"The System"

"Jake Shuttleworth (Denzel Washington) has spent the last six years in prison after accidentally killing his wife during a violent domestic dispute, leaving his son, star basketball prospect Jesus Shuttleworth (Ray Allen), to fend for himself. One day, the prison warden (Ned Beatty) approaches Jake with an unusual offer: He'll be given a week of parole to convince Jesus to attend the governor's alma mater, with the promise of a shortened sentence if he succeeds." - Google 

My vision behind this painting was to capture the truth in what our culture becomes controlled by which is sports and entertainment. The idea that playing basketball is our only way to become successful or risking out lives while waiting in line to purchase a pair of Michael Jordan's sneakers has truly become our culture standard. I added the name "Jesus" on the back of the jersey instead of his last name "Shuttlesworth" because the powerful meaning the name and I wanted to express that loud and clear to give the painting more verbal action. This painting is my vision and dedication to this film.
