Virgil Oertle has created unique sculptures of all shapes, sizes and for many purposes. In 2013 he began to focus on unique, branded, mascot benches and sitting areas for fans to interact with the sculptures. There was something about his designs that made the tributes a destination point. His concepts perfectly incorporate the story and character of the parent organization, and are an enduring tribute to each of our beloved
masked friends.
