DEPICTIONIST

An exploration of personal and professional storytelling through narrative branding.
Illustration piece I did for Pete Beatty (@nocoastoffense) over at The Classical. It’s an honor to do work for some of the best sports writers in the industry.  But I read another notion into Raab’s throwaway line. Sure enough, no one will give a shit about LeBron James in 100 years. The upside of eternity for LeBron, apart from the trust funds he leaves behind for his great-great-grandchildren, is, um, death. But the same thing is true for Cleveland. The sun will crash into the earth, or the planet will cook itself to rid its surface of humans, and the Cleveland-Elyria-Mentor metropolitan statistical area will shuffle off into Bolivian along with everything else. No shame in that, good effort by everyone. Red the rest of the piece here.
