3ft × 3ft and 4ft × 4ft | Original Acrylic on Canvas | Created with a Michigan Football

This original University of Michigan “Block M” logo painting is a one-of-a-kind work of fine art, hand-created by Pittsburgh artist Tom Mosser using an actual Michigan football. Instead of traditional brushes, the football itself becomes the tool—pressed, rolled, and worked across the canvas to build the image through texture, motion, and physical impact.

Up close, the surface reveals the authentic marks of the game: football dimples, seams, laces, subtle logo transfers from the ball, and even traces of the air-pump hole. These details aren’t added later—they’re naturally embedded through the process, making each Michigan logo painting completely unique. It’s the sport quite literally shaping the art.

This piece is part of Tom’s Football Impressionism body of work, a technique he has used to create original logo paintings for major college programs, NFL stadiums, and NBA arenas across the country. The Michigan edition carries that same professional pedigree, transforming the iconic Block M into bold, contemporary Michigan 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 Michigan “Block M” 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 University of Michigan alumni, Wolverines fans, offices, fan caves, and collectors looking for authentic, museum-quality Michigan football wall art that goes far beyond traditional merchandise.
