Illustration for the published kids book Journey to Etheopia with Captain Addis & Hanna

I was the second hand illustrator for this project. Meaning I corrected every page after it was previously created. When correcting, my job was to re-create and correct every page while maintaining the original artist's style . Photoshop & Illustrator programs were used.

I handled the illustration work for this prototype, but Gerard Suber is responsible for the concept design idea. This is a concept rough draft for Nike's collaboration with Florida's Plus skateboard shop. I will post futher pictures as the shoe develops.
