Fitzpatrick unveils 'Game Night'

By: Jimmy Robertson

Eric Fitzpatrick, a Roanoke artist and 1975 graduate of Tech, unveiled his second football-themed drawing of a Hokie game, debuting “Game Night” at the Roanoke Valley Hokie Club’s first annual football kickoff dinner held at the Hotel Roanoke on July 29.

“Game Night,” a Fitzpatrick drawing that captures the details, lighting and colors from a Tech night football game, joins “Game Day,” a drawing he did last summer to capture the details of a day football game. Fitzpatrick had “Game Day” professionally photographed and made into a print and then sold it through the Alumni Association. He is doing the same with “Game Night.”

Both pieces, shown on this page along with the key of what each displays, can be purchased through the Alumni Association Web site at http://www.alumni.vt.edu/merchandise/index.html.
