Nathan Walker — NY Knicks NBA Playoffs

Austin-based illustrator Nathan Walker created a character-driven series for the New York Knicks as the team entered the NBA Playoffs. Drawing on influences from graffiti, sports, and retro design, the work features exaggerated forms and vibrant color to reflect the energy of New York basketball.

Walker focused on texture, pattern, and expressive composition to build a cohesive visual system across the series. The illustrations present a stylized interpretation of the Knicks’ playoff run through bold graphic treatment and structured visual rhythm.
