Tateno Ayako
During the NBA Playoffs, the spotlight shines brightest on Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, and Tony Parker. In turn, this attention has stirred the internet to bring to the surface some inspired, anime-style fan art by illustrator Tateno Ayako.
It's funny how spot-on and a little bit askew these drawings look. Duncan always seems to have a very quizzical facial expression. Parker looks weirdly villainous. And Ginobili? Well, he looks like Ginobili.
Here are some of my favorites from the batch. See all of them here.
