Nike Advertisement | 2007
TokyoPop inc. & Nike
After coloring 7 pages for a
Japanese Nike Advertisement,
Nike asked for an additional page.
The original artist was unable to
make the 8 hour deadline. Thus,
I was asked to provide it in his
stead. This is the result.
All the line art was done by hand
on smooth paper with pencil, pen &
ink. The image was then scanned
into the computer and colored with
Adobe Photoshop.
This piece was published in
various magazines throughout
Japan.
