Description Here's the cover to this month's ESPN RISE Magazine! Had a lot of fun drawing these series of illustrations as they gave me a whole bunch of creative freedom to do whatever I wanted with these athletes!

This you see here is Michael Gilchrist, top highschool prospect out of St. Patrick, NJ. I'm a huge fan of Basketball so this was doubly sweet. What kinda cool things to add to him? Pssh, of course extend-able limbs and badass kicks, what else?!

If you've got this in hand, HIGH FIVE!

Thank you once again to Fabian "Monk" Schlaga for the crazy digital collab, the man is on FIRE!

I have to be honest, I haven't been interested in baskeball since I was like 10, but this makes me want to see what this kid is working with! I kind of want to arm wrestle him too.
