Anyone who knows me can tell you I'm a Memphis Grizzlies fan and I'd definitely describe myself as a "diehard fanatic" (just like I am with the Memphis Tigers). Fan art is an outlet for me to mix my talent in design with my love for the team and this city. These concept pieces capture game-day energy through bold texture and typography, reimagined in my own style.
Ja Morant is the biggest star Memphis has ever seen. His style is undeniable! I wanted to come up with a concept that reflected his mood lately: Block Out The Noise! I experimented with a few different colorways and product mockups.

I developed two "Beale Street Bear" poster mockups to explore different techniques. The illustrated features of version 1 offer warmer colors, distressed details, and a painterly vibe. In contrast, version 2 is a little more realistic, with cooler tones and a darker, grittier mood. This process highlights my approach to pushing multiple creative directions before refining a final visual style.
For a sports-themed VBS at church, we turned a regular classroom into our own mini “FedEx Forum.” As the go-to artist and resident Grizzlies fan, I was quickly volunteered to lead the design of our Grizz-themed room. No objections here! From setting the game-day vibe to the finishing touches, it was a fun challenge bringing the space to life. My favorite part was painting the logo used at “midcourt,” which brought the whole room together. Needless to say, the kids loved it!
