"Takin' Care Of Business"

Mike Ditka

Mike Ditka’s Bears reflected their coach: direct, demanding, and difficult to intimidate. A Hall of Fame tight end before his coaching career, Ditka returned to Chicago and led the team to victory in Super Bowl XX. His presence on the sideline became part of the identity of an era that still holds a special place in Bears history.

Justyn Farano’s “Takin’ Care Of Business” captures the familiar coach in his Bears sweater and jacket, sunglasses shielding his expression. Warm bronze tones and the team’s bear emblem frame the portrait without softening its authority. The composition gives Ditka the stillness of a man assessing what needs to happen next, honoring the force of personality behind one of Chicago’s most memorable football teams.

The philosophy behind my art has always been to make the most compelling, engaging experience for you, the viewer. I try to envision what it was like to compete against that athlete on the field. I want you to feel that grit and rawness of emotion, the athlete’s competitive fire, and passion.

As a perfectionist, my obsession of getting these details precise, takes razor focus, constant critiquing, and fine tuning. It’s not till the painting is complete to my highest of standard, till I am genuinely satisfied.
