Artist's Comments

From "the Lebrons" series of All Star Vinyl's i worked on at Upper Deck, Mark Irwin Art Directed. this was the 8th or 9th design out of the eventual 30 something i did, still working out how to color at this point so not entirely happy, wish it popped a bit more. the Nike ad campaign this was part of had Lebron James acting in skits with 4 different versions of himself (like the barber shop scenes Eddie Murphy did in "Coming to America"). at one point Kid Lebron was sort of meditating with these biscuits in his hand at the dinner table, funny in the commercial, but not easy to sell in a drawing if the audience doesn't know the reference. was happy to go along with that prop request tho, cause the headphones are so neat in the final sculpt.
