Praise for Muellers work from NFL greats:

I was introduced to Bob Muellers artwork through his series of greeting cards based on my playing days with the 1960s & 70s Chicago Bears. He told me his story of how my NFL football career had inspired him to "rediscover" his artistic passion and his desire to paint my image.
I'm pleased to recommend his work to you, as he is truly dedicated to his craftand wish him every success with his opening show.

Sincerely,
Dick Butkus
