The Extraordinary Illustrations of the Lakers' Season

Jack Perkins, an animator known for his @purehoop handle, has spent the entire Lakers season creating comic-strip-style illustrations. These artworks capture the team's highs and lows, evolving in detail and gaining significant social media attention. Perkins, who grew up in a Boston Celtics fan family but was drawn to the Lakers, uses his animation skills to chronicle memorable moments. From Luka Doncic's performances to James breaking records, his illustrations provide a unique perspective. Perkins starts with a blank slate after each game, reflecting on standout moments and spending hours to complete each piece. He plans to continue in the postseason and may or may not return next season.
