Illustrator Patrick Welsh created five portraits of famous UC Berkeley alumni who made the jump from sports to Hollywood for the Cal Alumni Association. Pat’s work accompanies the article “They Came, They Played, They Got an Agent,” for the Cal State alumni publication, California. His work is powerful in its simplicity, providing both a portrait combined with the athlete in action. His work provides context and energy for an otherwise straightforward article on athletes like Solomon Hughes and Marshawn Lynch, who are pursuing dreams beyond the sport that put them on the Cal State map.
