Blazer’s Edge has given me the chance to meet and work with an amazing number of quality people, but among the tops is Paul “Photostotts” Navarre. You probably know Paul from his artwork, depicting Portland Trail Blazers Head Coach Terry Stotts as any number of figures from pop culture using mad Photoshop skills and a keen wit. If you just browse the Photostotts series for the laughs, you’re only getting half the story. Somehow, in some weird and magical way, each tribute to Stotts ends up exuding reverence and respect for the subject. It’d be so easy to let a project like this drift into satire, morphing tribute into self-aggrandizement, making the picture selection primary at the expense of the coach.
