Bleacher Report illustrations and tributes

Bleacher Report asked us for portraits and tributes for its sports audience, from NBA Finals stars to Kobe and Gianna Bryant. Each starts from an occasion, a birthday, a record or a farewell, and answers it with an algorithmic mosaic built from the subject’s own world. Several were published on Bleacher Report’s social channels.
