Jaden McClanahan: Lover of Anime

Utah Valley University senior guard Jaden McClanahan is as unique and compelling as the anime characters he admires. At a nimble 5-foot-10, his spirit and drive echo the tales of determination and resilience found in his favorite shows. McClanahan has fought through injuries during his four years at Utah Valley and is now enjoying the most successful season of his career; he's an embodiment of the Shonen spirit, where anime heroes rise against the odds, powered by sheer will and unbreakable bonds.

​

The goal of this project was to show off Jaden's love for basketball and anime in a fun and unique way. I did illustrations of the iconic hat that his favorite anime character wears, Monkey D. Luffy, as well as illustrations in the background. this was such a fun project!
