This was a project I worked on for quite a few weeks on and off for my nephew Jack’s 8th birthday. He had recently had his bedroom redecorated and one wall was dedicated to sports team memorabilia, particularly the Chicago Cubs baseball and Chicago Bears football teams. I wanted to create a shirt effect comprising the team logos, perforated shirt texture and fabric ripples, with his name and birth year displayed. Also incorporated on the design are the lyrics to the Chicago Bears Fight Song, which is played whenever they score a touchdown at home (‘Bear Down, Chicago Bears…’). The final artwork was printed as a 36×12 inch stretched canvas.
