ALASKAN MARATHON

Here some new art I did for a large Runner's World feature. It was great working with Kory Kennedy and then Marc Kaufman. Great guys. Look forward to working with them again. They really are great art directors. Enough gushing.
This piece was a story by sports writer Steve Friedman and his trip to Alaska. He signed up for the Great Alaskan Marathon Cruise. This would entail boarding a cruise ship that would sail around Alaska. Steve was one of several other running enthusiasts who would do daily runs. The Marathon cruise also included three stops at three different port towns in Alaska where marathon participants like Steve would do a small mini marathon at each location.
He wasn't exactly in the best of shape when he first arrived. He wasn't exactly the best socially either. It's a funny story that you can read in this month's issue on news stands now.
Below is some process and the images in the feature.




















Final Art.
