Strecker Graphics: Indianapolis Motor Speedway Holiday Card 2007



Just getting around to posting some previous work. I used a pen and tablet for the final render for the first time. I was slow to adopt it, but now feel pretty at ease with it. I still occasionally move back to the mouse for clipping or just to rest my hand. I also included a small shot of the actual card with the graphics done by a designer at the speedway (inset).
