Description

Figured I'd post this with Jrue Holiday playing in his first All Star game last night. Was going for an animated / caricatured look without losing his likeness, although I feel like I didn't simplify his features enough and there is no sense of action, regardless I am happy with it.

If you don't know who Jrue Holiday is, he is the point guard for the Philadelphia 76ers and he has been my favorite player since his being drafted by Philly four years back. My adoration for him began with my realizing that he was actually a few months younger than me, at the time we were both 18 (he was the first player in the league born in the 90's), and it was mind boggling to me that at such a young age he was expected to shoulder the responsibility of leading a professional basketball team into competition each night.
Now, just a few seasons later he has been recognized as among the best players in the game by being named an All Star and I look forward to following his career and, hopefully, his development into the league's best point guard.
