NBA 2K17 MyCourt Murals

My Dream Project

Earlier in 2016 I was lucky enough to be commissioned by 2K Sports to create digital wall murals to be featured in the video game NBA 2K17. The brief required artwork for each of the 30 NBA teams, which would be featured in the MyCareer/MyCourt mode. It was a mammoth task, pretty-much working round the clock for 4 months, but easily the most fun project I've had the privilege to work on.

Words fail to describe how surreal it is seeing my work IN the game, as well as the "special thanks" in the credits! The knowledge that people all over the world will be able see my work astounds me, and in all honesty, I'm still wrapping my head around this experience.

A big thank you to the NBA 2K team for this wonderful opportunity, and in particular Matt Crysdale for his tireless art direction and dedication to the project.

Following is a closer look at some of my work on this project. Please enjoy, and for those who’ve been playing the game - let me know which mural you’re using :)
