Excited to say I teamed up with Adidas to design 'Decorate the Game', a Christmas special pack. Our goal was to create fun, whimsical visuals and executions without being cheesy, designed to be worn beyond Christmas. These are printed with color-shifting ink which looks even better in person. The whole pack is available for purchase in Asia and Europe right now (through your contry’s adidas website), including Lillard and Mitchell sweatshirts too, see them on my website.
Happy holidays!

James Harden is washing his hands with soap for at least 20 seconds, as should all of you. Meet 36th portrait of James Harden! Creating this artwork acquired me a rare, unnecessary skill of drawing the foam.
James Harden Illustrated project is on view at Art Basel Miami with sixteen artworks! Momentum, a multi-format exhibition explores the relationship between basketball culture and art. Held from December 5–8 at the historic Nautilus by Arlo hotel in Miami’s South Beach.

This is NBA’s first-ever exhibition, made in collaboration with Franchise and AMP. If you’re in Miami, do not miss!
I had an event with adidas Basketball in Grosbasket store (Zagreb, Croatia) where we unveiled the newest piece in the James Harden Illustrated series. We actually had a curtain reveal! Giant signed Barbershop print is exhibited for one month in store, as well as some other portraits from the series.
Some photos from the event:
Why James Harden doesn’t own a franchise of barbershops? Here’s a logo I made for this perfect business idea, 35th portrait in the series inspired by the barbershop pole.

In 1000 years, after we’re all gone, aliens will dig this skull somewhere in North America and ask themselves who the hell was this.
