BobIwabuchiFan Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 I'm looking for a copy or framed version of the 1987 team poster that was a painted representation of the best College Ice Hockey team of all time....I've seen a few in GF, but always forgot to get information on the artist or the publisher...Any help would be appreciated. Loyal Fighting Sioux Fan! Quote
SiouxTupa Posted March 26, 2006 Posted March 26, 2006 My father is the artist who painted that. I have one hanging in front of me now. I can sure inquire, if you are looking for one. Let me know! 1 Quote

Let me know! That would be great! I believe it was a poster that was published from the painting your father made...Any chance to send a digital picture of the painting so I can confirm? Quote
batting500 Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Iwabuchi...I was in Junior HS, maybe HS at the time he played for UND. As I remember he was very agressive in going FAR out of the net. He is one of my favorite all time players. Any idea where he is today, or what he did after UND? batting 500 Quote
SiouxTupa Posted March 27, 2006 Posted March 27, 2006 Bob Joyce is holding #5, Hrkac is next to him w/o helmet. There is the mob group in the background, and in the right lower corner there is a circle with the 5 championship rings in it. Quote

Sounds like the real deal...Is there anyway to get reproduction prints of this poster from your father? I would be very interested in this if possible... Quote

SiouxTupa Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I'll give him a call today (Tue), and hopefully figure out where the prints are. I'm pretty sure we have some somewhere. I'll PM you when I know. Quote
Ghost of Smith Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 I'm sure if you found a bunch of those posters you wouldn't have a difficult time getting rid of them. Depending on what they are going for I would be interested. Quote
YaneA Posted March 28, 2006 Posted March 28, 2006 It's a great poster! A couple of months ago, I inherited one from a professor who was cleaning out his closet in preparation for retirement and a move. The poster had been glued to cardboard and was a tad wavy from being in the closet for almost 20 years but the good folks at Michael's fixed the "scoliosis," matted it and framed it up real pretty for me. It's hanging in my guest room. Quote

SiouxTupa Posted March 31, 2006 Posted March 31, 2006 After several requests I have decided to post a picture of the framed print that I have hanging in my apartment. It was tought to take with the light the way it was, and having to use a flash. But here it is in any case... Take away the flash, and a dab of paint that my grandmother got on it when painting her garage, and there you have it. Any more questions, feel free to email. I enjoy hearing from fellow Sioux fans!

Going48 Posted April 1, 2006 Posted April 1, 2006 My souviner from the 87 team is the poster put out earlier in the year by the athletic department promoting our four stars for the Hobey. It has individual pictures of Ian Kidd, Ed Belfour, Tony Hrkac & Bob Joyce and then a quite lengthy bio of each one below their picture. Quote
SiouxTupa Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 Hello all! After sending off two prints to BobIwabuchiFan I am happy to report that I have 6 here with me.

BobIwabuchiFan Posted April 7, 2006 Author Posted April 7, 2006 SiouxTupa, Got my prints and man do they look good! I especially like the part where your Dad signs the print and the numbering as well. The prints are currently being framed and expect to have it hanging in my office by April 22nd..I'll send a picture when it happens... Thanks Again! BobIwabuchiFan Quote
SiouxTupa Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 I just received 9 more. 3 are spoken for....so that leaves 6 available. After these 6 are gone, there most likely will be no more. Email or PM with inquiries. Quote
Siouxmama Posted April 19, 2006 Posted April 19, 2006 I picked up a print today and it's great. Bigger than I thought, too. Any fans who think they might want one, I think you shoud get one. They are well worth it. A great addition to my collection of Sioux prints. Patrick Tupa is one talented man. Quote
