“El Mata-Rose” - Finally finished this joint..kinda rushed through it tonight while watching the Bulls vs Nets Game 7 but I couldn’t slack on this any longer. So anyways, spread it like wildfire if you want. Derrick Rose as the Matador, Joakim Noah as the Bull Full size view recommended

Antonio de Padua C. Neto

Been a minute since I did an artist feature; came across the works of an amazing illustrator this morning, his style actually reminds me of my favorite (Ahmed El-Refaie aka OwaikeO) which is why his stuff caught my eye immediately. That, and as usual, the subject matter usually does the trick (basketball in this case).

I’ve tweeted this before, but I have to mention this again, Brazil has some of the most incredible illustrators in the game, the number of amazing artists I know of from Rio and Sao Paulo is crazy.

Peep his work…

I know the season isn’t over yet, but I think most people can probably pick the winners at this stage the way the season has gone. This is just my take of the award distribution for this year, opinions will likely vary.

The will of one man, carrying the weight of an entire franchise. Kobe Bryant in his 17th season still strong with the force.

I will never get used to sharing my work before its finished but here it is again, a little preview for the blog .Current W.I.P: “El Mata-Rose” - Derrick Rose as a Matador. Illustration is still in the early stages, I have a few more elements I’m going to add (another character..don’t ask me who/what, background etc.). Doing research for this and having a little bit of prior knowledge about bullfighting culture (one my TA’s for a sociology class was Spanish, told me the horrific part about the sport they never show in cartoons…its a fight to the death, man vs bull) I noticed that the clothing and persona of the matadors was real feminine (to me anyways) so that is what I’m trying to get at with this depiction of Rose. Don’t get me wrong, he’s one of my favorite players and is a beast, but I gotta work with the theme, and once I add the other elements it won’t look as disrespectful hopefully (if it does so right now) Aiming to get this done by the end of the week so I can get started on the other projects lined up (few more NBA pieces).
