the ball breaker

• posters & prints

It’s 1990. TMNT is my favorite movie. Casey Jones is my favorite character. Bo Jackson is my favorite athlete. Nike puts out my favorite poster, “The Ball Player.” I dreamed of making this poster for nearly 30 years, waiting until I had the skills and time to do it right.

100 drawing hours later and "The Ball Breaker" was born. I made sure to include the appropriate easter eggs and even created a custom TMNT sword swoosh logo. I couldn't believe nobody had made one before!

Release of this poster fulfilled even more dreams when I got to meet Elias Koteas after somebody showed him the print and he reached out about acquiring one. Such a lovely man and a legendary talent!

Process photos of the pencil drawings are included below.
