Sports illustrated through art

St. Petersburg, Fla. -- Justyn Farano had a childhood dream to play professional baseball. While that hope fell short after an injury at the University of Tampa, his baseball passion continues on canvas.

Justyn created Sports Art Illustrated and now paints a who's who of professional athletes. While baseball is his expertise, his big break came with a painting of Tiger Woods.

His paintings include Muhammad Ali, Michael Jordan, and Peyton Manning. His collection included autographed pieces that are sold through Justyn's company, but he also does painting to help athletes' charities.

Justyn is the official artist of the Ted Williams Museum at Tropicana Field, and two of his paintings are on display.
