“CHANGING OF THE GUARD”

Created by: Tyler Lang

Tyler explains, “I made this piece in response to this almost awkward position I feel as a fan of Portland right now. Roy who’s been the face of the franchise (deservedly so) is obviously a very different player now. Each night I feel like I’m watching the downfall of a great baller. LaMarcus Aldridge has brought a fresh bounce, and a strong identity for this team of misfits to hold on to. It’s sad, it’s exciting, it’s a great time to be a Portland fan. Rip City!”

Tyler emailed me this two minutes ago, and I liked it so much, I put it up directly. Beautiful design. Great story behind the piece. That’s the idea of the project. Check out more of his incredible work at his website alwayswithhonor.com, and be sure to tell him how much you like this piece on twitter: @alwayswithhonor
