Kansas City area artist enhances Chiefs art display ahead of AFC Championship
Jan 21, 2025
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Sunday, it’s Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs hosting Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills.
"Bill, Chiefs, the greatest rivalry in football. It’s going to happen this weekend. I am so excited. It’s going to be close,” Riverside, Missouri resident, Jeff Parson said.

“Josh Allen is having an amazing year, but it’s Mahomes in Arrowhead and Mahomes is a different animal during the playoffs.”
For some, it’s considered a garage, but for Parson, he says it’s his land of ‘Unfinished Chiefs artwork’.
Every week during the season, he paints big.
Big, as in life-size (or larger) cutouts of players. This week, he’s portraying Kareem Hunt and the Chiefs’ run-game. He’s hoping to have his Hunt addition installed along with the rest of his display (weather-pending) by Red Friday.
"Once Mahomes and Allen get into that rhythm, look out. You are seeing something that you're never going to see this again, especially when Mahomes is playing. Enjoy this era of Chiefs football.”
Parson says when people pass his display, he wants them to remember the moments that make up the view like the scenario, the team and the talent.
“The Chiefs is what brings us together,” Parson said. "That's what I want, for this to mean something to people. Something we can all share.”
Parson works a full-time job and says painting is a full-time hobby.

“I don't have to force myself to paint, and if I don't paint, I get a little crazy. It’s like a release for me ,” Parson said. “At the end of the year, this artwork has its own identity.”
FOX4 has featured his artwork in previous stories, including his Taylor Swift paintings.
“Fingers crossed we are going to go all the way.”
Parson says he’s never met any of the players, but is a huge fan of the magic they create.
