When I get the prompt to start drawing, they usually only have a draft for me to read, and it tends to morph between that moment and publication. Interesting! I didn’t have a chance to read the final yet. I thanked Ketcham for her reply but also pointed out that the article does indeed include the team name several times (it’s in the very first sentence, in fact!). I figured if anyone challenged me I would go back to the drawing board, but everyone approved and so it went ahead. In this piece, however, I really liked the grey uniform aesthetically and it also said “Atlanta,” which conformed to the Times‘s request. The second reason was that I liked the uniform! I do try and coordinate uniforms accordingly when I draw sports figures. The first was that the Times asked me not to use “Braves” because they were referring to the team as “Atlanta” in the article, so they wanted consistency. It’s pretty simple and there are two parts to it. When I woke up this morning, this reply was waiting for me: I emailed her last night to ask about all of this. Her Instagram avatar even shows her wearing a Knicks jersey. I’d never heard of her, but a quick check of her website reveals that she does a lot of sports-related work with lots of uniforms (including this cool design for an Ebbets Field Flannels T-shirt). The illustration was credited to Madison Ketcham. But if that’s the case, why would they show the tomahawk on the jersey of the player on the right, especially when it would be so easy to move the player’s arm up a bit to obscure the tomahawk? So maybe this was just an arbitrary uniform choice on the illustrator’s part, and nobody thought much about the incongruity of having the road greys in the home clubhouse.? One possible explanation is that this was the illustrator’s (or maybe the art director’s) way of boycotting the team’s name, due to the Native American factor. But as you can see, the two players are depicted wearing their road greys - which they would never be wearing in their home clubhouse! The article was accompanied by the illustration shown above, which features some very nice uniform renderings (I particularly like the striped socks). The New York Times had a fun story yesterday about how Atlanta has a soft-serve ice cream machine in the clubhouse at their ballpark. After taking a two year gap from college i would listen to this song every morning on my way to class to hype me up.Illustration by Madison Ketcham click to enlarge I put this Closer to my dreams on my grad cap.
