“Nittany Nation” by artist Steve Szynal
$200.00 – $4,600.00
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.

As an artist, Tom Mosser is always looking around for ideas. In the alleyway dumpster near his studio a discarded tire became a paintbrush to get tread marks on his canvas.
“That’s how I ended up painting with balls,” said Mosser, a Pittsburgh-based painter and muralist whose work appears in sports venues across the country. “If you look around and ask, ‘How can I make art in a different way that hasn’t been done before?,’ you start rolling tires or balls across a canvas and you’re creating art.”

About Beaver Stadium:
The original Beaver Field was located on the west side of campus and seated 30,000 fans. Named for James Beaver, President of the Board of Trustees, the Nittany Lions played at the original Beaver Field from 1909 until 1959. In 1960, the original Beaver Field was moved to its current location and renamed Beaver Stadium.
Out of all of the State College fall activities, Penn State Football weekends are the quintessential experience. Rather than being surrounded by parking decks and high-rise buildings, Beaver Stadium, where the Penn State Nittany Lions play, is surrounded by fields. On Penn State Football weekends, those fields turn into some of the largest tailgating fields in the country. Fans pack up grills, coolers and yard games and travel to State College from all over in RVs, vans, SUVs, trucks and cars.
Before every home game is one big Penn State picnic — there’s a reason it made the list of America’s Top 10 College Tailgate Cities. When the football game begins, approximately 107,000 fans can be found dressed in blue and white and cheering on their Nittany Lions. It’s an experience you don’t want to miss — don’t forget to buy tickets and a parking pass in advance.
