Here’s a schedule I did for the Royals’ Local Music Showcase. The talented bands playing before the Royals games, do all different styles of music: rock, country, hip-hop, funk, christian, etc. So I decided to focus on the venue instead of the music. I did a very simple illustration of the Kauffman Stadium’s scoreboard that any Royals fan would pick up in a second. Technically I used the old design of the scoreboards because I liked having the small secondary scoreboard to show what band is on deck for the next concert, but the main scoreboard is generally the same design besides the fact that the new one is huge and hi-def. I was very excited when I heard the Royals O.K.ed my simple design and illustration. I’m a big Royals fan and getting to work with them was a HUGE deal for me.
