“Nittany Nation” by artist Steve Szynal
Price range: $200.00 through $4,700.00
Original one-of-a-kind multi-dimensional collage, hand-cut and assembled with mixed media.
There could not be a more appropriate artistic technique than the multilevel, hand cut, mixed media print employed by Steve Szynal (pronounced shin-nél) to capture the glamour and excitement of the many facets of life depicted in his art.
Szynal uses as many as seven layers, not just two or three as other artists use, to create a superior effect in this exciting art form. Each work is meticulously hand-cut and assembled by the artist himself with a supreme dedication to detail.
Steve Szynal graduated from Penn State University in 1987 with a five year professional degree in Architecture. He has become a licensed architect, and owns a successful lighting design firm; both which he draws upon in his art and design. His exceptional talent and technique have given new meaning to 3-D art, as visually exciting, fun, and collectable.

Nittany Lion Mascot by Minimalist Artist S. Preston is a digital print enhanced on matte paper. All art posters measure 11×17 in size. Framing options are available in mahogany, walnut, or black.
About the print:
The Nittany Lion traces its origins to 1907 graduate Harrison D. “Joe” Mason. Before a baseball game against Princeton in 1904, Mason and other members of the University’s baseball team were shown a statue of Princeton’s Bengal tiger, which the Princeton students claimed was “the fiercest beast of them all.”
In recalling the moment four decades later at the Nittany Lion Shrine dedication, Mason said, “An idea came to me, and I replied, ‘Well, up at Penn State we have Mount Nittany right on our campus, where rules the Nittany Mountain Lion, who has never been beaten in a fair fight.’”
In the coming decades, the Nittany Lion evolved to become “the symbol of Penn State’s best,” appearing not only at athletic events, but at celebrations, fundraisers and outreach efforts on campus and in the local community. In June of 2019, Penn State’s Nittany Lion was officially inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame on June 16 in Whiting, Indiana.
The Nittany Lion was one of four mascots enshrined over the weekend, including Tommy Hawk from the National Hockey League’s Chicago Blackhawk, Benny the Bull from the National Basketball Association’s Chicago Bulls and Sluggerrr from Major League Baseball’s Kansas City Royals.

Throughout the growth and changes, the iconic sites can always rekindle a memory, a laugh and even a friendship. We Are…”
