A Passion for Running

Welcome to the home of Mark aka The Running Blogfather – a 40 year-old dad, husband and marathon runner who’s beaten injury and is on the comeback trail!

fantastic piece of running art

I wish I could remember where I found this or who the artist is but it’s been sitting on my hard drive for quite a while and today just seemed like the right moment to share it.

I’d love to use it in a blog template but it seems like the proper thing to do would be to at least get the artist’s permission and credit him or her right?

Anyway, isn’t it swell?

Until you start trying to turn a buck, I say use it until the artist says otherwise.

Very cool artwork. It looks like the guy who is always way ahead of me in the out and back races – he’s going back. I’m still going out.

Hi Mark! It is amazing art, and if you want to know the artist, contact the walk-through art gallery at the U of A Hospital. Two or so years ago, they had a fitness-based exhibit, and I know I saw this there. I absolutely remember it, because a lady walking through the exhibit just before me, exclaimed to her husband that she could see Popeye’s face in the runner’s face (?!?!?). I sat there like a dummy searching for that like it was “Where is Waldo?” and could never see it. Good luck!

Bummer.

I found this image using Google because I had an entry on 43things.com regarding artwork and running
[read it if interested]
I didn’t have anything of my own to use and this image was by far the best to illustrate my point.

I’m going to _try_ to find out who the artist is but…if anyone finds out before hearing back from me, please email me so that I too can give credit where credit is due.

Thanks.
Robert
