My name is Michael Calandra and I am the artist and creator of Famefaces®. In short, I'm in my late twenties and have grown up an avid New York sports fanatic. While creating is my heart, sports in general are my soul and my craft allows me to bring that passion out artistically. I work as a graphic designer by day and I am a big sports enthusiast by night … and my artwork on this site is a direct result of the passion that I have for the game.
Currently I'm working toward getting the permission to sell some of my artwork. Its an ongoing process that will take some time, but it's a goal that I am determined to reach. I also hope to gain some friends in the sports world, build relationships and maybe one day be able to work for a professional sports franchise. In the meantime, I hope anyone who stumbles across my little site finds it interesting. The best thing about creating is the reaction that you bring about in the process and I hope that what I have started here catches your eye and makes you smile.

WHAT IS FAMEFACES?
Aside from looking for work, another goal I have is to make Famefaces® an officially licensed product and sell these prints as lithographs or any other marketable commodity. This is a very complex process that involves various entities, and is more of a long-term goal in the grand scheme of things. Because of licensing issues I can not sell any of my sports art to the general public. I am willing to sell directly to the pro-athletes themselves if that athlete gives me the expressed permission to do so. If you are a pro-athlete and would like to commission me to create a likeness of you, please write me. If you like my work and would like to be able to purchase it in the future as an officially licensed product, please join my mailing list. The more names I have on the list, the higher the demand, which will help speed up the approval process. If you like what you see, you can join the mailing list by clicking here.

Famefaces is currently an online portfolio of my illustration and graphic design work. I designed this site primarily to display my artwork as well as my love for sports. What I’m hoping to do is gain some exposure and market myself to companies or individuals who may be interested in putting my talent to good use. One of my goals is to be commissioned for work in the realm of sports, but I am also available for non-sports oriented projects.
