We
started off doing samples of styles and settled on two different
directions, One, the stamp drawing, and the second a playful use of the
40'sNew Yorker style I had been playing around with. But from the very
beginning I think Rick wanted to use the stamps. No one else has figured
out how to make them work in a campaign or brochure or any application
since Piauí picked up one of my sketchbook drawings and used it a year
or so ago. It was a smart direction but we ran into snags trying to work
out how to get the client on board. Ricky gave me carte blanche with
these, to do anything I thought I wanted to try but ultimately I tried
to keep it simple and not do anything that would interfere with the play
of the stoic little stamps and the clever little line drawings and how
they work together.
