N. Wisconsin Enamel Mug Final
I went with my child-like, highly stylized design for my final mug piece. In my sketch, I had intended on using black for outlines, a white background, and only two bright colors, but for my final I went with all lively colors to better match the style of the imagery and to exaggerate the colors of Northern Wisconsin. I also chose to incorporate many different aspects of Northern Wisconsin, including activities, nature, wildlife, and the road and car that so many of us experience these sites while on/sitting in. I handwrite "Northern Wisconsin" and included it on the bottom of the mug instead of the side so that the imagery could take precedent and (hopefully) speak for itself. The road is continued onto the bottom of the piece and the inside to connect it all together.
