Bring Ya A$$ Home for the Holidays
Notes of the design
Digital illustration done in Procreate with monoline and gouache texture brushes (with Quipo font by Studio Aurora.)
I did this design as a personal project to make some fun holiday cards for family and friends. (I may try to make them available online somewhere as well so please leave a note if you'd like one.)
The story behind the piece
Inspired by our Minnesota T-Wolves superstar Ant Man's famous response to Charles Barkley after winning the Western Conference Semifinals against the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA playoffs.
I took Ant's "Bring Ya Ass" phrase one step further to combine it with everyone's wish for family, friends and loved ones to come home for the holidays!
It was fun to make this iconic image into a seasonal celebration. It's hard to miss the joy that Edwards plays with so it seemed all the more appropriate for this time of year.
The Pine Tree pattern used in the classic '98 jerseys was the right final touch to pay homage to our hometown Wolves and the holiday season!
