First of all i want to thanks threadless for this huge and awesome opportunity, and Hafael who give me a hand with the design!

when i received the script/briefing, i imagined that i could do whatever i want, just like Select.
I knew it was going to be really hard to find photo references for those scenes, so i decided to design it using my free style, just using my knowledge around drawing and composition. I don't think my free style is suitable for t-shirts because its too exaggerated and have strange influences ( i think its a mix of Ashley Wood with Eiichiro Oda haha), but it suits a comicbook, so i thought i should give it a try.

these where rejected because the staff was looking for something more like my "suspense" design. As i knew i wouldn't find a good photo reference, i ask hafael to help me with the front sketch

I also did a Cover for the series, I’m not sure but I think they used on comic-on for promotional purposes

Eiichiro Oda is the Autor of One Piece, Slam Dunk is from Takehiko Inoue (but also a tremendous inspiration for me, one of the best!)

haha that is a perfect description. I love the fourth one down of your original sketches, though the final product ended up being phenomenal regardless.
