Chris Tucci is a hockey fan.  Not just of his home team, the Philadelphia Flyers, but of the sport of hockey and its long, colorful history.

If he is not playing hockey, he is reading about it or watching a game on TV or incessantly talking hockey with friends, co-workers and teamates.  

And when he is not engaged in any of those activities (or in the dog house with his wife because of them), he draws hockey.

In no way does Chris consider himself to be an "artist" (he is  a computer support guy by trade), he just loves the challenge of trying to capture the energy and history of the game with basic pen and ink, especially the colorful history of Philly's beloved  "Broad Street Bullies".  

Chris has always had the ability to draw since childhood, but only recently has his longtime interest in the game sparked a new desire to draw again.  In 2006, Chris won the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame art competition and was profiled in the Courier Post newspaper.

As the time to hang up the skates for good draws closer, Chris has come full circle to realize the joy that the game of hockey has provided throughout the years.  He hopes to continue his involvement and interest in hockey by memorializing the greatest players and moments through his artwork.

About the drawing style...

Chris uses a very "low-tech" drawing technique called "stippling".  Basically, you take a piece of heavy art paper, sketch out a rough drawing in pencil and then shade it in with a million dots using a super fine, Koh-I-Noor technical pen.   

A close up section of one of his drawings to the left shows the technique in more detail.  When the technique is done in color, it is referred to as pointillism. 

As you might guess, the technique is very tedious and not for those who like immediate gratification.  However, the results it yields are very pleasing to the eye.  The final drawing has almost a silvery look to it.
