Iconic Basketball Player Illustrations

Just a few iconic moments captured in art from iconic players in the NBA past and present.

Lacroix X Kyle Mosher Collab?

If you know me, you know I’m a huge fan of Lacroix. I go through 3-4 cases a week. I also did a photoshoot on the rooftop of a building in Charlotte, NC and had a LaCroix in my hand. Recently, I sent them a video of all the empty boxes of LaCroix I had and they sent me a bunch of goodies including 2 pallets of my favorite flavors, Pamplemousse and Passion Fruit. They also signed the letter, XO, shout out Lacroix you guys are real ones! Here’s an illustration of the Pamplemouse can, my favorite flavor obviously. Some LaCroix collab/fan art from yours truly.

"Auston Matthews" (2024) Limited Edition Art Print. NHL Limited Edition Player Art.

As a Bruins fan it killed me to make this illustration. As an art and hockey fan though, I think Auston Matthews is an incredible player as well as an incredible product for the NHL. For a long time NHL players shied away from the national spotlight. The NBA, NFL, and even the MLB has had it’s “Prime Time” players as products for a long time. All that is changing now and we’re seeing a huge swing in young NHL players understanding they are also a brand and can be something bigger than just the game of hockey.

"Female Model" Illustration and color study by Kyle Mosher

Here’s a look behind the scenes at one of my signature illustration pieces in the works. I do a good mix of en plein air, but also photo reference studies. I spend about 2-3 hours a morning at coffee shops doing studies varying from 2-3 minutes to longer 10-15 minute studies of people, clothing, and sneakers. The photo reference studies are a mixture of people I know and photos I find aesthetically interesting. Below is a sneak peek at one in the works.

"LOVEBIRDS" Valentine's Day Illustration by Kyle Mosher

"LOVEBIRDS" Valentine's Day Illustration by Kyle Mosher. I don’t know the original designer of the “LOVEBIRDS” graphic as I had it saved in a random inspiration folder. It sorta looks like the work of NIGO and the folks over at Human Made. I put my illustrative spin on it for Valentine’s Day. I still don’t have a name for my “Double XO Pup” graphic so if you got some ideas shoot them my way. The original inspiration for it was pretty simple, I love the number 2, I love my dog Louis, and I love vintage cartoons.
