ILLUSTRATION
KELLYN ACOSTA WORLD CUP ROSTER ANNOUNCEMENT
I was hired by the MLS to create an Instagram post to announce Kellyn Acosta on the World Cup USMNT roster in 2022. Kellyn was the first Japanese American man to represent the US at the World Cup. Thus, I created this illustration to pay homage to lineage and legacy. From the Okinawan bingata style fabric in the rug, to how Kellyn representing the US will inspire the next generation by expanding what it “looks like” to be Japanese American and what is possible.
CLASP utilizes two asLOV2 domains, blue light sensitive proteins derived from Avena Sativa, to sequester protein cargo at the plasma membrane. In response to blue light, the asLOV2 domains release the cargo and expose a nuclear localization signal.
