Kobe's Face Kobe's Face

The Unbridled Power of Sports
Defined with Beauty and Grace

MIA’s world class team provides bespoke sports
illustration services that capture the attention and
imagination of sports fans everywhere.

I don't like to place a spotlight on tragedy but I’ve asked MIA to keep Kobe’s portrait, with his beautiful face and fierce eyes, as the first illustration in this Sports Illustration portfolio. It's my way of thanking Kobe for being one of my heroes ever since I first met him in 1998.

Kobe's portrait was the opening illustration in my portfolio over a year before his untimely death. I always considered it the best in my series of basketball player illustrations. He was always the "villain" as I'm a Celtics fan and his Lakers were the "enemy" yet Kobe was the kind of villain for whom I'd root no matter the team.
