How the grinch stole the NBA

 
How the Grinch Stole the NBA_Acrylic
This is an Editorial Illustration for an article on the NBA lockout of 2011. The article stated how the lockout would end and the regular season would start on December 25th (Christmas), if everything went as planned. I immediately thought about what if something happened and it avoided the NBA season to begin on December 25th. The image of the Grinch popped in my head and everything came together almost at once. The whole idea of the Illustration is that the Grinch is in the process of stealing the NBA, symbolized by the basketball. The gifts are symbols of different teams in the NBA.

I drew every element of the piece separately. This allows me to arrange and rearrange each element in the best composition possible.

 The art director suggested it would be better to get rid of the packaging of the Basketball in order to get the message across much quicker.
