Rip

Whats up Pistons fans? I'm a writer/illustrator over at Bright Side of the Sun and am currently doing a project where I am doing 30 illustrations (1 player from each of the 30 NBA teams) over 30 days. Day 20 features your own Rip Hamilton (I debated on who I should do and ultimately ended on Rip for his history with the club) and I thought I'd share it with you.

Feel free to visit and check out this and more as well as follow the project. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

Really impressive work—thanks for sharing it with DBB.

This

is fucking awesome. Rec’d. Rip’s history with the team: 90% of his legacy. Rip’s trouble with the team: the 10% we’ll all forget. This image is gracious to his legacy.

F***KING TAYSHAUN ISOLATION.

Thanks

That was my thought in doing Rip – when all is said and done I’m pretty sure he’ll be thought of as someone who’s meant a lot to the Pistons.

He looks so odd without his mask.

yeah,

where’s the mask, man?

by freywagg on Mar 21, 2011 2:34 PM EDT up reply actions  

No mask?

Tay would have looked sweet as well. Lots of patchy hair and inexplicable freckles.
I like your ZBo a lot.

OH

Westbrook looks badass, too.

The ZBO is fantastic and is way and away my favorite.

Your art style reminds me of the front cover of the first King Crimson album.

Great work!

All of your stuff looks fantastic.

This is awesome. I have no concept of how long these take to do, but I think it would be fitting to have one with his mask on.

Just a quick FYI. Limited edition prints are now available for this and every illustration from my ‘Face the NBA’ project.

I’d purchase one of Ben Wallace, for serious.
