3ft x 4ft acrylic on canvas depiction of the iconic Duke logo created with a Duke basketball. ($500 30” x 40” are also available)This original Duke University “D” logo painting is a one-of-a-kind work of fine art, hand-created by Pittsburgh artist Tom Mosser using an actual Duke basketball. Rather than traditional brushes, the basketball itself becomes the tool—pressed, rolled, and worked across the canvas to build the image through texture, motion, and physical energy.

Up close, the surface reveals the authentic marks of the game: basketball pebbling, seams, subtle logo transfers from the ball, and traces of real court-driven motion embedded directly into the paint. These details aren’t added later—they’re naturally formed through the process, making each Duke logo painting completely unique. It’s the game quite literally shaping the art.

This piece is part of Tom’s Basketball Impressionism body of work, a technique he has used to create original logo paintings for major college programs and professional sports venues across the country. The Duke edition carries that same professional pedigree, transforming an iconic Blue Devils symbol into bold, contemporary Duke wall art.

The painting is created in acrylic on canvas and ships unmounted and rolled in a protective tube. Tom intentionally leaves extra canvas beyond the listed dimensions, allowing collectors and framers the flexibility to stretch the piece slightly larger if desired.

Each Duke “D” logo painting is custom made, signed by the artist, and created specifically for the collector. Please allow 2–4 weeks for completion and delivery.

This work is ideal for Duke alumni, students, offices, fan caves, and collectors seeking authentic, museum-quality Duke basketball wall art that goes far beyond traditional merchandise.
