All week I've been busy gathering sponsors and begging for money and/or product for New York Outrigger's annual
Liberty Outrigger Competition. We've got everything from sunblock to handmade paddles to kegs of beer to Hawaiian vacations coming in, so things are looking good so far. And if that's not enough work, I've also been working on the event shirt design in conjunction with another designer, trying to make our deadline (today!). Anyhow, I was surfing around looking for design inspiration earlier on, and at the
Y2Kanu website which I look at quite a bit, there was a link to the Molokai Challenge which took place last weekend. I came across this graphic and think it's amazing. Whoever designed it is The Shit. If anyone knows the artist, please have them contact me so we can have them do next year's race graphics.
I couldn't be more pleased with this year's T-shirt design for New York Outrigger's Liberty race. Daniel Allen rocks. Here are some of his other illustrations. After I saw his portfolio, I thought "This is our artist!" Sure enough, he came through under a ridiculously short deadline as promised. Below is another of his groovy designs, which you can click on to enlarge. Hire this guy.
