I produced several items for East Kingdom Outfitters, an on-demand swag store benefiting the EK Royal Travel Fund. The idea was to offer imprinted items with Eastern images, things which would instill kingdom pride (much like sports team apparel). I was tasked with creating some original art, and also re-purposing existing art (like group heraldry) for the site as well. Among other things, I created an image called “We’re From the East – We’re Friendly” and the logo for the site.

The logo was done completely digitally, but the “We’re Friendly” art was much more involved. It began as an ink line drawing, which I scanned and cleaned. I set type in Illustrator and painted it in Photoshop over the course of many days (two hours a day of train ride is useful for that).
