Few phrases carry the weight, unity, and tradition of “We Are.” In this bold and minimalist piece of Penn State wall art, artist Tom Mosser transforms the iconic chant into a striking visual statement—created using an actual Penn State football.

Using his signature Football Impressionism technique, Tom applies the football directly to the surface, allowing the game itself to shape the art. As the ball is pressed, rolled, and worked across the canvas, its physical details become permanently embedded in the composition. Look closely and you’ll find authentic football textures throughout the letters: dimples, seams, laces, subtle impressions of the Penn State logo from the ball, and even the air-pump hole—all visible beneath the paint.

These marks aren’t decorative additions; they’re the natural result of the process. The football leaves its history behind, infusing the piece with the grit, energy, and tradition of Penn State football. The result is a simple yet powerful design that feels both contemporary and deeply rooted in Happy Valley.

This original art form has been commissioned for NFL stadiums and NBA arenas nationwide through stadium curator Sports & the Arts, and the Penn State edition draws from that same professional pedigree—bringing large-scale sports art sensibility into a refined, collectible format.

Each print is hand-embellished and signed by Tom, ensuring no two are exactly alike. It’s a one-of-a-kind piece created for Penn State alumni, students, and fans who want authentic, museum-quality Penn State football artwork that speaks volumes without saying much at all.

Select prints are also available in person at The Student Book Store, The Family Clothesline, and The Old Main Frame Shop in State College, Pennsylvania—right in the heart of Happy Valley
