Due to turnaround time and budget, this artwork was created digitally before being installed as vinyl wraps on seven bus shelters.
To accurately reflect the neighborhood, I first photographed up and down Lorain Avenue and in the area surrounding Jefferson Park where the shelters would be located. I pull forms and imagery from these photos as elements to be used in the artwork.
I created many of my layers in this design by pulling from these photographs - isolating forms and imagery that I want to incorporate, playing with scale and color along the way. I also included a hand painted element (paint on wood) for the background / sky which brings added texture to the piece.
The artwork was digitally printed and wrapped onto the shelters with a perforated vinyl material - this is great because from the outside, the art is fully visible but when riders sit inside, they can see through.
