Artist Statement: I designed this for our school Yearbook front and back cover – Thunder Mountain High School, the home of falcons. It shows who we really are: we are the Thunder, the proud Falcons and, of course, we are Alaskans.
I used the actual picture of Alaska that we took with our Yearbook class and blended it with drawing and typography using photoshop. The clouds and the lightning were drawn by me from scratch – all of them. I used multiple types of brushes for that. I started with a base sketch idea and over multiple tries and about 4 or 5 different versions until the image was completed.
