My boss Nate, needed a quick Christmas present for some buddies that own a local bar. Turns out Nate has a deep love for VW buses. He even called one home for a time that lasted about a year. He has a house now but no bus, in order to keep it close to his heart he wanted some artwork made for a shirt.
This is the artwork I was given to begin the project! We both liked the hand drawn quality of the VW, so I carried that texture into the text. I started with the type in Illustrator arranging it around the bus till I found the composition I wanted to use. Then using my awesome light table, traced and scanned the text back into the computer. |
Meeting adjourned
and here are the final results
