Last week I got to do an illustration for Bill Simmons’ annual NBA Trade Value column on Grantland- a recurring article I’ve been reading for the better part of a decade! The Lord of the Rings and the NBA playoffs make for strange bedfellows, but my inner 12 year-old had a lot of fun with the pseudo-comic book feel for this one.
Note: This image is slightly different from the one that went to print. There were a few things I wasn’t totally happy with on deadline day, but you can see the original by clicking the link above.
New illustration for The Classical as part of their fantastic Why We Watch article series- I’m pretty excited about it!
Thanks to David Roth- this was a fun project.
I got such a positive response to my baseball windup series that I decided to apply the same concept to great jump shots. Reggie Miller is, appropriately, the first to bless this ongoing pictorial celebration of the most distinctive shots in NBA history.
Another new piece for The Classical today - a great article by Zac Crain who chronicles the weird, enigmatic and ongoing career of Jerry Stackhouse.
A selection of spot illustrations from a small book I wrote, illustrated and made entitled Southpaw: 25 Compelling Lefties From the World of Sport. The book (along with a selection of associated apparel) can (soon) be purchased through my Etsy store, linked in the left hand navigation. Check it out!
