DRAFTKINGS COURTVISION

While part of the Draftkings NFT Creative Team I was asked to create an entire collection of NFTs for the NBA Playoffs. Each drop had 4 tiers - Base, Night, Gold and Diamond.

This collection was inspired by the creativity that comes with street ball and the graffiti surrounding those courts. My designs are celebrating those pick-up games that last all day into the night as the sun goes down and the lights come on.

Stylistically we wanted to go with a rough, loose, street art-inspired style to bring the vibe and creativity from the courts into the images. With that in mind, I hand-drew every frame in ProCreate opting for spray paint and gritty brushes. Then to get the true graffiti nature across, I created a physical stencil of the Draftkings Crown and sprayed it on paper for an authentic feel.

SPIN DOCTOR

Starting with the lowest and most approachable collection I kept it simple with the concept as well. One of the most basic ways to show you know your game is to be able to spin the ball on your finger without losing control.

This collection sold out entirely within the first hour with the Diamond edition auctioning off for $3,700.

LOVE HANDLES

Once you got em dizzy with the ball it’s time to attack them directly. Quick hands and misdirection will get them on the back of their heels guessing where you’re going next.

The Night editions sold out within the first 2 hours of release going for $420 apiece.

HOPFEST

Now that their off balance and thrown off it’s time to attack the rim and throw down. The climax of a drive and the collection, Hopfest aimed to get the smooth motion of a dunk when nobody is left to guard you anymore.

Another successful Night edition, selling out each $900 collectible.

SPECIAL EDITION PRINTS

LACE EM UP

This special edition print is meant to capture the spirit of the game in one image. The beauty and fun of the game comes down to a ball and sneakers and you’re good to take on the best.

ZOMBIE EDITIONS

The Ankle Breaker and Rim Reaper are the special zombie editions that collectors received when finishing a set.

DAY VS NIGHT

This cinematic final showdown of day games against the impending darkness of night was sent to those who purchased all 6 Day and Night editions.
