All New Illustrated City Slicker Packaging
Monday, August 19. 2019
I briefly worried that this may be cheating a bit. My plan for 2019 is to build models of stuff from books, comics, and other static art pieces, and while box art technically counts as art, it also leaves an almost obscene amount of wiggle room. Like, anything that appears on the box could now be considered fair game.
But then I had two counterpoints: first, a photo of the A-Team van dropped onto a tilted background isn't quite the same thing as a piece commissioned specifically for box art, created by veteran AMT/MPC artist Don Greer (car) and Round 2's Senior Designer James Hood (background, composition). Second, I set the rules for this theme; I get to interpret them however I want. The matter now settled, I went ahead with my plan for the City Slicker '69 Charger.
