Travis Kelce Painting — Kansas City Chiefs Art | Deecor

Travis Kelce Painting

A Travis Kelce painting by Deante "Deecor" Howard — Kansas City Chiefs tight end, #87, painted in Deecor's signature elevated graffiti style. Bold, vivid color, splatters and drips breaking over and around a semi-realistic subject. One of one. Painted by hand. Never printed and passed off as an original.

Travis Kelce painting, CHAMPIONS KELCE original 24x36 by Deante Howard

Deecor's Kelce piece is titled "CHAMPIONS – KELCE." It is a 24×36 original: a large portrait of Kelce's face in the white Chiefs jersey, with smaller action vignettes of him in #87 catching the ball, and the Super Bowl LVII logo. The painting went to the gallery at $2,800. It is a stylized painting in Deecor's own style — not an official logo copy, not a print passed off as an original.

Most Travis Kelce art for sale online is a cheap print — $20 posters, $40 canvas prints. This is the opposite of that: a hand-painted original, one of one, by a Kansas City artist who paints Chiefs players from the city they play in.

Travis Kelce Painting — Prices and Sizes

Painted commissions start at $1,000, with a 50% deposit that locks your spot. The "CHAMPIONS – KELCE" original is 24×36, gallery price $2,800 — priced above a single-figure original because it is a multi-figure collage, not one portrait.

  • Custom commission painting, 24×36 — $2,400 to $2,800. The most popular size. One athlete, one of one, custom tailored to you, never copied. A Kelce commission in this size is painted for you, in the pose and uniform you choose.
  • Custom commission painting, 36×48 — $3,840 to $5,200. Large, statement pieces for a game room, office, or collection.
  • Made-to-order originals — from $2,400. Painted once, for one collector, and never painted again. Originals are priced at the low end of the commission range for the same size, because Deecor can make prints of an original design — a commission is never copied.
  • Prints start at $60.

Tell Deecor the athlete and the moment you want, and he will confirm the size and price that fits. Shipping is $7, free at $100 and over in the US. Canvas originals take about 3–5 business days; made-to-order originals take 5–7 business days.

How a Travis Kelce Painting Works

  1. The idea. Tell Deecor the athlete and the moment you want. That decides what size and what kind of piece fits, and where you land in line — slots are limited.
  2. The idea. Kelce catching, Kelce celebrating, Kelce in the white jersey or the red — or a moment you choose, including Kelce alongside Mahomes.
  3. The drawing. Deecor draws it first and you approve the drawing before any paint touches canvas. The finished painting matches the approved drawing 90–95%.
  4. The painting. Painted by hand, one of one, in his elevated graffiti style. 50% deposit locks your spot; the deposit is non-refundable once painting begins.
  5. Delivery. Shipped across the US, tracked, or picked up locally in the Kansas City area.

In 2021, while still working my job in Medicare insurance, I decided to give art a real shot — selling my work on the side. The response was immediate. People weren't just buying paintings; they were connecting with them.

God’s hand was in motion

In 2022, God moved again — I was laid off. Instead of despairing, I took it as the blessing it was and gave my art everything I had. Commissions came. Media features followed.

But the accolades were never the point. My true motivation is spreading joy, inspiration, encouragement, and hope through my paintings. Every stroke carries resilience and determination — the same two things that carried me. My motto is simple: the hustle will make the dream the reality. That's why I continue to create today.

The Name

I'm an artist in every sense of the word — music, dance, acting, poetry. I love to play on words. People call me Dee, and the core of a person is the heart. Art made to live on your walls is called décor. Put them together and you get Deecor — because in every piece, I give you something from my core: artwork from my heart, for your walls.

The style has a name, too — I coined it elevated graffiti. It's the city's graffiti grown up: the same bold color, splatters, and drips, but painted slow, with purpose and detail, to live in homes and galleries. Chaos mixed with order — because that's what life is, and that's what resilience looks like.
