Michael Phelps Collab Illustration!

This is about Michael Phelps and the dismal state of the athlete recruitment programme in the US. For ESPN.

So Sam helped me with this one a bit, so I thought it was only fair to credit him in the mag. Our first co-credit! I couldn't decide which background was best, so I sent the AD (Siung Tjia) all three. I sometimes do that and let the AD decide... I can't tell if they like that or not. I don't think they mind too much. They went with the darker rose background (above).
