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.

This specific box is at the intersection of Pembroke Road and 72nd Avenue on the northwest corner.

First I went on site and measured the box, then I submitted a sketch which was well received. I tried to make a design that was flexible for adjustment, but I did end up making a continuous image that wraps the whole 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 box and the flattened projection was necessary to create final art that wraps seamlessly around the box.

This specific illustration was to celebrate the history of a regional airport. I depicted aircraft I could confirm had been at the airport in the past and some modern ones as well.

I collaborated closely with the vinyl printer and installer (Color Reflections) to ensure that my vision makes it on to this utility box.
This box includes augmented reality. Read more about this on the artwork's main page.

Be sure to look for this artwork at the intersection of Pembroke Road and 72nd Avenue on the northeast corner.
