PHOTO: A whale living in James Harden's beard (plus other weird and wonderful illustrations)

Filip Peraic is on a most excellent journey. The Croatian illustrator devoted an entire domain to crafting the bearded profile of Houston Rockets shooting guard James Harden.

These aren't your average sketchbook tears, friends. 

Join us under the sea and through the mountains of Beard Forest for a dreamy look at the mayor of H-Town. The entire series can be found at jameshardenillustrated.com.
