While the NCAA tournament will not be played due to the coronavirus I wanted to illustrate moments and people for anyone to go back and learn more or remind them of better times.
This collection of artworks honors the most inspiring people and moments that had an impact on me.

In honor of the 2020 All-Star Game in Chicago, we're releasing a limited edition souvenir tee. Inspired by nightlife in Chicago and the celebration of the entire basketball industry. The games are always the afterthought. We've been coming to All-Star Weekend to shake hands, attend events and party 'til the sun comes up. If you can't be there, you can always pick up this tee as a consolation.

When I first moved to New York, I’d walk through Canal Street & its corresponding alleys just to check out the latest fashion and sneaker bootlegs, mixtapes and overall energy. I was always excited to see what the bootleggers would dream up without corporate restrictions. These were designs truly ahead of their time. So, when presented with the opportunity to create a 4-piece show at Canal Street Market, I wanted to reimagine what a basketball club would look like if it were inspired by my earliest memories and explorations of Canal Street. If you’re in NY, please go check it out.

TROPHY HUNTING®️ is a brand about inspiration & aspiration. Some of the best advice I’ve been given about achieving goals, is to “say it out loud”. Hold yourself accountable for the challenge. Once you say it and people hear it, you’re either a “dreamer” or a “doer”. It’s great to have dreams, but it’s even better to achieve them. Every day I wake up in search of my personal trophies. The journey/process to achievement is what drives me everyday to create. I’m Thankful for everyone that I’ve worked along side and inspired me, challenged me to do better. To anyone that wears my clothes, products, appreciates my art & illustrations or follows my work in any capacity, I appreciate you. Always remember, the act of hunting is often the trophy. Shoot your shot. Happy hunting!

Art meets sport in this 5 t-shirt and hoodie offering from Trophy Hunting. For this collection,
Inspiration:
I wanted to bring the 2 things that motivate me and inspire me every day. My work is always centered around the value of success. From gold awards to money in the bank to a new job... When creating for Trophy Hunting, I wanted to make sure that we look at trophies as a representation for winning. Cars, statues in front of sports arenas, money, new toys, a degree… anything that you look to as a symbol for your accomplishment.
Although this shoe will never come out (well, you never know, hint, hint Zion and Jordan Brand), I wanted to show my inspirations on imagining products through my art.
Pen and Pixel, has blinged out album covers since the early 90’s. Most notably Master P & his No Limit Records as well as Juvenile and Cash Money Records. Both from New Orleans. I was alway drawn to these covers. During the rush of southern hip hop artists in the 90’s and early 2000’s pen and pixel was everywhere. There style has inspired a lot of my work in the past.
This shoe was inspired by the Juvenile’s 400 Degreez Album. As a rookie Juvie was as anticipated as they come especially in New Orleans. I wanted to draw the comparison to Zion in the most literal way since that’s how the Pen & Pixel albums were created.

On September 16th I’m launching of a new brand called “Trophy Hunting” with a some of the most creative and smart people I’ve known for a long time. Check the site here to see what it’s all about.
With the initial launch, I wanted to pay homage to what inspired me the most to do what I do today. Oracle Arena was home of the Warriors for my entire life. The teams, the fans and even the building gave this team it’s legendary character that was definitely influenced by the surroundings of the East Bay.
For this launch we created a street memorial with details that help tell a romantic story about the teams move to SF. Just like most of my work, the every inch of this was designed. From the flowers to the memorabilia. But best of all the product is 2nd to none.
Kyle Lowry brought the Larry O’Brien trophy to North PHILLY.
I created the art based on his journey from the Cecil B. Moore Rec Center to the @nba championship.
The art was used on signage and T-shirts for a charity event at the Rec Center. More info here:
A custom hoodie created for a friend. Soon I will be creating custom hoodies for sale. Stay tuned.
This is a project I originally released in 2010. The concept of this hat is to challenge “inspiration” vs. “plagiarism”. Too often do brands/designers/creators lean on calling their work inspired. This work from afar is to appear as a high fashion label but when you see it up close it reveals multiple tonal embroideries that let you know it’s not “real”
Edition of 20 pcs
