Straight out of Oak Cliff, Taro Waggoner (aka Fantasy Boy Taro) delivers another unapologetically bold piece that captures the chaotic joy of Dallas sports culture—this time with a towering, red-skinned basketball giant trampling rooftops like it’s game night and nothing else matters.
Titled Big Game Energy, this original mixed media illustration uses stark black ink, muted gray watercolor wash, and an electrifying burst of red to fuel its giant Mavs jersey-wearing protagonist. The play between fine ink linework and expressive, raw color injects a kinetic feel, as if the figure is mid-stride—grinning, wild-eyed, unstoppable.
This one-of-a-kind piece is both playful and chaotic, balancing Taro's distinct sense of humor with his sharp illustrative instincts. It's perfect for collectors who love art with personality, irreverence, and deep Dallas roots.
