Hi Sportsfans,

​

I want to thank you for visiting my art page. I am Todd Keiser, a sports artist from Yutan, Nebraska — a small town that taught me the value of hard work, grit, and community. Growing up, I lived and breathed sports. I played baseball, football, basketball, and track, but baseball stole my heart early on. Competition runs through my veins, and I’ve always loved the challenge of pushing myself and being part of a team. Win or lose, it was the grind, the effort, and the bond with teammates that made it all worth it.

When the dream of playing ball didn’t pan out, I found another brotherhood — the United States Marine Corps. Which has been a fun ride and I wouldn't change a thing.  

Art has been a lifelong passion that’s traveled every step of my journey. As a kid, we didn’t have phones or tablets - just crayons, pencils, and imagination. I spent countless hours drawing for family and friends. A huge shoutout goes to my small-town art teacher, Miss Meese, who taught me from third grade all the way through my senior year. Her encouragement and dedication helped spark the artistic fire that still drives me today.

Being from Nebraska, I’m a die-hard Cornhuskers fan. My Dad took me to my first Husker game in 95 where we watched the boys in red dominate Iowa State. I still remember letting that first red balloon fly. — GO BIG RED! My NFL team is the Detroit Lions, thanks to my childhood favorite, Barry Sanders. And when it comes to baseball, I’ve always rooted for the New York Yankees. As a kid who loved to draw athletes, especially baseball players, the Yankees’ rich history and legendary icons like Babe Ruth made a huge impression on me and fueled my passion for sports art.

Today, I’m still proudly serving on active duty in the United States Marine Corps, closing in on my 20-year mark and planning to finish strong with another three years before retirement. While I’m not a full-time artist yet, art remains my outlet and passion. It’s where I channel my creativity, my love for sports, and the same focus and drive that have carried me through my military career.

Now, as I enter the final stretch of my service, I’m putting together a three-year plan to grow my art brand, share my work with the world, and build a foundation for life after the Marines — one that combines my love for sports, art, and family. My ultimate goal is to transition into being a full-time sports artist while coaching my kids through their high school athletic careers, passing on the same values of dedication, teamwork, and heart that have guided me all along.
