So, why draw Costa? Why not. JK’s earlier work “Spirit of a Warrior” features a badass with a Spartan-looking shadow. Turning to Costa, the man has a gladiator fetish and a following. Heck, even his Beard has a following. And, it turns out, Costa’s been looking for a way to satisfy his fans’ hunger for autographs and pictures; so here we are. JK does his thing, Costa takes care of his fans. Win-win.

JK will offer a series of seven drawings, the first of which is available today from JK’s website,www.tacticaldrawings.com, for $45. The remaining six drawings will follow at roughly 3-4 month intervals.

Costa is giving 100 percent of his proceeds to the Stars and Stripes Foundation. JK’s invested his time and talent heavily in this project. He can’t afford to donate 100 percent, so JK’s donating a portion of his proceeds to Stars and Stripes Foundation as well as his church.

I know what you’re thinking: “$45 for a drawing? Of Costa?” These are not shop wall pin-up posters. This is an 18” x 12” water-colored, pencil drawing printed on 100 pound matte paper using a digital press bearing Costa’s digital signature.

Consider all the work that went into the drawing. JK spent 20 hours researching and preparing. He made period-specific props from cardboard and found a gladiator-esque model to guide his representation of the “spirit” warrior. He roped-in Pima County Deputy Sheriff Avery Cox as the model. (As an aside, JK told me, “I feel sorry for any criminal caught by that guy.”) He added some of his own touches to the armor, but the shoulder, arm and shinguards are period-accurate, as is the shield. Russell Crowe fans may recognize the helmet is inspired by the one worn by Roman General Maximus Decimus Meridius in the film, “Gladiator.”
