2026 Local Artist Series

Harrison Freeman

Harrison’s Pickles collection celebrates the chaotic fun and unmistakable personality of Portland’s favorite summer baseball team.

As a Pickles fan since day one, Harrison approached the project with the perspective of someone who knows exactly what makes the team special: the games are weird, loud, funny, and completely unpredictable.

Visually, the collection draws from Harrison’s love of underground illustration, bold character design, and hot rod art. Inspired by artists like Ed Roth, the artwork embraces exaggerated expressions, energetic linework, and a slightly rebellious cartoon aesthetic.

The goal was to capture what Pickles baseball feels like in the summer: a little chaotic, a little ridiculous, and endlessly entertaining.

Because as Harrison puts it: The Pickles are the most entertaining team in Portland.
(Sorry, Blazers.)

About the artist

Harrison Freeman (he/him) is a Portland-based professional illustrator originally from Southern California. He studied illustration at ArtCenter College of Design before moving to Portland in 2012, where he quickly became a dedicated fan of the Portland Pickles.

Known for his expressive pen-and-ink illustration style, Harrison’s work often draws from classic underground cartooning and hot rod art traditions. One of his biggest influences is legendary artist Ed “Big Daddy” Roth, whose rebellious, character-driven illustrations helped shape the visual language of American counterculture.

Harrison is passionate about the craft of drawing and the human side of art-making. In an era increasingly shaped by automation, he believes strongly in maintaining the humanity of creative work, prioritizing hand-drawn expression and personal voice.

When he’s not drawing, Harrison spends time with his wife, daughter, and their three dogs, enjoying Portland summers and cheering on the Pickles at Walker Stadium.
