This original University of Kansas “KU” logo painting is a one-of-a-kind work of fine art, hand-created by Pittsburgh artist Tom Mosser using an actual Kansas Jayhawks basketball. Rather than traditional brushes, the basketball itself becomes the tool—pressed, rolled, and worked across the canvas to build the image through texture, rhythm, and physical motion.

Up close, the surface reveals the unmistakable marks of the game: basketball pebbling, seams, channel lines, subtle logo transfers, and even traces of the inflation valve. These details aren’t added later—they’re naturally embedded through the process, making each Kansas logo painting completely unique. It’s the sport 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 college programs, NBA arenas, and major sports venues across the country. The Kansas edition carries that same professional pedigree, transforming an iconic Jayhawks symbol into bold, contemporary Kansas 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 Kansas Jayhawks “KU” 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 Kansas alumni, Jayhawks fans, offices, fan caves, and collectors looking for authentic, museum-quality Kansas basketball wall art that goes far beyond traditional merchandise.
