I've collaborated with multiple professional sports teams for mascot-related artwork for the past few years, with many of them being for specific promo items or official character branding. This page is a showcase of some of my work with NFL and NHL teams!
Sections on this page include my collaborations with Boxxed Up, the Indianapolis Colts, Houston Texans, and Dallas Stars

NHL HOCKEY HOLIDAYS
I've been lucky to team up with Boxxed Up, a mascot-dedicated service for fan deliveries and appearance booking, for sticker illustrations for various holiday bundles.
My art for this series specifically was included in their Hockey Holidays boxes for the 2020 holiday season. I was given 3 NHL teams to work with (Nashville Predators, St. Louis Blues, and New Jersey Devils) and my sticker sheets were delivered by the team mascots to various families alongside other fun gifts.

INDIANAPOLIS COLTS
Blue, the mascot for the Colts, is regarded as one of the best mascots in the NFL and was inducted into the Mascot Hall of Fame in 2020. After briefly meeting him at the NFL Pro Bowl in Orlando, I was honored to be brought on board to give the character an illustrated rebrand.
Most of my contributions are visible on Blue's social media pages, team van, mascot shoes, and multiple shirt designs.

HOUSTON TEXANS
ARTWORK
I've been super fortunate to help TORO, the Texans' mascot, for a few assignments for their social media pages. One of these projects included an illustration to announce the team's lead in the AFC South. Since they just won their game against the Jaguars in London, I was commissioned to create a UK-themed design.
For our yearly NFL mascot rival calendar. I used a mix of my existing NFL mascot heads and a few new ones to fill the lineup. The finished design was posted online and available for use as phone wallpapers.
Although I didn't create the mascot's official branding illustration, it was great to be involved in some form!

NFL MASCOT SUMMIT
Another project that emerged from working with Blue was designing the official poster for the 2018 NFL Mascots VS Pee Wees game, which doubled as the design for that year's NFL Mascot Summit. The graphic was made of my usual mascot head designs and given out to event attendees for autographs.

DALLAS STARS
Victor E. Green, the team's official mascot, reached out to me for a unique promo item idea: Socks. I was tasked with designing a front and back design of the character that was later given away in the 2018 Kid's Club package. I hope to work with the green alien again soon!
