I illustrated this scene based off of a photo from a Race Across America photographer. It's an early morning scene captured somewhere in the Midwest. I can almost feel the humidity and the air starting to warm up as this cyclist competes in the annual Race Across America, a grueling non-stop, cross country bike race that begins in Oceanside, California and ends in Annapolis, Maryland. I have been fortunate to work with this client for the past ten years creating logos and wearables, race booklet artwork, finisher jerseys, posters and participant merchandise.
