CLIENT: BRICK Sport Performance Training (Texas, USA)
PURPOSE: Create a graphic for hurricane relief benefit shirt
APPLICATION: T-Shirts/Singlets (Tank Tops)
BRICK HQ reached out to me to create a graphic for a benefit shirt who's proceeds would benefit the city of Houston and the Red Cross.
For this graphic I wanted to create something powerful and "American." For this reason I chose to utilize the iconic styling of American Traditional tattoos as well the American Bald Eagle. I started with the image of an eagle and built the remainder of the graphic around it. I based the image of the eagle off an image I found in a tattoo artists flash book, and chose a font that mimicked the stylings of old Sailor Jerry artwork.
