Here is a scan of a VISA card poster I illustrated back in the late eighties… One of the first major assignments I received, shortly after moving into my very first own studio. I drew a series of full-page newspaper ads for the same campaign as well, but I don’t seem to have any remaining tearsheets or copies. Oh well…
What is kind of interesting about this piece, is that it was drawn with black india ink on Marker Paper and colored with Edding Graphic Artists Markers. On this piece I opted against using acrylics and airbrushes for some reason. There were of course no computers worth mentioning back then - well, I might have had a Commodore 64 humming away somewhere in my studio at the time, come to think of it, but nothing you could have used for graphics or illustration purposes - and certainly no Photoshop or the likes….
And if you made a mistake, that was always a major problem….
