The Road to the Super Bowl
With the NFL Playoffs starting this weekend, this seems like a good time to share a recently completed project for the Dallas Observer
In early December, I was contacted by the alt weekly's extremely talented, art director Alexander Flores. He had an idea for a pin-up and art deco-inspired image for both a rack card and cover for a special guide being produced for "The Big Game" coming to town in February. He had just received on of my postcards and thought I'd be perfect for the job.
Alexander was kind enough to pass along a few images for inspiration, like this, this and this, as well as a thumbnail sketch, seen below.
I proceeded to a tighter version...
...which was tweaked a little more before heading on to the final.
This was a fun project to work on and at times it felt like Alex and I were thinking with the same brain. I hope to have the pleasure of working with him again.
Oh, and while we're on the topic of football, one more thing.
