BMW: Out of the Shadows

Just completed a fun assignment illustrating a Halloween comic for BMW.

The process began as black and white sketches adapting Marcus Loblein’s story across the six pages, and then developing the research, drawings and lettering from there.

Thanks for Franzika Goppold, Shin Miura and everyone at Looping Group for the opportunity!

Nike: Jordan Trunner Dominate

Last fall I started working with Nike to illustrate a series of comic-book-type cityscapes designed to be staging backdrops for large-format displays for the just released Jordan 'Dominate Training' campaign, featuring photos of Chris Paul.

The sketches emphasized familiar, but not-quite-recognizable, cityscapes and alleyways, balancing dark corners and highlights to show early morning light. The left top and bottom sketches were selected, with some adjustments, and the addition of a basketball court.


Here are a couple of the details from the finished line drawings (developed at 1200 dpi for the sake of enlargement) and below are the layouts from the Nike design team and some shots of the finished displays. Much thanks to David Frank and the whole team at Nike for the great collaboration.
