the bills are bad ones.

Yeah. Bottom left corner is Wycheck tossing it to Dyson.

 

They must have Beebe stripping Leo Lett somewhere too i would think.

There's an OJ cameo in the upper left as well.

Check out his page. There's several other illistrations, including Soccer, although the images are snipetts.

The Brady sign rules

 

I was looking for "Kelly is God" and "Batavia Part Zone" signs, but the Brady sign will suffice. No Bills Elvis or Chef guys either. Elvis guy was in Madden though

What's the iconic story behind the topless chick in the upper left corner?  

It's whipped cream and cherries, not just straight topless, and it's a scene in the movie Varsity Blues. The picture itself isn't limited to just the NFL, there's some college football and pop-culture items depicted as well.

Yes it says american football not pro in the title so I assume it covers all areas like you said.

Man, I thought Beebe was dead or at the very least paralyzed. One of the most underrated Bills.

 

Saw him in a charity basketball game where the Bills would play against local teachers associations. Guy threw himself an alley-oop and dunked home. Crazy.
