Mitch Kawell
My name is Mitchell Kawell, I am a die-hard Jaguars fan that specializes in portrait art of athletes! I mainly do custom wearable art such as jackets, jerseys, and shoes/cleats but also love to paint on canvas and create murals. Each piece I do is 1 of 1 for individual clients and I love the idea that no 2 pieces will be the same. I think one of my favorite parts of doing art is that I have been able to work with multiple charities across the country with my most common work being here in Jacksonville. What originally started as a fun hobby turned into my (nearly) full time job to go along with my adventures as a travel cardiac nurse. I have done work for numerous players, their families, and fans across the league for wearable game day gear and I think it is awesome to be able to make fans feel as special as players with unique, colorful clothing! I am also on the pursuit of seeing the Jaguars play at every stadium in the NFL and am just about halfway through, so feel free to say hi to me in any city you find me in!
