US OPEN 2014 Concept sketches

Very happy to have been 1 of  5 illustrators invited to concept for the KEY ART
for this year's U.S. Open held every year in Fllushing Meadows, New York City.

Although I did not win the account, I was honored to have been selected to participate!

Here's what I submitted-

Set Up: 
There’s practically nothing more international and spectacular than the sport of Tennis, add the anticipation of over a million New Yorker fans, celebs, world press, lights and glamour, and what you end up with is a chance to celebrate with champions.

US OPEN 2014
CELEBRATE WITH CHAMPIONS

 
Idea Statement: 
Drive awareness and consideration of the 2014 U.S.OPEN- with a signature illustration that metaphorically acts as an uplifting reflection of its New Yorker fan base but also identifies with the international sports community – signifying the event and its patrons as “Champions”.

Below are my Vector Sketches (not finals) + my ideas of how the artwork can be integrated with activation.

Imac + Adobe Illustrator CC + Wacom

Cheers and enjoy~

BUT THAT WASN'T IT. The FUN Continued...
I was notified and asked to include both trophies in one composition.
So, I did.
