This week, your challenge is to whip up an illustration based on the sport that everyone's playing these days – pickleball!

And if you've been following along, you know I'm always talking about how trends don't just appear out of nowhere – they cycle, evolve, and spin off into new directions. Padel is a perfect example! A ton of my friends here in Thailand are obsessed with it, which is actually how it got on my radar. Turns out padel's been exploding in popularity worldwide, especially across Europe and Latin America too. Same racket sport energy as pickleball, different flavor. Both are worth paying attention to as a trend-savvy artist!

I actually haven't made any pickleball artwork (yet!) but a few of my students in The Art of Collections have!

Here are some of their fabulous examples to get your creative juices flowing! And be sure to give them some love on Instagram! They've been working hard creating some seriously fabulous collections!
