Bubba Luvs That!

Say hello to Bubba! You've probably seen this guy at an Erie Bayhawks game. He is the biggest fan of many Erie Sports Teams and now a "supafan" of GE Federal Credit Union. Read all about him at www.bubbaluvsthat.com



It's pretty exciting to be assigned the job of transforming someone with so much "flava" into a caricature...especially someone with big personality and big props. Love the glasses Bubba!

Here are the finished designs drawn in adobe illustrator. In the past I've always used a strong black outline as you typically see with cartoons, but by eliminating most of the lines and relying on shading to define the shapes the result is a nice "polished" look. Plus, vector graphics can be scaled to any size without losing quality. Bubba, I want to see you on a billboard!



I'm pretty happy with the designs and am looking forward to seeing them at an upcoming Erie Bayhawks game. For now, these will be used on a T-shirt, poster, and possibly a coloring book.

Bubba...you've been doodled!
