ESPN commissioned me to illustrate their football stats section during NFL regular season. That means 3 illustrations every week (just a couple of days deadline!) telling stories for each game or player.
The result of this challenging and extremely fun project is 60 illustrations and "action" portraits from kick-off to SuperBowl. Art Direction by Chin Wang and Christopher Delisle.
Here are are some of my favourites with links to the published pieces and my process at the end...enjoy!
Pats vs. Ravens, a classic rivalry
Other "action" Portraits and spot illustrations
Featuring some of the most iconic players and moments : "Megatron" Johnson, Gronkowski, "Beast Mode" Lynch, the impossible catch of Beckham Jr....so much fun drawing this guys.
