Dylan Cease is a man of many talents.
Typically, he's known for being the Toronto Blue Jays' ace — an integral part of their playoff push and collecting Cy Young recognition along the way. Next week, however, it won't only be his mastery with the baseball on display, but instead his prowess with the paintbrush.
Cease and the Art Gallery of Ontario are launching AGO x Cease, which is a limited-edition merch collection that features Cease's painting Eve of Toronto, available beginning Aug. 25, the gallery announced Friday.
The gallery will also display the painting in person for one hour, with fans having an opportunity to see the art in person and speak to the artist himself.
All proceeds will go to the AGO's charitable mission.
Cease has posted numerous snapshots of his paintings since signing with the Blue Jays in the off-season, including several Toronto-themed pieces. In early August, Cease auctioned off one of his paintings to benefit the Jays Care foundation.
