New York-based artist Austin Natale has created a stunning portrait of Alex Ovechkin and his son Sergei. The image is from the Capitals’ pregame ceremony celebrating Ovechkin scoring 700 goals.
Using Micro pens, Austin filled in Ovi and Sergei with tens of thousands of dots. According to Austin, “the portrait took like eight hours a day for two weeks – give or take.”

The portrait was commissioned through Fresh Tape Media for the Capitals.
