I've finally decided to apply a truly American illustration style to my wall mural. I think the use of bold colours, outlines & stylized imagery with a comic book-feel will truly define the American theme in the NY branch of Yo Sushi. To get an idea of how typical American illustration looks & is portrayed, I have sourced some sample images from which to gain some inspiration.
What I would really like to achieve is a look similar to famous American comic book illustrators, such as Steve Ditko & Frank Miller. I think the style of these two artists have a distinctive look& feel to them that is instantly recognizable. Jack Kirby is another recognizable comic book artist. I think the way comic books are illustrated is a style that many recognize & associate with America, particularly New York, where comic book heroes such as Spider-Man reside. This distinctive style will enable customers to instantly recognize where they are & maybe even for some comedic value, certain superheroes could appear on my mural to reinforce the style & also get the Yo Sushi brand over as a youthful & energetic brand.
