There's a wave of momentum rolling right now for one artist from East Palestine.
After all, art is what brought Scott and Tempy Moore together in the first place.
“We met in art school. She was in my class. I was a cartoon drawing guy and she was more of a photo realist drawer,” said Scott.
It was actually a Christmas gift though, that unintentionally launched a whole career.
“I drew Myron Cope and he was holding a terrible towel and I did that for Christmas for him in 2009, I think. So that's really where it started,” said Tempy.
That sketch still hangs in their living room alongside many other pieces that followed, but as a couple they had to put in the work to get her work out there.
“I went around and I was trying to find someone to help her get her work out there. We got laughed at. We got laughed at by everybody. They were like 'no way, no thanks,' blah blah blah,” said Scott. “No one was going to help us. No one. So the only one you can believe in is yourself.”
They hit the road, getting Tempy's work in front of as many people as they could. One connection led to another, then another.
She's now done multiple charity projects, working with Ben Roethlisberger's foundation and as one of three artists with the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.
“It gives my work purpose honestly. If I were to just draw a picture of somebody locally and just hang it on my wall, what good would it do? So for me to be able to help raise money for some of the charities in the Pittsburgh area, or even in Ohio or West Virginia. I'm not biased,” said Tempy.
That work opened the door to another opportunity.
This month, Wendell August Forge is launching a series of keepsake coasters featuring four Pittsburgh Penguins players; artwork designed by Tempy Moore.
If you follow NBC Sports on social media, you've actually already seen her work. Just a week ago, they shared an image of her artwork on a game-used hockey visor. That's part of the next step for her, putting her artwork on things like hockey pucks.
The Penguins gave them several items to experiment with, trying to find something that would work.
“They were asking us, 'Is there any way you can think of a way that we could turn that into artwork?',” said Scott.
“Everybody wants one of a kind, you know what I mean? Nobody wants one of a hundred. To create something like that, that's pretty awesome,” said Tempy.
So the evolution continues, but the momentum has only just begun.
Tempy Moore will work on a piece live at the Penguins game next Thursday, October 10th as part of the 10th anniversary celebration of the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation.
Her prints to raise money for the Ben Roethlisberger Foundation are available on her website at TempyMoore.com, where you can also learn more about her work.
At the moment, she is working on a series of nine pieces for a sports bar that will be opening soon, featuring iconic moments from nine different sports.
Scott and Tempy are expecting to go back to Germany for a second time next year as well to meet with Steelers fans overseas.

Tempy graduated from East Palestine High School, but now resides with her husband and children in Weirton, West Virginia.
