Street Art illustration promoting shopping
Artist, Illustrator: John Potter - Escape Key Graphics
Client: City of Pembroke Pines
Project Management by Holly Bonkowski - Assistant Director of Cultural Arts - City of Pembroke Pines
This is one in a series of vinyl wrap illustrations I created for The City of Pembroke Pines, Florida. The illustrations are being used to beautify utility boxes at intersections throughout the city.
Once a location was established I went on site and measured the box. I created both a flat, scale, projection drawing of the box and created a 3D model in Sketchup. The model allowed me to see how the sketch would really fit wrapped around the boxes and the flattened projection was necessary to create final art that wraps seamlessly around the boxes.
This specific box is at the intersection of Pines Boulevard and 145th Street on the southwest corner.
