The Kobe's Art for the Art of Kobe (for Bleacher Report)

Aug 31

Bleacher Report is probably the hottest internet destination for sports fans. The guys from California have developed a social platform for sports lovers in the US and around the world. So when they asked me to participate in the launch of their new Bleacher Report's LAB, I couldn't be happier. Especially when I read that brief asking me to create a portrait of Kobe Bryant for his birthday. It's called "The Art of Kobe". 8 illustrators for Mr.8 and his 88 points in a game record. When? On August 23rd, Kobe's birthday.

Kobe Bryant was born on 23 August 1978. This was the portrait for the launch of Bleacher Report's Lab. See the later Mamba Forever tribute.
