I still remember watching a playoff game against Indiana while I was in New York. What really got me wasn’t the basketball itself, but the passion. I was sitting in a small Brooklyn bar surrounded by Knicks fans, and I remember thinking: I want to be part of this.
To be fair, there haven’t been many reasons to celebrate since then.
But this season was different.
And now, somehow, I find myself illustrating our captain,, for a special New York Times section celebrating the Knicks’ championship.
As a sports illustrator, I’ve been lucky enough to work with incredible clients over the years. But this one feels different. This one feels personal.
A huge thank you to and for their trust, guidance and art direction throughout the project.
I honestly don’t know what else to say.
Let’s Go Knicks. 🧡💙
The original version, without the trophy, came very close to making it to print during the Knicks’ playoff run.
The magazine eventually chose a different cover, but as New York kept moving forward, I decided to update the artwork and imagine the ending.
It never made the newsstand, but it was a fun ride.
Let’s Go Knicks. 🏀🧡💙
Trump in the Oval Office, a broken Cup on the floor, and the World resting in his hand like a fragile trophy.
The idea was inspired by Chaplin’s The Great Dictator, reimagined through the lens of football and power.
It wasn’t selected, but I still like the tension between celebration and uncertainty.
With the World Cup finally kicking off today, it felt like the right moment to share it.
Let the games begin. ⚽️
The assignment was to visualize how the United States, Mexico and Canada came together to bring the tournament to North America. My solution was to show the three nations stitching their flags into a single piece.
Honoured to have my work featured alongside illustrations by so many talented artists.
Thanks to and for the opportunity.

y haciendo una «Chilena», suspendidos en el aire, desafiando la gravedad como dos espejos de una misma era. Dos caminos distintos. Una misma obsesión: llegar más alto.
Hoy, cuando ambos vuelven a aparecer en el horizonte del Mundial de 2026, la ilustraciĂłn adquiere un nuevo significado: Ya no habla de una despedida. Habla de permanencia, porque estos dos cracks traspasaron el umbral de lo posible. SĂłlo nos queda disfrutarlos en cada partido.

Na Copa do Mundo de 2018, Davide Barco imaginou um momento que parecia irrepetĂvel.

At the 2018 World Cup, Davide Barco imagined a moment that seemed impossible to repeat.
Messi and Cristiano attempting a Chilena, suspended in the air, defying gravity like two reflections of the same era. Two different paths. One shared obsession: to reach higher.
Today, as both reappear on the horizon of the 2026 World Cup, the illustration takes on a new meaning: it is no longer about a farewell. It is about permanence, because these two legends have gone beyond the boundaries of what once seemed possible.
All that remains for us now is to enjoy them every time they step onto the pitch.

With all the leagues wrapping up, I found myself thinking about the World Cup.
And honestly, even though I still follow football, I don’t think we’ve had anyone as fun and as skilled as
What do you think?
For this piece, I tried blending some futuristic influences with street-style to give it more of that “street soccer” vibe.
