COLUMBUS, Ohio — Residents of the tri-state and surrounding areas have channeled their Bengal pride into creative works of art.

Jesse Stanley owns a window washing business in the Columbus area. When not at his day job, Stanley creates custom designs of past and present sports personalities.

Stanley created figures of Paul Brown, Luke Fickell, Ken Anderson and more. He even caught the eye of Bengals legend Willie Anderson and Deion Sanders Jr., the son of the current Jackson State University coach.

When he started 10 years ago, Stanley said he bought action figures from stores and repainted them however he wanted. Now he’s capturing iconic Bengals moments like Evan McPherson’s overtime field goal to clinch the AFC win and send them to the Super Bowl.

He already has an idea in mind for his next figurine.

“Hopefully I can do a Joe terrier holding the Lombardi Trophy once it’s all said and done,” Stanley said. “Ask him to hold it or something.”

Stanley is an autodidact in 3D printing and all his figurines are unique. Anyone interested in a figure can message Stanley through their accounts on Twitter or Instagram.
