GW Area 51, Dick Butkus by Jota Lealis a Limited Edition gallery wrapped mixed media giclee on canvas licensed by both the NFL and NFLPA. This Deacon Jones Foundation art piece is signed and numbered of 125. Jota only paints celebrity portraits and his passion is to paint those whose faces show character and intensity. This painting is called "Area 51'"—a dangerous place where no one in his right mind wishes to go. #51, Pro Football Hall of Fame linebacker for the Chicago Bears, Dick Butkus, was that kind of player, feared by everyone he opposed, and arguably the greatest linebacker ever. He and Deacon used to argue with one another as to which one of them was the meanest player ever, each one calling the other meanest of them all. That argument was never resolved. The first print of this amazing NFL art was sent to Dick Butkus and now hangs proudly in his home. Through an exceptional arrangement with the National Football League, The Deacon Jones Foundation is delighted to be working with a group of artists who have created a dynamic series of limited edition sports art prints featuring the teams and players of the NFL. David D "Deacon" Jones was an American professional football player who was a defensive end in the National Football League for the Los Angeles Rams, San Diego Chargers, and the Washington Redskins. He was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1980. Jones specialized in sacks, a term that he coined. Nicknamed "the Secretary of Defense", Jones is considered one of the greatest defensive players ever. Founded in 1997 by Deacon and Elizabeth Jones, The Deacon Jones Foundation was created to assist young people and the communities in which they live.
