Day 19. As college football ramps back up, here’s a nod to college athletics in NC. While I was set from the jump that I’d illustrate a women’s basketball player, y’all have no idea how much waffling went into choosing colors for her jersey.

I saw a New York Islanders alt concept on Twitter/x by mcelroy19 that I found very cool. It got my design ans illustration gears turning so I found myself wanting to piggyback on drawing a lighthouse logo. I like the idea of working “NY” into the light beams. The orange on the tower makes a capital I, but seeing the NYI in the design isn’t mission critical. The 4 bands of tape on the teams official logo - a nod to 4 championships - is reflected in the 4 tiers of the lighthouse tower.

The logo artwork is human (me) made. The jersey mockup was executed via Reve.

Best of luck to and folks’ efforts to bring pro baseball to the Triangle. Have long thought NC should be a Big 4 (pro teams) state with clubs evenly split between Charlotte and Raleigh. As much as I enjoy the Knights, MLB in Raleigh just makes more sense. Looking forward to seeing if their efforts materialize.

Now that the school year is winding down, here’s hoping for some time to get back into some old pages in the sketchbooks over the summer. Also, I had no clue the NHL had a semifinal round set (still mourning the Pens’ first round exit).

I’m still working on this series of ice-smoothing, tractor-driving monsters for fun. Presently I’m working on draft 2 of illustrating Carolina (pirate skeleton); he’s the first almost-human I’ve decided to tackle in this second rough draft round.

Have you stuffed your stuff today?

Meant to post this sooner. A number of vignettes didn’t make the final draft for the NCCF cover, but this homage to Merlefest was in my mind from the jump. Here’s hoping all had a great time, and fingers crossed we can make it over to Wilkes County for the next one.
