Celebrate Penn State tradition with an original acrylic-on-canvas painting of the iconic Penn State Varsity “S,” created using an actual Penn State football. This bold piece of Penn State wall art is part of Tom Mosser’s signature Football Impressionism series, where the football itself becomes the brush—pressed, rolled, and worked across the surface to build texture, movement, and depth.

Look closely and you’ll discover authentic football details embedded directly into the artwork, including dimple patterns, seams, laces, traces of the Penn State logo from the ball itself, and even the air-pump hole. These marks aren’t added later—they’re the natural result of the game shaping the art, giving the piece a tactile, physical presence that celebrates the grit and energy of Penn State football.

Each Varsity “S” painting is custom made, one of a kind, and hand-created by Tom Mosser, a Penn State graduate. Paintings are shipped un-stretched in a protective tube, with extra canvas left intentionally so the finished size can be slightly larger when mounted or framed locally. Mounted canvas shipping is also available for an additional fee.

Un-stretched canvas and paper works are easily mounted and framed by any professional frame shop.

For original paintings sized 30” x 40” and larger, Tom includes the signed Penn State football used to create the artwork—connecting the final piece directly to the process and making it a true collector’s item.

The result is museum-quality Penn State wall art that resonates with alumni, students, and fans seeking authentic, contemporary Penn State football artwork—built from the game itself.
