Dragon Hoops by Gene Luen Yang
Dragon Hoops is the latest graphic novel written and illustrated by Gene Luen Yang. Relying largely on his own experiences, Yang tells the story of how in 2015 Bishop O'Dowd High School boys’ basketball team was in the running for the California state basketball championship. As a faculty member, Yang began to ask why people were making such a fuss over this sport and through interviews with coaches, other faculty members, and players, he tells the history of basketball both at his school and in the United States. Simultaneously, Yang weaves in his own story of how he became inspired to create Dragon Hoops.
For all who are fascinated by history, enjoy graphic novels, or just want a peek into an author’s thought process, pick up Dragon Hoops. You will be on the edge of your seat until the final buzzer sounds!

A rousing game of anti-grav ball at Spedmore Stadium. Hot dogs are unfortunately still $30 in this alternate reality.

This is my character design progress for a shortstory I’m working on for Phil Maira
He gave me a brief description of what he needed and based on that I developed a few variations. The final choice for the boy was pretty straight forward, where as for the girl we mixed and matched our favourite dress and hair with the right girl.
*I’m open for hire as a comic artist, Illustrator and character designer. Send me your inquiries to [email protected]*

I hinted before, but No Rules Tonight, the new graphic novel by Kim Hyun Sook and I from Penguin Workshop has officially been announced for 2024 release, with a followup coming in 2025!
This whole endeavor has been lifechanging. Here’s the blurb from Publisher’s Marketplace, where it was the only featured graphic novel announcement of the day.
