The Art of Basketball
Edo Ball is an original art series by Andrew Archer that blends the spirit of basketball with the storytelling and visual style of traditional Japanese art. Launched in 2013, the project has grown into a rich and expansive visual world—spanning more than 75 artworks, a hardcover book, custom jerseys, and limited-run apparel—uniting narrative, sport, and visual craft in a distinctive style.
What began as a single illustration has evolved into a deeply layered world of characters, regions, and lore—each piece contributing to a cohesive universe. Edo Ball continues to serve as both a creative outlet and a showcase of Andrew’s ability to build conceptually strong, long-form visual projects from the ground up.
