Sportini

The Sportini is an Ana Inciardi mini print that reimagines the classic martini glass through a sports-themed lens. In the drawing, a stemmed cocktail glass holds what appears to be a basketball submerged in clear liquid, while a soccer ball rests on the rim as a garnish, skewered alongside a green olive on a cocktail pick. The color palette is restrained, with the soccer ball rendered in black and white, the basketball in warm brown and orange, and the olive in muted yellow-green, all set against a soft gray background. The title "Sportini" is handwritten in the lower left corner, with "ANA INC" noted in the lower right. The martini is one of the most iconic cocktails in American drinking culture, and its visual shorthand, a wide-mouthed stemmed glass with an olive, has been remixed in art and design for decades. Inciardi taps into that familiar image and redirects it through athletic humor. This print fits naturally among Inciardi's food and drink subjects, sitting comfortably alongside her other playful takes on cocktails, snacks, and culinary life. Collectors drawn to her work often appreciate how she finds an unexpected angle on familiar objects, and the wordplay in Sportini adds a layer of wit that appeals to both sports fans and cocktail enthusiasts. It pairs well with her other food prints, making it a natural addition to a kitchen or bar-themed grouping within a collection.
